  - Correct. I saw a video yesterday of ICE agents who took a guy away - none showed badges, they were not in uniform, one even wore a ski mask. Put him into an unmarked van. � - By Ian April 26, 2025 at 01:10:21 PM

I�m 95% sure the Sanders thing (beyond just his OK talent) is the persona/coddling, etc. But at this point I�m almost wondering if 5% of it is now Deion & his kid *playing it up* to milk it for PR reasons. Like a Colin Kaepernick but without an activist cause or a Tim Tebow without his evangelical Christian following. (m) - By LKLIII April 26, 2025 at 11:51:00 AM
- I think it's getting to the point where he won't get drafted at all. If a team thinks he could be an actual QB1, he would have been drafted already. Nobody is going to put up with all the things if his ceiling is emergency starter level QB2. Even he can be developed into into a legit starter, that's feeling like more of a lottery ticket situation* - By uncwolverine April 26, 2025 at 12:09:42 PM
- I think GM�s are looking at him (on the field only) like a Johnny Manziel. He doesn�t play on schedule. He�s gonna get WR�s blown up and his OL is gonna look bad because he isn�t getting rid of the ball when he�s supposed to.* - By apblue April 26, 2025 at 12:00:07 PM

Who goes first Shedeur Sanders or Kalel Mullings ???* - By Wf April 26, 2025 at 11:33:17 AM
- If Mullings gets the call I'm gonna guess it's...Pittsburgh or NE. If Edward's gets the call it'll be Minnesota (AI below, JJ favor) or Denver. - By WayOfTheRoad April 26, 2025 at 11:46:03 AM
I just googled whether Donovan Edwards was drafted and this is what Google sent me (pic) - By uncwolverine April 26, 2025 at 11:31:52 AM

I like Rich Eisen but at this point I'm starting to think he killed a hooker with Deion or something. There's friendship and there's whatever he is doing. Kiper is just an arrogant ass that can't stand being told he's wrong. Rich is acting like Deion is blackmailing him or something* - By WayOfTheRoad April 26, 2025 at 11:12:12 AM

  - Forgot about him because he's not there today. He was also over-the-top with it. It's so weird when the kid is a 3rd round talent without the baggage* - By WayOfTheRoad April 26, 2025 at 11:21:06 AM

2024 and 2025 Lions drafts open the door for Brad Holmes criticism. I would argue early success has made him too cocky giving up too much for too little. - By plug April 26, 2025 at 10:43:01 AM
- Good post. I understand the value in moving from say 17 to 14 if you're pretty certain that someone at 15 or 16 wants the same guy. But moving from 60 to 57 is interesting. Do they really know that the teams picking 58 or 59 were going to take the guy they want? Also, if they truly believe that, how would they know? Maybe the player's agent let it leak to the Lions? - By uncwolverine April 26, 2025 at 11:06:01 AM
- If they had won the Super Bowl instead of the Eagles none of this matters* - By detroitbry April 26, 2025 at 10:50:44 AM
  - sure it does. None of these picks were intended to help win the 2024/5 Super Bowl. Maybe Arnold. The rest are about sustaining, replacing, and in some instances hopefully upgrading a clear contender. The entire interior OL is old or left for instance. * - By plug April 26, 2025 at 10:53:00 AM
- my default assumption is trading down better than trading up - By d April 26, 2025 at 10:46:42 AM
  - That's true to build up additional draft capital. Rosters aren't big enough to draft 8 rookies and keep them all though, so at some point you need to use that capital to move up to take somebody you like, even if they end up being a bust.* - By Dizzo April 26, 2025 at 11:20:06 AM
  - why? Other than maybe modest salary cap issues, wouldnt signing free agents be as good as most mid/late draft picks?* - By onb April 26, 2025 at 10:54:06 AM
    - and where does the cap space to sign FAs come from? Having a bunch of starters on cheap rookie contracts. That�s the formula for success in the NFL, along with having a good QB of course. * - By plug April 26, 2025 at 10:57:02 AM
  - I have always agreed with this theory, but I think it's a strategy that the Lions don't need right now * - By Spirit April 26, 2025 at 10:48:20 AM
    - Agree but the Teslaa trade still seems pretty bad on paper. But who knows, we'll see.* - By LewisBullox April 26, 2025 at 10:51:59 AM
      - gave up way too much per trade value charts, regardless of who he Lions took. * - By plug April 26, 2025 at 10:55:06 AM
        Jahmir Gibbs was a horrible �value� according to all those charts. So was LaPorta if I recall correctly. - By WestSideBlue April 26, 2025 at 11:03:12 AM
        You're referring to player evaluations. There are charts that define a value depending on pick # and year. Those are 2 completely different things* - By uncwolverine April 26, 2025 at 11:21:08 AM
        As plug just said, that's not the criticism here, Gibbs wasn't a trade as far as I remember. Actually, Teslaa seems like an intriguing prospect* - By LewisBullox April 26, 2025 at 11:12:04 AM
        Lions traded down from 6th to 12th picking up the 34th in return. That trade down landed Gibbs and LaPorta. Probably the best trade in franchise history. * - By plug April 26, 2025 at 11:24:38 AM
        Ah yeah now I remember. Thx* - By LewisBullox April 26, 2025 at 11:25:55 AM
        this is my main point, if player evals is your thing (which appears to be true for Holmes/Campbell) dont just give away 3rd and 4th rounders like candy. I�m not up in arms, but Holmes needs some serious hits to keep the momentum going. * - By plug April 26, 2025 at 11:29:28 AM
        I'm with you. Huge difference between a 3rd rd pick and a 6th* - By LewisBullox April 26, 2025 at 11:33:06 AM
        Apples and oranges. The charts have nothing to do with player evals. They�re simply rating the value of future selections against other future selections. Going way outside the value charts over time is a drain on draft capital. * - By plug April 26, 2025 at 11:06:31 AM
- In defense I'll just say this, the Lions roster is really strong. Quality matters more than quantity. Fewer better players is probably more important than a higher volume of projects * - By Spirit April 26, 2025 at 10:46:05 AM
  - I�d call Manu, Vaki, and TeSlaa (to a degree) projects. Mixed bag of inexperienced and no clear position. Is TeSlaa really a slot option? * - By plug April 26, 2025 at 10:50:50 AM

  - Yep. Nobody really cares especially our elected officials who actually say don�t fight these fights* - By Rich April 26, 2025 at 11:25:59 AM
  - agreed, I'll also point out that the fact that many of our elected officials aren't willing to go all out and use the little power they have to hinder this monstrous behavior is infuriating. Cheers to Ian and others leading the fight* - By arctic44 April 26, 2025 at 10:47:56 AM

One concern I haven't heard talked about a lot with Sanders is that it's not just that his dad is Deon, it's that his Dad has basically been his only coach leading one to wonder if he is coachable in the NFL. With his talent, playing FCS ball and following his dad around does not speak well.* - By asquared April 26, 2025 at 09:35:20 AM
- I think there's something to this. The Giants spent a lot of time with Shedeur. Here's a story about how that went (paste) - By uncwolverine April 26, 2025 at 10:15:35 AM

  - your last sentence is likely the big problem - By plug April 26, 2025 at 10:14:21 AM
- His dad fired his first OC at Colorado because Shedeur didn�t like him. Lewis was a very good OC, got a nice HC gig.* - By MasterBates April 26, 2025 at 09:55:59 AM
  - Yeah, I thought that OC was doing great work given the total lack of an offensive line.* - By Bluebuck April 26, 2025 at 10:03:51 AM
- Agree. I have thought this is probably the only issue* - By Rich April 26, 2025 at 09:53:23 AM
