PSU really starting to takeover the battle of the trenches on both sides of the ball.

This drive might be a turning point in the game for them.

ND can get back into with points before half and they receive the 2nd half kick, but it's do or die time.

I know defense is the bigger need, but if Warren ends up being the pick at 8, I won’t be mad at all.

I just don't see him as that type of TE. He looks more like the good starter type variety of TE. The type of guy who might go in the teens but usually goes somewhere late 1st

They need to get the run pass mixup thing going with Riley Leonard or it’s over 

I just think the PSU D is too fast for it. Leonard is a decent runner but not against this type of speed. They gotta sling one deep even if it doesn't work. They have to do something to make this D respect the vertical game. They're just living within 10 yards of the LOS right now because why not? ND has done nothing to get them to drop deeper.

    • 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.
