yea leverage as in, we dont need you that much so we can only offer a fraction of what other teams might be able to offer.

Well sort of, but more like, "we're not going to obscenely over pay for you like we did with Williams because we have a decent back behind you, but we'll offer a competitive rate, take it or leave it."

either way, keeping him will be tough unless he just loves it here or nobody else finds him valuable

Stewart would net us a 3rd rounder at most. Teams just do not give high draft picks for RBs, especially used RBs. That being said, I bet we take that 3rd rounder... Stew and Tolbert are basically the same stylistically. No use having both of them on the roster. If I were Hurney, I'd trade DWill, and re-sign Stew, but I know that won't happen.

Not true at all. He was a first rounder to begin with who has outperformed his contract. I could see Fox or Ryan giving up a first for him. Particularly next year's.

also Hurney is a stubborn bastard when it comes to guys he drafted. Example a) Clausen (reports are Hurney still thinks he could be good- I think Gantt said that) I HIGHLY doubt he is looking to move one of his better draft picks and a first rounder no less in Stew

......but maybe I'm just reassuring myself

      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.
