T-Mac having himself a game, 10 rec, 202 yards, 1 TD, with a few highlight reel plays and should have just had a TD pass as well on a crazy play but our QB dropped the ball when he would have walked backwards into the end zone (would have been his 2nd impressive pass of the day as they ran a flea flicker earlier that he ran all over before making a solid pass).

He's the pick, I don't care if we're at #1, he should be the pick, he's going to be a STUD in this league for the next decade plus.

It's a hole we haven't been able to fill since Smitty, it will help whoever our future QB is, he's just flat out the pick.

So this would be his first TD since week 1 right?

Yep, and he's admittedly had some pretty bad statistical games, but anyone who's watched the games can tell you it's not because of him.

The offense has been a mess under this new staff and our QB has been pretty bad all year, all that combined with teams double and triple teaming him most plays because we have nobody else who scares anyone, it's limited his chances.  Even having said all that, he's still at 982 yards thru 8 games this year, but stats in his favor or against him aside, he's going to be a Top 10 pick at worst, very possible Top 5, and he'll be the first WR off the board, I'd bet my bottom dollar on that.  

Given it being such a position of need for us, he's my pick no matter what, although if we did end up #1 and could trade down a couple spots and still be sure to get him, I'd of course like to do that to get more assets as well.

Tmac is going to be in real consideration especially if we trade both Johnson and Thielen.

 

Not sure we take him #1, but anything outside of the #1/#2 pick he's definitely fair game.

 

At this point I'm only looking at 4 players Sanders/Ward/Tmac/Hunter. If we end up with either of those 4 I'm good.

What would we have to do to get Prime's approval to draft his son?

 

The more I watch Sanders I'm convinced he's a franchise QB. 

 

We have a decent Oline. Maybe sign Tee Higgins and we have something. 

I just don’t see it. We are too unstable and a smaller market team to begin with.

Shedeur 10/10 passing

Effortless passer. If we can't draft him I'm expecting a massive offer for whoever wants him.

 

Lucky for us if he wants a preferred team that is good news for us. They have to pay up if you want a specific team. Any trade starts with a minimum 3 1st Rd picks.

    • 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.
