It seems like a remember an interview with Tepper where he said something along the lines of we can not go into next year without a back up plan for Cam.  

At the bottom of the third can anyone really be that certain about any future pro bowlers.  This is where you take a risk on a backup QB and hope he can develop. 

Unless Cam forgets to wear a tie on a road trip, he ain’t developing on Sundays

I loves Allen's performance against the Saints. But let's remember he got hurt in his only start. Same as Heinicke. I think they like a big guy like Grier and think neither of the guys we have are durable enough. I wonder how their rehabs are going. Maybe the Panthers know something about Allen and Heinicke that we don't.

I have a feeling that Allen is the real deal as a fringe starter. Back ups don’t come in like that and just light  it up with those kind of touch passes. He was clearly better than Heinicke.

They are doing the same with Moton. Dude comes in and plays lights out at LT in live action and don’t let him play there again all year. They are too loyal to is “supposed to start” and who is “supposed to be better”.

Yeah they are not backups like I've been trying to tell all of u, especially the ones that said oh Allen looked like he should start after beating 3rd and 4th stringers at NO

Your conclusion is correct but your rationale is wrong. Allen hasn't shown he is durable enough and might still be rehabbing so he might not be our backup. But he looked great which just confirms how potent this offense is that a guy in his first start looked so good.

I understand. They went according to the draft board. Only thing annoying about this pick is that the racist element of this fanbase will want WG starting the sec Cam turns the ball over. 

You’re the only one who is bringing up the racist element.

Are we just in love with him because he's good looking and from NC? Everything I'm reading says he's a 4+ round player with a weak arm, and potentially just a product of a system. So far the best grade I've read is C.

What's all this bull about "value"?

Watch film and u would know. All everyone cares about is Newton, and he has been beaten to death. We don't know if he can last a season. No way anybody can convince me that Allen is the answer. If u think so then u need to quit watching football!

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      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.
