lol he's not lasting to the 2nd. I'm not even a big fan of his but Combine sealed him up as a late first at worst.

Combine has me crushing on Adetomiwa Adebawore. 6'2, 280, 4.49. Decently long arms and 27 reps too. Raw as hell but you can't teach that size/speed combo, hard to imagine a better project to take over YGM's spot.

There are some very intriguing 3-4 ends that can kick inside when needed.

I was a fan to bring him in as a potential Shaq replacement earlier in the process.  Now with the defensive scheme switch and his exceptional combine I give up. He will land with a perennial favorite in the later part of the first.  This combine gives credence to why we are switching to a 3-4 though. The linebackers and "undersized" DE's OLB types are showing out.  Give me a Owen Pappoe and Will McDonald and call it a day.

Wouldn't be shocking to see him go to Chicago with our #9 overall pick.

I think jalen carter will be there and they will be dancing in the streets......but if any team form 8-14 picks smith, its fair........thats how hot he is currently. Like above he was the "QB bust plan" fall back for me.....

I’m pretty tuned into the Bears and have been accurate on what I’ve said about not trading Fields, what their plan was for this off-season, and had the trade down to a T outside of Moore because I thought there’s no way we give him up, but I knew the didn’t want Burns…

We have to see how green agency plays out but there’s a good chance they are still taking Carter at 9 if he drops. 
 

If they can sign Hargraves and Jones up the middle they can move on from that and focus on offensive line or edge. 
 

As of right now I see the Bears trading back from 9.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      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.
