Ron Edwards

Terrell McClain

Sione Fua

Frank Kearse

Jason Shirley

Andre Neblett

Who gets cut? The first 3 are probably locks but meanwhile the last 3 showed way more production in the limited action they got last season. I have no idea which one is the odd man out, if we're going off nothing but play last year it's Fua but it's unfair to give up on him yet. I say Kearse and Neblett but I like the Shirlister too... Ugh

Def dont want to get rid of Shirley or Kearse. Dudes are massive and still young with decent upside.

Id say cut Fua or Neblett.

I don't know if they can cut neblett...but you can't cut either of the third round picks after one year which would be dumb. Coaching staff is gonna have a hard time deciding who to keep

Yea but it would be ignorant to cut the better player (now and future) just because one was a 3rd round pick.

Ya I know...but If they cut fua and he turns out to be a good player on another team and kearse Shirley and neblett flame out, then we look stupid for giving up on a third round pick after one year.

You have to make the best decision with the facts at hand. All the DT's are young expect Edwards.

Kearse and Shirley were both more productive than Fua and both have more upside.

You cant cut better players for the fear of the lesser player being good in the future.

I'm with you man, I'm just coming at it from the FOs point of view. I dont know if they'll give up on them after one year. I hope they keep kearse Shirley and neblett....Ron Rivera seems like a guy who only really has loyalty to players who perform.

      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.
