In the draft I wanted a QB in the first and an OL in the second. 

So the Bears  followed my draftboard.  They took a QB (Fields) in the 1st and a OT (Tevin Jekins) in the 2nd.  In fact we passed on Tevin and traded the pick to the Bears.

The Bears had 47 yards of offense today against the Browns and fell to 1-2.

The Jets drafted a QB  and a Guard in the first this year and a tackle the first round last year, they are 0-2.

I'm glad I'm not our GM.

Draft is a crapshoot. Our first rounder is going to have contributed to 3 games this season. Does that means its a bad pick? Not if he is good long term.

Definitely feel like it's starting to shift under Rhule.  I feel we're on that precipice similar to what happened in Seattle once Schneider and Carroll got there.

Love him or hate him, the big difference is Tep, big money makes a difference, why Rhule, Brady and Fit are here. Can't spend over the cap, but can out spend everyone on staff and facility's. 

So far seems he doesn't seem to meddle,  hopefully he's our Kraft.

What make/model/year? Any mechanical work on it too?

79 chevy c10 square body.  I've done most of the work. Some things required a professional,  which I'm smart enough to admit to know when I need one.

It's lowered and pumped, fast and loud baby. I'm currently changing the interior color and upgrading the seats. I'll post pictures when I get it finished if anyone gives a rats ass.

    • 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.
