Louis Riddick before the draft had TeSlaa as a 2nd round talent Isaac TeSlaa, WR, Arkansas TeSlaa is going to be a problem for opponents as a slot receiver at the next level. His size (6-foot-3, 214 pounds), speed (4.43) and explosive movement traits make him a matchup nightmare in the middle of the field. Despite his bigger frame, he can get off the line with good foot quickness, hits another gear when he gets to the third level and tracks the deep ball well. TeSlaa also shows the body control in the short/intermediate pass game to get separation against man coverage, along with the instincts to uncover when facing zone. He ultimately finished last season with 28 catches for 546 yards and three scores. But with size, speed, hands, after-the-catch upside and the ability to put defenders on the ground as a blocker, the lack of big-time production doesn't phase me. I like his skill set a lot, and I'm watching for TeSlaa to come off the board by the end of Round 2.

the only DTs signed for 2026 are Amil, Williams, and Wingo. I think this pick is going to be much more appreciated 18 months from now.

day 2 mocks: I'd be happy with either PFF: 60. Detroit Lions: EDGE Landon Jackson, Arkansas Jackson is a fundamentally sound player with alluring length and surprising cornering ability for a player of his size. His overall pass-rush win percentage has been low throughout his career, which presents him as a high-floor, versatile defensive end who can be a solid starter for odd or even fronts. CBS: 60. Wyatt Milum OT The Lions select a grinder who knows how to win ugly and can play guard or tackle in the NFL.

PFF; I guess this is a C 28) Detroit Lions: DI Tyleik Williams, Ohio State Pick Grade: Average It was inevitable that the Lions were going defensive line, and they didn’t disappoint with a run-stuffing tackle. Williams’ 88.6 run-defense grade was one of the best of the class, as was his 7.8% run-stop rate. While he doesn’t win as a pass-rusher consistently, he fits the Lions' need for pocket pushers from the interior to let Aidan Hutchinson clean up on the edge. While he has the frame to play 3-technique, he likely fits better as a nose tackle for the Lions.

Martin has a place on this team parking the other guys cars.

putting the ball into the hands of the worst decision maker on the team - what could go wrong?

Rule V update on Liam Hicks: hitting 245 with 1 HR, but allowing 18 steals in 19 attempts don't think they are getting him back from Miami. Nido has surprised, Liranzo and Briceno are rising, but looks like a small error to not protect Hicks (nice return for Kelly, Hicks and Tyler Owens)

none of those guys are important enough or hot enough to demand a bump. Trei Cruz is on his 4th season at Erie; he has 0 HRs in 56 at ABs; not sure why he must go to Toledo. this is all driven by the Clark/Briceno/McGonigle timeline. when they go to Erie (June 1? July 1 for McGonigle?), the other dominos will get moved accordingly

if they ever get to full strength (or almost full strength as every team has injuries) they could be really, really good

Boom. Boss man pre-emptively surrenders to China!

same. you would think he would at least starting jacking up 3s

seems like a very Harris-like win - 7 BBs and 5 Ks, only singles for non-Zach McMvp batters

ugly, physical games benefit the Pistons. if they they hit 30% on threes, it would have been a blowout

correct. he's dead. in 2019, the immigration judge had a hearing and determined Garcia qualified under US law for a hold on any deportation because he faced danger from MS13 - who unsuccessfully recruited him - if he was returned home. Trump sent him to a slave prison controlled by MS13. Of course he's dead. At least I hope he is, because the alternative is even more horrifying.
