Riley Greene is allergic to taking a pitch. I think Baez may be more selective right now.

Physical attributes are elite. if the hands are there and he becomes a good route runner there's a lot of potential in that player. With that said I hate the value of the pick even if I do consider it a need. Felt like there were a decent amount of good EDGE pieces and without a pick until the 6th round I'd find it hard to believe any of them slip.

A lot of good players at needs left that I could see them going multiple ways. I think a starting OG could fall. Looking at Rathledge, Mbow or Milum. I think both OSU DEs could also be an option. The Lions prioritize DE that can stop the run first and both do that well. Lastly of Higgins fell to us I could see them making true to their word that they’d like to get younger and cheaper at WR. The lions truly are such a wildcard team that’s hard to predict this year.

Its not a bad pick and there was a run of potential Lions fits in the teens to early twenties that I think might have had them scrambling a little bit. Lions like stopping the run first and this pick helps them do that.

Id be happy but surprised as hes a zone corner and we are an heavy man team.

I dont think the Lions would take either unless there was extensive homework done. Were they brought in for a top 30 visit?

I don't think the Draft is falling to bad for what the Lions need so I think there still could be a difference maker in a position of need.

I think they are going to do this a lot throughout the year to lessen the innings on his arm with it being such a long season compared to what he’s used to.

Problem is if he plays with us and has a great year which is what I expect to happen at best he only has one year left with the 5th year option being picked up next month. Then with 2 very good years in a row he is looking at a huge payday that the new team would need to be willing to pay to make any trade worthwhile for them. Really this offseason is his highest value imo which is why I don’t think he will be traded and we will pick up the option. Then let him walk in 2 years and hope to have a cheaper replacement by then.

From what I have read Jamo is not worth a 1st rounder and I would agree with that. I’d guess package with our first he might move you into the top half. Most likely you’re looking at a late 2nd or 3rd rounder at best.

I would rather they not trade him. However, if they get one of the top WR in the draft this year then I could see the advantage of trading away someone you don’t plan on resigning. Pick up a second or third/plus this year to still take advantage of the decent depth of DE and OG to fill out the roster. This would allow them to save some cap money to extend the defensive players that are going to start getting expensive quick. Again it’s not what I would do as it seems little bit to risky to take away from a strength of this roster for an unknown and there will be other opportunities to get cheaper or replace players.

I feel like there should be an electronic strike zone but the ump still calls the result. Then to keep the realism of having to find a strike zone, have a set of 5-10 different strike patterns that’s the pitchers and batters have to work at finding throughout the game. 1 randomized pattern per game working off the assumption that each umpire typically has a slight variation to what a strike is for them. I like that not all strike zones are the same and there’s human elements to that but I don’t like strike zones seemingly changing throughout the game.

Brewers have done a nice job against him and he hasn't been throwing competitive pictures outside of the zone. Same issue that Jobe has been having with allowing hitters to see to many pitches.

I’m more talking about his inability to put hitters away after getting ahead of the count his first full year. I think that is some of Jobes problem right now.

Go look at Verlander’s first year. That’s where I see Jobe at with struggling to put people away with 2 strikes and allowing hitters back in the count. Also Skubals first year where he gave up a lot of home runs. Jobe is going to struggle from time to time but he absolutely needs to be in the major leagues learning. With smaller amount of minor league teams the gap between mlb and aaa has never been bigger and his stuff is to good there.

Skubal struggled with the long ball his first year starting and also Verlander struggled missing bats and putting people away his first year. This start to Jobe’s career is expected. The raw stuff is amazing but he needs to learn how to pitch.

Maybe Bonds during his HR run?

Honestly this Tork is very playable if he hits with power. I’ll take low BA with high walks and plus power out of him.

It seems to be the RG next to Sewell tends to have a good year. So I’d put whoever they deem weakest in that spot.

Agreed for this season but I’m a little bit more nervous about 26/27. A lot with obviously depend on how Williams and McCarthy develop. I don’t love Williams but am a big fan of McCarthy specifically from a mental makeup and the coaching staff that the Vikings have. Good teams with rookie QB contracts can be tough. With that said I absolutely believe we have the right coach/gm/ownership makeup to maintain success.

This division is going to be very tough I think for the next few years. I doubt any team will be able to run away with it. I’m actually a little bit nervous about how long we will be able to maintain one of the top 2 spots. Probably need to find a development QB other then Hooker that will be cheap to help us continue to retain our stars and get cheaper at the QB position for after Goff in a couple years. Thinking not this year but one of the next couple drafts.

If I looked correctly only 3 penalties is the second half of the season. He made big strides at being less grabby. I think he’s going to develop into a very good CB2 this year and potentially CB1 for next year. Robertson goes back to slot and backup outside corner. Rakestraw is a backup at both roles with the plan to take over as primary slot in 26.

Sure but we aren’t getting 1/1 value out of him and likely never will. That doesn’t mean we should get rid of a good cheaper 4/5 because he didn’t reach his ceiling.

I’m in the camp that probably not this year but in 26 or 27 offseason we should be in the draft market for another QB project.

For me he’s worth at best a 5th round pick and probably not even that. Trading him would only happen because he wants out and a chance to start while he’s young enough to have one and the team is doing his career a favor.
