sagnam Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Tavai probably had to look himself up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was surprised. Not saying it’s a reach, just saying that’s not something that commonly happens. An added element is that he was the second to last regular selection of the second day, and 6th or 7th to last selection overall on the second day. Regardless of where you think you're going to go, when pick #95 comes and goes, and you still haven't been selected, it was probably fair for him to expect at that point that it was more likely he goes in the four rounds happening Saturday than in the next five or so picks happening Friday. I also don't think the comment really helps anyone, and he probably shouldn't have made it. It's just going to be used against him and the regime if he doesn't come out of the gate like a 3rd round pick, so why say it? Give a nondescript nothing-burger of an answer like you're taught and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TP_Fan Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 It’s also interesting that as more and more news leaks the better it looks for the Lions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hongbit Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 If you have a free 90 minutes, the latest Inside The Den on YouTube is out and it’s unreal. Amazing insight on the picks and how the team viewed them. Great work from the Lions media team. Spoiler: They viewed this as a weak draft. They only had 14 players with first round grades and they ended up with 4 of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
