a year and half a go the Browns were one of the top rated teams in the AFC I think they had the 3rd best odds out of the AFC.Injuries to Baker,O-Line,WRs put an end to all of that.How far they have fallen

And then they traded a bunch of picks and every bit of good will for a sexual predator who had never actually accomplished in the league, and hadn't played in two seasons.

If most embarrassing franchise in the NFL.was a tag team matchup, the Browns and Lions keep tagging each other.  I'm scared that the Lions appear to be tagged in right now.

I don't love Goff at all, but I'm half tempted to say roll with him, and a ton of skill position and OL talent around him, and just draft some defensive talent to help Okudah, Hutchinson and Rodriguez.

pretty much agree. Only QB I'd touch first rd is Bryce Young. But he's going to be gone before both Lions picks. Don't want to see them trade up and use picks. If Young isn't there, pass on a QB and roll with Goff. 2024 should be a much better QB draft.

The Rams pick is looking like top 3.  Goff is on the books for next year.  If you can draft some help for Hutch or Okudah at #3, and then draft Hooker for a redshirt year, I wouldn't hate that.  You have used two top 3 picks on defenders.  Okudah is finally healthy.  And apparently the defensive coaches finally read literally every interview with Michigan coaches about how to use Hutchinson, and he looks like a dude.  I'm not sure the right move right now is to put in a rookie quarterback who needs a few years to get ready. By that point, most of their offensive linemen, and their two high defensive picks will.be up for high contracts.  I think normally the right move is to try and win with a quarterback on a rookie deal, but I actually think the lions have hit on a number of picks recently, that they could win with a mediocre quarterback on an overpriced deal, surrounded by a bunch of super talented players on rookie deals

Oh I hear you. I'm just saying, Bryce Young probably going #1. Texans are running away with the #1 pick. My guess is they take him. IF by some miracle they take Will Levis or something like that and you luck out and you can get Bryce and not have to trade up and throw away picks- and just stay put and take him- might just be tempted to do that. Lions Rams pick will definitely be a top 5 pick, just not sure where in the top 5 yet- but I'd take Will Anderson or Jalen Carter with that top 5 pick. Whichever one is there.

Problem with Hooker is he's coming off an ACL and he's already like 26. By the time he actually plays he'll essentially be a 27 year old rookie. Not sure I'd take him in any round other than 5th-6th. Too many other really good players will be available in the 2nd-4th rds and Lions need all the help they can get. Like if you're in the 2nd or 3rd rd and Mazi Smith and Hendon Hooker are both there- you have to take Mazi Smith in that scenario.

I quit giving a shit after that trade.I'm sure in a parallel universe everyone else's team is sucking.But for some reason it seems that all of the souls that still had to square up with the Super Natural Big Guy were made Lions/Browns Fans.Even the law of averages haven't shown an interest or batted an eye.And the owner Jimmy Hasbeen thinx the cash strapped citizens of the City/County should shower his inept,clueless moves with a new roof costing hundreds of millions more - Eat Me

Baker Mayfield just led the Rams 98 yards in 1:40, with no timeouts, to beat the Raiders, two days after getting signed.

Aided by one of the dumbest penalties ever, with a Raiders player getting an unsportsmanlike penalty after a sack. Turned 2nd and 19 into a 1st down, and stopped the clock.

Rams were down 16-3 with like 5 minutes left. Pretty identical to the MNF comeback 3 days ago. Relevant to the Lions pick

[FearlessF]

the Lions can help their draft stock this Sunday

Oh I hear you. 

Evidently so did the Rams - seems now they don't want to help your boys out.They don't have to worry about the Browns they'll shoot themselves in the foot all by themselves

so under used by the Buckeyes - coaching matters.Bill Davis & Al Washington didn't do shit for the kid  should have used him off the edge/rushman more,Even Knowles would recognize that

[FearlessF]

perhaps he was going up against the proverbial turnstile or matador?

[MrNubbz]

Does INDY have any 'Skers on the O-Line?

[FearlessF]

no, but they have a 37 year old QB that might need a walker to get out of the pocket

they have lost 6 of the last 7

they might just suck balls

[ELA]

Oh, hey Jameson Williams
