Thielen had 1k yards last season, XL was traded up for, sanders looks like a stud, Coker looks like a steal, chuba is one of the best catching receivers in the league and brooks has flashed already 

what are you talking about 

People gotta make excuses whenever they can. Our recieving corps is better than anything we’ve had since Smitty left. By a lot.

I mean it's not a great look we have no passing game in the red zone. We have to see how this translates to the rest of the game.

Sucks Sanders got hurt.  He was putting in work and I think he would have helped us out a lot in the red-zone last week and today.

Idk if it's a size issue Legette isn't a small guy we can't get to him either. Gotta figure it out.

    • 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.
