We were trend setters in drafting extra large, oversized lineman.

Remember Aaron Gibson?

Giants have won the first round IMO. Getting arguably the best DE and the best Tackle prospect is going to be hard to beat.

Where does Malik WIllis go? I had the Saints trading up for him at some point.

Do we still use both the Okwara brothers off the edge as pass rushers now that we added Hutch? Does their role change at all?

Really smart pick by The Giants.

Jets should take Thibs here.

They have an ex-Patriots front office as their GM too. Taking Stingley over Sauce is a mistake too.

LOL at the Texans taking Stingly Jr.

#32, #34, #66 and next years Lions first should get it done haha.

T&P should be happy too.

Hutch it is! Really, really like the pick. Now where does Thibs go?

Here we go!!!

It's Walker to the Jags. I think we take Hutch, but we'll see.

If anyone cares to watch, 97.1 is doing a watch along . . . https://www.twitch.tv/971theticket

I have a lot of trust in Brad Holmes and think he's building a team the right way. I don't think we're ruining any careers with this regime, at least not yet. I feel as positive as I've ever felt as a Lions fan going into a draft and am incredibly excited to see what we do throughout this draft.

I love most of what Brad Holmes has done thus far. I have much more confidence and trust in him and his front office staff (Agnew, Dorsey, Newmark, Scouting) than I've ever had in any Lions regime. I had zero confidence in Millen, zero in Mayhew, and what little confidence I had in Quinn eroded quickly in year 2. I really feel like this regime has a solid plan in place (not just trying to be New England Jr.) and is hell bent on executing their plan. I will be elated if we get either Hutch or Thibs. Those have been my guys from the start and while I've had Walker and Willis in at various points, I've maintained that I'd be happy with either Hutch or Thibs. In Brad Holmes I trust.

Is that the watch party for season ticket holders? If so, bless you for buying Lions seasons tickets.

Whose your "if the Lions draft this guy in the first or second round" I will be upset and/or disappointed? For me it's Kyle Hamilton. While I won't get mad about it because I still trust Brad Holmes and I'm tired of being an angry, negative fan all the time, Hamilton would be pretty deflating. Knowing they could have taken one of Hutch/Thibs/Walker and they took a slower-than-average Safety instead would really throw cold water on my enjoyment of the draft.

I did an updated full round mock because draft week is the most fun you can have as a Lions fan. It's all down hill from here, but let's hope Holmes changes that for once. I stuck with Hutch and Cine for the Lions.

I think there is almost zero change Willis falls to 32. I think there is less than a 50% chance he falls out of the Top 10.

So in other words, he doesn't know and possibly even the Jags don't know what they're doing.

https://www.nfl.com/news/2021-nfl-rookie-grades-ranking-the-classes-1-to-32 For what it's worth, NFL.com graded us as having the 4th best draft overall last year, one year into it.

I'd take McBride, Jeremy Ruckart from Ohio, or the kid out of San Diego State Daniel Ballinger. Those are the guys we should look at for 3rd/4th Rd TE options.

Being close by doesn't make you aware of who a player is. Charles Rogers begged the Lions not to draft him and had all types of character red flags and Millen still took him. Now, I'm not trying to suggest Holmes is on the same incompetent plane as Millen was, just that you can't assume because a player plays close by means the organization has done their due diligence on a guy. Matt Millen drafting Charles Rogers is proof of that. Luckily for us, it sounds like this Lions front office was well represented at Michigan's Pro Day with Holmes and others in attendance.
