Hate to say it, but is it time to trading?

Steve Smith is the man. But I really think Foxy's and Hurney's style is slowly but surely leading him into missing the Hall of Fame. Trade Steve and Stewart and Get some picks( much needed I might add due to the lack of first rounders we have seen in the recent past. Thanks Marty! We are REBUILING. Hate that freakin word. Be up the O and D line, utilize Devin Thomas at WR and try out you 3 rookie QB's. Our Secondary is great. Man this season sucks. See you Foxy. Its been nice. WELCOME Cower. Hope you can hook us up!

instead of the trade ideas you all have, why don't we use the saved money and bring in free agents. That and strategically resign the talent we have now. I dont believe we are running out of money! Resign DWill, bring in a vet qb to help Clausen, and reamp the OLine through free agency. Allow the defense to grow together. We have too many rookies on the team already. Hell the reason why we suck is because we cut the veteran talent we had.

Do it before we turn into the rams!

This a personal opinion.

    • 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.
