I am looking forward to the draft. This will be the first year in several that I have not been camping and had to get news from charitable folks who texted me which I could receive the transmission if I hiked to the top of the mountain.

What am I excited for? Just got back from the pinewood derby and my son got second place. Only took me 2 kids and 9 tries to finally get it right!!!

The draft. I have a few buddies that put money on the top ten. Whoever is closest wins the pot. Kinda fun, and by the time the Panthers are actually on the clock I should be a little drunk :D

I thought of that the other day. Have everybody make a Round 1 draft board and make some kind of point system so that the person who is "closest" will win.

Much more excited for the draft as a whole. I won't even be watching day 1 though.

The Draft. I'm one of those people who watches the whole thing. (Plus it gives me the chance to BBQ! This year's menu is pulled pork, grilled pineapple & peppers, corn, ABTs, potato skins, maple bread, and beer.)

Now thats a draft party.

I have been looking forward to the Draft since mid November so definitely the draft.

This time of year is like a 'hump' day for NFL fans....the schedule release/draft weekend....halfway between the Super Bowl and pre-season.

Personally for me it's the schedule release...I don't have the luxury of having every weekend off so I take one of my vacations and break it down to individual days off....this allows me to be at every home game.

    • I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.   
    • 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.
