I was that shocked when I heard RR say we need a scat back. Now, I looked (out of boredom) to see who was out there to fill that "need" and him, Rainey, and Demps were the only three from the Draft and FA. Demps is going the olympics route and Rainey is garbage! That leaves LaMichael. Now, I hate the idea and figured if I brought it up then it will not happen, but if it does then let's be honest..............a nice weapon to have and in theory makes our already dangerous offense even more dangerous.

i feel real confident in saying that would be a monumentally bad idea.

we have weak spots all over the place at starting positions. we don't want to spend an early pick on a guy who would be 3rd on the depth chart and only used situationally with no real significant amount of PT.

we can find someone that fits the bill late in the draft. it's something fancy to add that would be fun, but this team needs too much work to draft that guy so early.

I will agree, I don't think its a good idea.................BUT, look at it a little deeper. Look what Sproles offers! LaMichael becomes our PR also and is a BIG threat at PR. One guy gives us a HUGE threat to offer with our offense and gives us a legit PR. I'm not gonna cry if it happens.

If the playoffs this year have shown us anything, its that a well balanced team with a strong defense wins big games.

See: Texans & Giants last week, Ravens, & the 49ers

If we don't end up with Kirkpatrick in the 1st you capitalize on the tremendous amount of CB talent in this draft

yea, it would be a nice luxury to have

but wouldn't it be an even nicer luxury to not have to score 40 points on offense to win a fuging game?

Indeed, but getting our starters back is an instant upgrade. I am confident our 1st pick in the draft will be defensive and help in our ability to generate more of a pass rush. However, LaMichael James gives us help in sustaining drives, makes our run game even more dangerous, and helps us murder even the best defenses in the TOP battle!

So let me see if I got this....we are gonna generate a Texans/Giants/Niner pass rush by drafting a cover corner? I'm lost!

      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.

      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.
