1984Echoes

Exactly.

If Holmes has the right ammunition... I could see him drafting LT in the 1st and then trading #50 (bottom of 2nd) plus other picks to go up and get Zion Young near the top of the 1st. Fits Lions schematically and personality wise (but so does Faulk...) and if he were to sell out to fill these two positions... A 1st round LT like Lomu or Freeling plus an aggressive move up to land Zion Young for DE makes the most sense... IMO. OR.... Can he land Faulk and then move up to still catch Lomu or Freeling or Iheanachor...? It seems to me to be easier the other way around... Although I may be wrong...

And at 365 #'s plus... could easily fall into the "having a problem controlling his weight" habit. Hard pass. They also talked with Iheanachor quite a bit I thought. More of a personality fit with the Lions and a guy they could trade down in the 1st and still get... IMO. Right Tackle only though... Lomu, Freeling and Mauigoa are the Left Tackles they might target (requiring different 1st round positioning for each...). If I had to guess...

MAGA is too ****ing braindead, even right now, to believe this is a **** show. Sad.

I was going to like this until I read the last sentence. Too much and off-base IMO... especially compared to the first part. But I do love that first part (sorry I grammared...). Two Thumbs up on that.

Alarmist nonsense that is just way too far over the top. Sort of like Chicken Little worrying about the sky falling...

In other words... Trump is full of ****. In other words, Trump is full of ****. How come every time Trump opens his mouth... Nothing but **** comes out? Does he have two assholes instead of one asshole and a mouth? (Rhetorical question)

These will tell us whether the Wings can get back on track and still have a chance at the playoffs... Or, whether they are instead... Cooked.

Those are YOUR words, not mine.

Isn't that spilt milk?

They'll get those fans back if they keep winning games. I'm sure their attendance has been way up there this season. But it gets tiresome watching their games/ standing that they blow each and every single March. It's just... Too... Tiresome. (and boring too).

I think Trump SHOULD capture Kharg Island. If he wants to hold a "trump card" in negotiations with Iran... That is THE trump card to hold...

Yeah... I'm not going to... I can stay in "wait-n-see" mode for a while longer though... Maybe JB can "coach them up" but... We'll see. Not holding my breath but... it would be nice... PS: Langdon, find a couple more guys in this draft please... Even UDFA's... If for nothing else... than... competition.

Between Sasser, Lanier and Jenkins... I'd like to see at least two of these guys turn into something. True 3&D players? Ball-handlers? Playmakers? Good enough "D"? I don't know. But keep working on your game's guys. The Pistons sure could use two of them really developing...

Just my 2 cents...

PS: A partial list of still available free agents that Brett Whiteside (at Pride of Detroit) thinks are perfect (bargain) fits for the Lions (I'm listing the ones (out of 9) that I most agree with) Detroit Lions 2026 free agency targets: 9 overlooked players to boost the roster: (He listed Roger McCreary... we just signed him). Outside CB: Rasul Douglas. 6' 2" and physical man corner. Yep. Free Safety: Andre Cisco. "Kerby Joseph-lite". Yep. DT: Sebastian Joseph-Day: High-level run-stuffer with a little bit of pass-rush juice that can absorb 500 DT snaps or so for the year... Yep. DE: Listed several. But I like Cam Jordan the best. Can be the starter until Kelvin Faulk or Zion Young can get up to speed. Then can be the depth/ rotational DE that this roster needs. If it's Faulk that's drafted... I would also (at least I hope Holmes would...) look for a 4th/5th/6th round "speed-rusher" type. He's found them before. Between Hutch, Cam Jordan, Faulk or Zion, Hassanein and a speed rusher.... I would hope it's enough depth (hoping for health this year... yeesh!!!) to get us through the season.

Also... McCreary is 100% a nickel...

Mize COMPLETELY ineffective at 6 hits 6 runs and 4 walks in a total of 3 innings.

Looks like it... yeah, Fanduel Pistons feed...

Now glad I have Prime... They're showing SEVERAL Pistons (not all...) games on Prime.

That does not make you NOT an atrocious, grotesque bigot.

I think so too... But I'm interested in keeping all options open just in case Holmes/DC "discover" a couple different guys for the outside. Just thinking "outside" the box for a minute...

Shift Reed to nickel and have Itzien play SS. No guarantees but...

Too much WHINGING right now. It's so annoying. I would call it "Premature Ejaculation". And the WHINGING over every single free agent that we did NOT sign... "Penus Envy." OVERWROUGHT Penus Envy. It's ONLY the 4th freaking day of free agency. I agree with you 100%. Holmes is of course being slow, methodical, budget-conscious, and selecting ONLY those guys that fit the Lions personality AND aren't outrageously over-priced. We still have: A) The REST of this Free Agency. B) The Draft. C) The SECOND wave of free agency in which a ton of expensive veterans will be dropped by teams AFTER the draft. Just too damn much WHINGING going on right now... YeeGADS!!! (changing the spelling allows my intentions to be posted even if misspelled...)

A good backup for LaPorta and may get some play for the Lions with Petzing. Hoping for 2023-24 production reprisal...
