  1. If we trade Monty we're one injury away from having – "no running game" – and that would be a total disaster for us given Goff isn't a mobile QB. Finding an OC who can use both guys is a lot safer option.

  2. For underrated it was Rock Ya-Sin and Jack Campbell.
    Jack aint underrated by people anymore though (named All-Pro '25). Lol.

    So far, for my overrated, it's McNeil, he is overpaid (5th highest for DTs).
    He's getting paid to up Pro Bowl statistics and he was never that in my opinion.
    Gave him the big bag too soon.
    Hope that all changes.

  3. Mike, not exactly sure how you think that us taking a cornerback at any point is an odd or crazy Draft pick…..

    We don't know how T.A.'s going to be coming off of his shoulder surgery.
    His play was improving, but overall we're not sure if he's a CB or Safety.
    Ennis Brakestraw Jr. was 2nd-round pick 2 Seasons ago? He cannot stay healthy.
    DJ Reed is looking like it could end going either way.
    Who's left after that? Point is we have no clear CB1 even… let alone a shoe-in for Slot corner if Amik leaves.
    At a minimum we ought to consider drafting Keionte Scott for Slot CB if we've got extra picks and he's there in the 4th round.

    I definitely do not agree with some of your takes, bro.
    You have some good shows overall.. but some of the things that you say is probably why I haven't subscribed to this channel yet.

    P.s. You must think that "we're good" if top guys aren't there at OT and we got the first or second best available at #17 for CB or Safety staring at us in the face.
    "Don't take that a Corner – we're good!"

  4. What Indiana is doing at the college level right now is crazy.

    Oregon had more than 50 4- and 5-star recruits on its roster. Alabama had more than 40.

    Indiana has three. And they’re not just beating the teams with superior talent, they’re obliterating them.

    I heard a comment on Cignetti's philosophy with recruiting and transfers is he focuses on production, not potential. Maybe we should look into that as well when it comes to drafting and free agents. I have a feeling everyone will very soon.

  5. I just did a mock draft and when my pick came up the first thing that popped up was a trade from new England that included Carlton Davis 😂 no thank you

  6. If stupid Lions where smart, they would of put in All there High Potential (healthy) Back-Ups, and we be looking at a high 1st Round Draft pic.

  7. Probably no need to trade up in the first round UNLESS they have addressed LT in the first round and are trading up to grab one of the top 3 Edge Rushers. Otherwise stay there and grab the best LT. And if they are not getting a LT in FA, they stay at 17th, and all of the top 3-4 OTs are gone….I wouldn't be sad if they took a Mansoor Delane CB type or a Sonny Styles LB or heck even an OG like Olaivavega Ioane. There are a few OTs in the second round that could be had otherwise. The mocks are fun and so many things can be flipped around as far as positions…However, none of it matters really until the FA period comes and goes.

  8. You need balance and depth and a breather at running back stop talking about getting rid of David Montgomery. We need OC that can utilize both their talents David Montgomery and Gibbs. The Lions are about to make the same mistake they did with Barry Sanders burn Gibbs out when you have Montgomery for relief.
