I know nothing about college players don't watch college ball much, but I saw him play one time and said he's a going to be a good pro. I have noting really but a gut feeling to go by on this, but when I get that feeling it's usually right.

I said teh same thing about D.Will and knew nothing about him till the draft.

But like I said it's just a feeling.

Pike is going to have to learn how to play under center. That could take 2-3 years. He has the size and the physical tools to become a really good to possibly elite QB.

Hopefully in 2-3 years he will be some good trade bait. IMO Pike is as good as McCoy.

Yeah we picked him up because of the value. Could see him being traded in a few years depending on his progress.

I honestly hope we trade Clausen and build him up kinda like Cassel because I know Pike is better, Pike knows how to win games where as Clausen does not and we do not want a losing qb, hell Jake knew how to win games but it was sloppy and we lost more because of his poor throwing ability and poor ability to read a defense

You are really smart. Have you ever thought about going down to the Sylvan Learning Center and seeing if you could get a job sweeping the floor?

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      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.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      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.
