TeSlaa is a really intriguing prospect. Athletic freak with the perfect body type to be a Mike Evans type X Receiver, but Arkansas underutilized him, and played him as a slot receiver. Why? It's not as if he did poorly in his opportunities either. He has zero career drops. I do think that between the trade and taking him at #70, they likely expect production this year. Not necessarily, but he might challenge Tim Patrick for WR3 out of camp.

This dude is Frank Ragnow reincarnated.

My Lions Big Board WR: Eric Ayomanor, Stanford; Mike Green, Marshall; Edge: Jack Sawyer, Ohio State; Landon Jackson, Arkansas; Nic Scourton, Texas A&M OL: Marcus Mbow, Purdue DB: Xavier Watts, Notre Dame; Trey Amos, Ole Miss

The Cowboys pick is in and NFL Network cuts to commercial?! That was an old Lions move they loved to pull. We would always be the first footnote pick of the draft. "While you were away the Lions selected..."

At this point, his dad is costing him. Shedeur won't be starting in 2025 at this point. Who wants a distraction at the backup QB position?

Tyler Shough over Shedeur. *chef's kiss

They're having Terrion Arnold announce the Lions picks today. Should have been Kerby Joseph. FTP.

I hope Holmes thought about this. That's part of his job after all. It's going to suck if we vacate draft picks for something stupid like not checking with Dallas before making our selection.

I didn't do nearly the kind of research I did in the last few years, but I'm not pressed by the pick (as the kids would say). The upset crowd comes from him being selected at #28 with a 2nd round grade? I mean... okay? Does that mean that if the Lions had selected him at pick #35-40, a pick they don't have, it would have been fine? It takes two to tango with trading, and there really wasn't a lot on the board worth jumping Washington, Buffalo, KC, and Philadelphia for. It's like the Jack Campbell pick - just because you think he would be there 10-15 picks later doesn't mean he would actually be there. You like him, he's there for the taking, don't overthink it. I'm guessing he didn't have a 1st round grade from Holmes either, but you can't expect Holmes to jump 10 spots every draft to get the last guy who's falling that meets that criteria. Williams was the best player on their board, and if he is in fact an Alim McNeill who is getting a nine-figure extension in a couple years, he will be well worth the 28th pick.

I hope the Packers trade out of the first round. FTP.

Someone wanted the Chargers pick bad enough to make them take all ten minutes. Will Johnson still on the board.

Time to move up for Sheduer? Shock the world. /s

FWIW, this is Charlie Campbell’s pick for the Lions. He’s been one of the top analysts the last three years and particularly is in touch with the Lions.

Credit where it's due, Justin Rogers literally predicted a 4-year / $86MM deal for Kerby in March. I feel like that's cheap for the All Pro caliber player he's been, even though it makes him the highest paid player at the position.
