It’s a score he came up with where he tries to determine who is the most Dan Campbell type player. I believe Ratledge had the highest grit score last year.
I never said I liked or disliked the pick. I pointed out that the Lions don’t have the depth at receiver where they can’t take a receiver.
One that immediately comes to mind is Hendon Hooker. That was back when y’all still wouldn’t listen to me about Goff. Drafting QBs in the mid round when you have an entrenched started is the right move since the Eagles did it. Trinity Benson was another one I didn’t like. I also didn’t think he got good value for Hockenson.
After St Brown, Williams and Teslaa, the depth is up in the air. You have Dortch on a one year contract and Lovett. It's not like they can't use another receiver.
LMAO Hutchinson led the NFL in pressures.
The right result was to keep Sweat who was better than Greenard last year, cost less, and didn't cost draft picks.
But trading for an injured pass rusher and giving him a large contract is. McNeil was playing at a Pro Bowl level and was healthy. This is just hindsight bull****. McNeil will also be healthy this year and there's no reason he can't return to form.
Lions should have let McNeil and Hutchinson walk and trade St Brown so they could trade draft picks and give McNeil's money to an injured pass rusher. Make it happen Holmes.
Then they could have traded for an injured pass rusher and give him a larger contract than the better pass rusher they let walk because they make it happen.
They extended McNeil halfway through the last year of his contract when he was having a Pro Bowl season. GTFO with that.
The Eagles could have just re-signed Sweat for less money than Greenard who was better than Greenard and didn't cost multiple draft picks. The Eagles were also just as quiet as the Lions in free agency. AJ Brown is also good as gone so that frees up cap space.
Because the Eagles let Josh Sweat, Jaelen Phillips and Milton Williams walk and don't have one of the highest paid players in the league already on the defensive line.
