The man has never dove into the deep end of the pool concerning F.A. I believe he never will. He will find the best value that he believes is available for the lower priced contracts. Love it or hate it, that's the reality. Every year some are waiting for the big signing early in F.A....good luck with that. 

Be ready for the let down and apathy that will ensue as the F.A agent period slowly winds down without the big signings. Just the way he works.

I'd agree if he hadn't just given Kalil's brother a ridiculous 55 million 

To be fair, it's likely 7-8 mil for the first few years, average for this inflated LT market.

Sad thing is we have to hope he turns into a force and his underperformance was a product of culture and underwhelming talent everywhere in the Viking's o-line.

There is a reason we don't win Championships. We are cheap and try to MacGyver our way to winning it all. Take a look at our records over the last 10 years and like it or not, the 15 season is an exception, not the norm. We don't have a burning desire to win at all costs.

Say what you will. Unless he has his balls in a vice he won't spend the big bucks. He was between a rock and a hard place with the tackles. I doubt he will be dropping big cash on another player. Hope I'm wrong.....but the past says I'm not.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
