If we knew for a fact we were gonna have a legit defense I would say do it for one year. Defense has too many question marks and the potential to be sub par to think we could try to win it all this year though. Owens has calmed down and all we need is some legit #2 play and this offense will be beastly....and he could do that. Did it in Buffalo with his mouth shut.

if a team is a #2 WR away from a Superbowl squad Owens makes sense. If not, teams should stay away.

I used to hate T.O. and the thought of him being here would piss me off. Now, not so much. His skills along with attitude have both decreased. Couldn't care either way. Wouldnt be bad to rent for one season

I would not want T.O here simply because I would not want him to take up a roster spot.

On the other hand, another veteran WR could be nice, especially if he would take the time to mentor some of our up and coming talent.

But we would not have that up and coming talent on the roster if we bring in veterans. What a lovely catch 22.

On a side note, I still see us bringing in another DT befor the season begins. Might not be big name, but we love pulling in players other teams discard. With the talent that was at DT and CB in the draft, could be some value out there after teams cut to 53.

I feel the same way but from looking at the Panthers moves lately such a thing would be a luxury. Steve Smith will have to be that guy. He has already stated that he'd be up to the challenge.

Good thing about that catch 22 is that we do have young talented players to speak of.

I don't really see the harm in it. He knows he's not a #1 receiver anymore so that should settle the dispute with Smitty. Also he seems much more mature than in earlier years. The Panthers are betting all their cards on Jarrett and Armanti to step up, why not have a little insurance and bring in a proven vet?

      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.
