Horn, Sertain, Sewel, and Slater have the best shot at succeeding. However, there are others who have a chance as well. Just a longer shot to do so.

 

If you can get one of those 4, you good. For me it is trade back for Horn, and then LT. I should hope to come out of that with 2 top shelf starters. And still have draft capital to still make some noise.

I don't know that I would put any of these CB's in the "best chance to succeed" category, personally. 

We will see how it works out.

So get yet another top tier CB just to let them walk again. I mean if it was that big of a deal we should’ve just signed a proven player like BB last year and saved the pick.

I’m not refuting the logic but man does it not make them look like a jackass doing that?

Yes--new GM, so lets see.  Moton and Moore will be a good test.

Of course if we hold on to the ball and eat up clock then the other team doesn't get as many possessions or time to score while simultaneously protecting our weak DBs.

So it goes both ways. 

 

We need to control clock and get off the field on D simultaneously.

Not a fan of CB at #8 if Sewell, Slater, Fields, Pitts, Chase, and /or Waddle are available but love the attention to detail, especially the spotlight shown on 3rd down situations for the team last year. I was wondering on what planet some of these individuals that were claiming we had an "average defense last year" were stealing their meth from.

After the thorough write up though, I'm much more at ease with taking a lockdown corner to pair with Donte 🙂

    • 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.
