Who the lions drafting? No way Carter is still around right?

His anime game was strong though, can't quantify that in pff stats.

So, uh, who do the lions take now? Whether right or wrong, I think they pass on Carter if he's still available. They go edge, dl, or corner?

If the Claypool has some potential I think it's fair to give him at least one offseason to work with a young QB that had a line consisting of "thoughts and prayers" scrawled in feces on wet cardboard to protect him before calling it a bad trade. Seems pretty difficult to make something happen when the guy throwing you the ball is running for his life every play, and you aren't going to have built up that chemistry to know each other's tendencies when poo poo hits the fan to bail out of busted plays.

If you take that stance you're going to be proven right way more often than you're wrong though.

Here's hoping Aaron Glenn can coach this talent and Goff doesn't turn into a pumpkin again.

Not trusting that crazy eyed gently caress on the Texans is probably a good call.

So does Carter drop to the Lions? Do they take him if so? That pro day makes me think they try to trade down if he's available. Also, if for some reason Richardson is still there at 6, you hop on that? I don't think they will be picking this high again for a while.

If 4 QBs go in 5 picks, how is that 5th not Anderson?

I don't see them taking a TE with the later round 1 pick. It's not a position they seem to care much about and from what I understand that's one of the few positions this draft is deep on.

I don't see them taking at shot at Lamar, they had something like a top 5 overall unit last year. Seems like a pretty large diversion from Holmes' team building philosophy right when that looks to be ready to pay dividends with on field success. I'm not ruling out at QB at 6 depending on how the top end shakes out though. If you're trying to build a perennial contender you want a good QB on a rookie deal.

Right and outside of those 3 I think you wait until the 2nd-3rd round and take a shot on a developmental QB. If Carter somehow drops I think you take him, if not, I'd see what the value is for a trade back and try to pick up a combo of DL, corner, and maybe TE depending on what's available and when.

Is there a high(ish) floor QB that would still be around by the second round? I could see them going in that direction if they don't think The Guy is there at 6. The draft being deep at every position listed as a need of theirs combined with a high pick seems like the best time to take a swing on your future QB. If you whiff, you still have 2 more years of Goff at least, and it's not even their own pick that's this high, so they aren't likely to be drafting here in the near future. I'd love to see a monster D line terrorizing opposing offenses though, that's more fun to me than seeing deep bombs.

Gonz posted:Of course, if it ever gets to the point where Nate Sudfeld is playing QB, the season is already over with. "Sudfeld Starts, Season Washed." The headlines write themselves. I think I'm sold on Tyree Wilson at 6 if Carter isn't there, or if he is and Holmes says nah. I think he's earned the trust at this point.

Can't say anything about the tour, but an upscale pizza place called Young Joni was really good when I was there, and I'd definitely recommend it.

If you don't send a helicopter to find your off the grid QB like in that Mission Impossible movie, do you even care?

Sounds like they want Carter to drop to 6.

That Patricia and Quinn, I'm beginning to think they weren't very good at their jobs.

I was hearing (podcast or something) that he's the one that's been resistant to safety. I agree, keeping Slay on just for the benefit of teaching a young corner would have done a lot of good. I think the secondary they put together can still do a lot for his development, but I don't know if it'll be enough to convince them to pick up the 5th year option.

I write a small paper every week on implementation of culture change for organizations, and it's wild to see the Lions of all loving teams hitting the important steps to maximize your chances of it being successful. Jets gotta be the pick with Rodgers. If that deal blows up, Bears it up.

Holmes: "We're putting a team together." Free agency: "You sonofabitch, I'm in."

They should trade for Slay and Diggs too. I'm waiting for them to announce pencil dick has joined the team in some capacity - put him in a time out seat and show him how to properly run a team.

Holmes already said that he needed to put a better QB room together behind Goff, and bringing in Rodgers would make him a man of his word. Plus it would be loving hilarious.

I think he could have done better than a 5th based on upside alone, but probably wanted the matter settled so they could move forward. I don't know if a 5th was worth more than just keeping him on the team this year though.

What do you mean poor Slay? Dude's a top tier corner on a team that made the superbowl, and the last time he had to deal with Sexual Assault Patricia was as a head coach. The guy is now a "senior defensive assistant." Imagine hating your boss, leaving and seeing your former workplace tank, and a couple years later he gets hired at your successful workplace demoted several ranks.

That feels like the starting point of a negotiation number and they would reduce based on Jamo being very apologetic and saying it's wrong, but let's be clear here it's total bullshit, as many have pointed out.

I'm not sold on cancey. From what I understand he had a lot of missed assignments? Not that I watched, just what I heard on a podcast about possible targets.

If it goes 3 qbs in the top 5, Anderson and Carter off the board, I think the Lions go Witherspoon if they can't trade down a few spots.

Yeah I mean I don't mind them taking a RB in the first, but it seems like the RB they took would have still been available later, on top of the fact they seem pretty set at RB. Guess that's my hang up here but all said and done I'll trust Holmes more than my own rear end for sure. 100% would trust myself over, like, the previous past 20 years of the Lions braintrust too.
