Mingo got more in return than Dionte Johnson did?!?! Leave Dan Morgan alone, he knows what he is doing! 

 

Panthers are run by Tepper.  Cowboys are run by Jerry.  I chalk this up to two idiotic owners meeting up vs Dan Morgan being savvy.  Because nothing about Dan says Dan is a good deal maker.  

We probably should only deal w/ the Cowboys, Raiders, etc.

The draft trade to get a future 2nd was a nice trade too. There has been some bad ones too no doubt.

Mingo never looked good out there seems like a great athlete attempting to play the WR position Jalen Coker is half the athlete but a natural WR 

Mingo is pretty damn good at blocking. IMO, he plays more like a special teams 4th or 5th WR on your roster than a 2nd round pick starter.

For a 4th is a haul considering what other WRs have been going for

 

 

Dan fleeced Jerry Jones 

 

 

side note:  Fitterer’s last 2 draft look historically bsd

When you realize that Mrs. Rhule had the input on our best draft pick value of 2021-2023, it’s scary how bad that guy really was.

“Among others”

Listen. I like Dan Morgan a great deal on a personal level. I very much want him to be successful here.

But can we agree that a solid house cleaning should have been in order after navigating some of the worst drafts the last few years that even made Marty Hurney look vaguely competent by comparison?

My personal feeling is rearranging staff is basically delaying the inevitable. If others don't agree hey no problem. But we have had the worst win percentage in all of professional sports the last few years. We can trade players away all we want. We still have to prove we can actually draft competently going forward.

Fitterer’s last 2 drafts

Ickey is literally the only NFL player from these 2 drafts, and he's hanging onto a starting role by a thread. Just atrocious. And made even worse by Bryce also costing an extra 1st overall pick + more. Still feeling the effects next year not having our 2nd that will certainly be in the 30s.

    • 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.
