Yea I can see this, and I'm ok with it.

I don't think you say what Rhule said, have guys likely to miss the game(which we do) and then play him.

Doesn't matter if we agree or not, I just think he basically gave us all an indication that he isn't keen to put him out there in the preseason without absolutely pristine conditions for him. Which.....having a lot of this OL is about as far from pristine as I can imagine but I'm not Matt Rhule.

Since he will probably only play 1 or 2 series I just want him to look like a starter. He doesn’t need to score a touchdown, even though that would be a plus. 
Just show some of that top 3 pick talent. 

I think I read a quote that they are looking to get him about a quarter and a half of action.

Is he playing, depends on if he has his wrs?

Rhule said the WRs and OL would all have to be a go...for us to see Sam for a series or two. 

There was nothing about the presser that makes you think Sam sees the field IMO.    I think rookies and fringe starters could see some work.

      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.
