The Patriots have 4.106, 5.143, and 5.145. He may go to them there. The Cowboys have 5.148. That is also possible. Rams at 4.126 as well. I don't think he has a floor at this point though. He may well go undrafted. Probably an outside shot the Steelers still take him, but it seems like they're destined for Aaron Rodgers, so they may ask for Rodgers' blessing before taking Shedeur. Raiders maybe, but they had three chances in the 3rd round. Vikings and Bucs make the list of possibilities, but further down. Chargers might be a dark horse because you can never predict Jim Harbaugh's next move.

I think it's both. The talent removed him from 1st round consideration. The intangibles and obnoxious father are getting him removed from draft boards altogether.

I went to bed last night after the pick. I'm a little surprised to see the anxiety in the thread. Holmes has a plan, and it's working much better than the Yzerplan. The vast majority of teams would kill to have a GM like Holmes. He set sky high expectations in 2021 with literally one of the best draft classes in NFL history with Sewell/Alim/ASB. Not every class with be that. He won't hit on every single pick of every single draft. It doesn't mean that because he drafted Brodric Martin in the 3rd round a few years ago, which looks to be possibly the biggest bust to date, we should start panicking when he trades up in the 3rd round for an athletic WR that wasn't really on our radar.

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.

I do think there is a chance Jamo can play himself into being worth a 1st this year. He needs to distance himself more from off-the-field nonsense and part of that just comes with time.

"You know what's better than overpaying for two receivers??"

I watched the 4th quarter and this was my takeaway. There was no flow whatsoever. I’m not basketball savvy enough to really know what should or shouldn’t have been called, but a lot of it felt soft, and the whining anytime an official had the gall to make a call against them drove me crazy. Along with a guy like Brunson just playing for the foul. I don’t get it.

First game I’ve gotten to watch of the season. Feels like they’ve gotten a lot of pitches to hit but haven’t been able to do much with them. (Tune in next time for more riveting analysis from MichiganCardinal)

It would be silly for them to trade him after the draft and go into the season relying on a rookie to be a key contributor on offense. They should compete for a Super Bowl this year, and that move would make them worse not better. I'd rather take a 3rd round pick and trade him in March 2026 than a 2nd round pick and trade him in May 2025.

If they select a WR in the first two rounds, I expect Jamo to be traded next year, after they pickup his 5th year option. Give the rookie a year to develop as the WR3 or WR4while riding out Jamo’s rookie deal. Jamo should net a 2nd round pick. Maybe even a late 1.

Embarrassing 40 minutes from an embarrassing team to cap an embarrassing season.
