Where to go in Round 4?

Just draft another nickel for the lulz

Say something about versatility and have him play any and all positions along the defensive front, middle, and back.

Call it the "this is why we don't have back to back winning seasons yet" defense.

There are 2 decent OT's in Tyrell Crosby and Jamarco Jones on the board.  I like Jones the best, he has long arms and just needs to get stronger.  He can develop into a starting LT once Carolina gives Matt Kalil the boot.  

Crosby because he has quick feet and more strength them Jones we don't need another speed bump out there coach him up this year playing in spot duty if ness but next year we save that kalil money let him get busy. He a natural run blocker let's get him ready to go we have a excellent O-line coach.

Anything other than CB. 

Everyday it becomes clearer and clearer that Norman’s tag shouldn’t have been rescinded and we should’ve tried to lock him up.

For all his flaws, Hurney wouldn't have let his ego get in the way of that. Especially since Josh wanted to stay.

And then Gettleman compounded it by taking 3 CBs back-to-back

    • 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.
