wait 6th and 7th rounders were guarenteed spots before? I think most were luckly to make the practice squad if not cut. 

 

And the NIL issue you propose would be nuterlized after a year. And its been in place for 3. 

On the Lions they have been for the last few years. Guys like Jermar Jefferson, Chase Lucas, and Antoine Green had a much easier spot to making the team than whoever they pick in the 7th round this season.

I don't have the data to back it up (if it exists I'd be interested), but I don't think NIL was widespread the moment it was authorized. First round guys that made a ton of money from NIL (and in the NFL) were the first to get the money when it became a thing. I think it's taken a little while for a lot of schools to trickle that down to the secondary guys.

I have no problem trading up with a third to get their man even if they "lost" the trade by the standard charts.

The thing we have to keep in mind is that we had a surplus of draft picks the previous couple years including 6 in the first 3 rounds last year, all of whom will be on the team so eventually you have to start consolidating picks. There isn't unlimited roster spots. 

We're at the point where the roster spots we have available need to be used on high end talent not your standard mid to late round draft pick so if you have to "overpay" to get that high end talent so be it.

This.  We’re just not used to this as Lions fans.

Analysis

Draft Projection

Round 1

NFL Comparison

Marshon Lattimore

Overview

Twitchy man-cover corner with outstanding athletic ability and the skill set to bring in ball production at the professional level. Arnold possesses average size but plays with a desired level of aggression and competitiveness in both phases of his job. He’s fast and agile to match up against a variety of receiver flavors on the outside or in the slot. Arnold could squeeze routes tighter from off coverages and limit the yards after catch with a slightly different approach. His closing burst allows him to meet throws at the catch point with a natural feel for playing angles and attacking the receiver’s hands. Arnold will make mistakes with positioning and lose focus at times, but the athletic traits and nose for the ball create quality upside for him to be positioned as a CB1 within a couple of years.

Thank

Park at Wayne State and the garage off Cass and then take the Qline down Woodward. It's only $10 at Wayne State and the garage is open until midnight. I did it yesterday and today. 

I parked at Structure 6 off Cass in the link below. I'm a Wayne State alum but you don't need to be to park there.

Is Al Bundy still on the board for today? I didn't see his name called yesterday. I know we don't really need a RB, but 4 touchdowns in a single game is pretty darn impressive.

This guy?

I'm surprised nobody else caught that reference. I don't follow many college players, just the local ones.

Always park there for Pistons games.

everybody is guessing; no one knows; right now, BH does not even know

 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

I'd be elated if they could find a way to trade back and still get a player like Cooper Beebe at the interior OL.

[MichiganCardinal]

Campus Martius hit capacity *again*

I would like a receiver. I kind of like Keon Coleman. He reminds me of Golladay, the good Golladay.

Receiver, edge rusher and OL.

I bet Buffalo gets him here. 

[Motown Bombers]

Well ****. 

[RandyMarsh]

Damn I'm late to the party on this but just realized that we indeed must have traded our Vikings 2nd for Carlton Davis and not our own. I seem to recall at the time of the trade there were conflicting reports but I was of the understanding that it was our own that we traded but I guess not. 

 

[RandyMarsh]

Darrell Greene could probably still outrun half the players in the league today.

The Lions traded their own 3rd for Davis. They traded Minnesota's 3rd for Arnold. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Newton to Washington. That's a solid pick from their new regime. 

[Motown Bombers]

Sounded like Jared Goff chants got going during Washington's pick. 

[Sports_Freak]

Uhhhh;
