Isn't Hock a top 3 TE in the league?

I just wanted to start a poll to see what grade everyone would give the Lions. Also to move on to next year as well versus all the threads talking about just this years haul. I think (and hope) the Lions are done "building the trenches" after this year. Next year, they can focus on getting one of the best QB's in the draft in the first round, then add a Linebacker next and we should be in great shape. From there add another WR and then more depth as needed. But if we get lets say Bryce Young (costing us both our first rounders next year to go up and get him), and a good Linebacker round 2 (or even trade into round 1 mortgaging a lot to go get it), we should be in good shape. I hope this this the last year of the full "rebuild". I think this team will win around 6-8 games next year. What are your thoughts moving forward and how do you grade the draft in terms of setting the team up next year and beyond?

Will do. Thanks.

This is exactly what I was talking about! Where we could see the links all together on the same page. If we could re-do this, I'd definitely upvote that. Now also knowing about those Motown links for each team, I'll be sure to check that out. But the splash page that Motown Bombers posted was exactly what I meant where it pulled feeds from all over. Was very convenient to scan all sports on one page very quickly and choose which article to read. Thanks MotownBomber for finding that. And thanks MotownWebGuy for all you do. This is an amazing site for sure!

Hello. One of the things I loved about the old website was the feed page for all of the different sports. Is that possible/in the plans for the future? I was just curious.

BA Prospect Handbook 2021 said that he's gonna need more time. I think he's still got 2-3 years left because of his defensive prowless. I'm also curious what the new minor league staff does with him.

Great deal for the twins I think..... mtutiger hit it right on the spot. Worse case, they trade him and get 2 blue chip prospects and he becomes a free agent and signs a 8 year deal or something crazy next year.... Good deal for them.

That one is very impressive! I'm very jealous of your collection.

I wanted a guy who was so good at recruiting, he could T-bag Saban. Not a guy that just lays down an waits to be T-bagged by every coach in Division 1. Oi vey. I hope this article is wrong.

I think Weis will get the job. But I want O'Brien from Alabama. But this is gonna be Weis's job after the way the offense was last year. This is a plug an play with no other real adjustments needed. Makes too much sense.

Here's hoping JJ McCarthy can do good things next year!

Would you be ok giving it to Clink then going out and Hiring an ACE recruiter? I think I'd be more than ok with that myself.

Oi vey. I just want them to recruit better. Harbaugh better go ballz deep this year on recruiting....... all I'm saying.

I keep getting an error that the certificate for this page is expired? I have to click "advanced" when the screen pops up, then click the link for every single page. How do I fix that? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

As long as he's a good recruiter, I'll be happy. I think U of M has had a lot of great coaches recently. But when you are constantly throwing 4 stars up against stacked 5 star teams, you can't overcome that. We need more *elite* talent. So I really hope Harbaugh goes after extremely good recruiters just like Lincoln Riley did at USC. USC will be a top 5 team within 2 years and will be a constant CFB playoff team from there on out.... That's what we need to do/be..... All starts with recruitment.

How good of a recruiter is Rhule? Would he be an upgrade over Harbaugh?

If you mean Jaylen Sneed, he's a LB. But still, it does list Elston as one of his main recruiters. He also goes to school 5 miles from where I'm at as I'm also on Hilton Head Island. I should go see this kid..... https://247sports.com/college/notre-dame/Season/2022-Football/Commits/

Whoever they get, I'd rather have a better recruiter. They need to get more 5 stars on Defense to keep up with the more elite programs......

I know Luke Fickell isn't coming. I guess Matt Campbell might be the best recruiter of the bunch so that's probably who I'd go with based solely on that. Thoughts?

Assuming Tork and Greene are who we hope for, if you take out Baez, who out of the other 6 batters are 1st divison regulars? *cough* no one. We will have one of the worst lineups in MLB next year......

Meh, sorry. I'm definitely disagreeing with this.... I'd rather have Correa over Baez any day of the week.... (assuming the contract length could be the same). The Tigers have always gone after All or nothing hitters.... I'm too lazy to look it up but I bet over the last 30 years, the Tigers are one of the top 3 teams in strikeouts if not the top team. Baez fits the tigers mold PERFECTLY. Dude will lead the league in K's, hitting .280 with a .310 OBP.... Perfect Tiger..... Yes he might hit 30 Homeruns. But I'd rather have a good defensive shortstop hitting ..280/.360 with 25 HR's instead..... Baez Career Line: .264/.307/.477/.783 (OPS) - 953 Strikeouts Correa Career Line: .277/.356/.481/.837 (OPS) - 660 Strikeouts Give me Correa please.

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/12/padres-notes-payroll-campusano-prospects.html - WHY have the Tigers not said yes to anything they ask. Hosmer and Campusano.... yessir. What is Al waiting for....?

Computer version. I'm flying up to Michigan from SC in February for my draft. hah we really are nerds.
