All the holes we have everywhere now is there really a bad pick we can make?

i say pick a position thats hard to find a good one outside of the top 10

 

so QB or OT imo

 

though, if pass on OT i like the potential we have at OT. play them in a tank year, see what we got, and draft one next year if need be. go get Tua this year

Not against any of that but i think tua out of reach and taking him subjects him to the very first problem you presented at OT which could bust him up for good and already has hip issues...

then cut all older expensive guys, let the young guys play to see what we have, and get a top QB next year. 

 

oh yeah, and take it on the head this year as far as dead cap, so in the following years we have all the resources  available to create a smart rebuild, and not be held back by past contracts

I would be on board with that as a long term move, I dout tep wants to be just straight up ass gas for a year or 2 tho... he seems like losing really pisses him off.

I don’t think we would even have the option. Someone is going to fall in love with him at the combine and take him ahead of us I think. He really is a freak but I REALLY am crossing my fingers for Brown. Maybe figure out a way to get back up in the range of some late first round interior lineman after that. 
 

I just hope we stay true to the idea of being patient and don’t go chasing after a Herbert at 7 or a Fromm in the second etc

are they 7th pick good tho? not so sure.

Agree with you. That’s why I’m on the Brown train personally. LT is a big need but Brown appears to be as “can’t miss” as they come on another huge position of need. 
 

When you are picking at 7 you just have to make sure you don’t miss. Brown will be productive for a long time.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      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.
