\u201cI\u2019m not saying it\u2019s necessarily going to be the best draft class, but favorite from the standpoint of\u2014there was nothing cute that happened, it was back to business as usual. We\u2019re going after dawgs. There needed to be a reset in the identity. I think they had kinda gotten away from that toughness, some of that physicality. Every single player they drafted is an absolute physical dawg. I love the fact that they reinvested into the trenches so heavily. I love the fact that even\u2014and we\u2019ll talk about it\u2014Jimmy Rolder he has that dawg in him.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd the value, too. I had Derrick Moore as the fourth best true pass rusher in the draft class. So to get him in the second round, I thought was great value. I preferred Monroe Freeling at the time because of the upside, but I love Blake Miller also and I see the identity pull and what they\u2019re trying to do: reset that identity on the offensive line. So there\u2019s so many things I like about this class.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cI\u2019m not saying it\u2019s necessarily going to be the best draft class, but favorite from the standpoint of\u2014there…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":839107,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2026],"tags":[449,448,1262,6386,7],"class_list":{"0":"post-880523","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-detroit-lions-analysis","9":"tag-detroit-lions-draft","10":"tag-detroit-lions-opinion","11":"tag-detroit-lions-videos","12":"tag-football"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116505489163086545","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/880523","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=880523"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/880523\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/839107"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=880523"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=880523"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=880523"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
