Considering Decker has 3 more years, after this one. So Sewel isn't going to LT any time soon. Strange pick.

Yup, just didn't make any sense...unless they were unhappy with Decker, and that obviously wasn't the issue.

I like Horn, and Sewell may turn out to be hugely overhyped, but man, I was drooling.

Yup.  

On the up side, it gave us something to complain about on the huddle. soooo....

That was a jail break.  Sewell's guy was one of three who met at the QB.  The guy who really got beat like a drum was the RG and the QB couldn't step up into the pocket...thus both edge rushers were able to get home as well.

He's raw as hell and didn't play last year.

They clearly thought they could remould him into a RT so they could have bookend OTs.

So one minute this fan base complains because we don’t value OTs enough but then make fun of the Lions for drafting one when it isn’t their top need. 

OTs are hard to find, OTs are expensive, OTs are important, I won’t fault a team for drafting a guy that a lot of people considered the one they drafted a generational talent at that position.

You can find a WR later, think about it, even if you are willing to spend big in free agency there isn’t a guarantee you can find a very good OT.  Most years there are several quality receivers on the market.

No doubt. And as soon as Sewell gets used to the NFL, Decker is top 10-15 type value in any trade.

You don’t even have to trade him.  Decker is under contract for 4 more years, Sewell is cheap for 4 years.  Once Deckers contract is up you pay Sewell and hope you have a new rookie to fill the other tackle spot.  
you keep both OT spots strong and you are only having to pay one big contract.  It is how every team should be doing it.

      Bust alert - Eight NFL players running out of time to prove themselves entering 2026 season

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Bryce has improved each season, fwiw, statistically.  His slope is rising.  (Not to say I am high on him--I am not, but I have not given up on him--nor have I given up on XL, but damn he pisses me off)  CJ's slope is descending.   I was never a Penix fan.  Never, I say!

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that we could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch Sorsby.  If Bryce regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  He is a great dual threat, RPO QB.   I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  Pickett?  King?  yikes.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
