The "experts" are, um ....

That's impeccable scouting. 

The odds of all of those guys hitting, even though they were blue chip recruits, is pretty wild.

Seems like half of TN's blue chips flame out in short order.

don't discount the development/coaching

I don't hate the Lions' pick, but man, I couldn't have run to the podium quicker to pick Mike Green if I were Brad Holmes

I don’t hate the pick either- and I’m always one that likes taking the trench players with high draft picks- cause that’s where games will always be won or lost- in the trenches- but think they could’ve gotten Tyleik in the 2nd rd.

I’d have taken Will Johnson at 28 just because you’re getting top 5-10 player value that late and he’s got All-Pro/Pro Bowl potential- but his medicals on that knee must be downright atrocious if no one took him late.

I trust Brad Holmes- but Jihaad Campbell or Mike Green would’ve been better picks imo. More upside and more raw talent and it’d be nice if they gave Hutch some real help and get another pass rusher opposite him.

The seem to prioritize tackling over coverage skills in their CBs.  For better or for worse.

And, I kind of wonder how much due diligence they did on Johnson, assuming he would be nowhere near falling to them.  Maybe scared off by other who did passing on him due to medicals

If the Browns do that,just SMDH,Build a solid team all around then find a good game manager

Browns QB room: Watson, Lil Deion, Kenny Pickett, Joe Flacco.

Please make this happen!

As a Lions fan, I like the pick.  Discaimer #1: as I have said, in this form before, if I had to make a living, deciding which college football player would become a great pro, I would be a very poor man.

Disclaimer #2:  I’m obviously biased because it’s a player. I watched every game for the last two years. This last year virtually, nobody could run on Ohio State and he is the reason. They built their whole run defense around him, blowing up Run plays and pass protection and taking on double teams very well.  For a guy that weighs over 300 pounds he’s got the feet of a ballerina.  I think he will help Detroit a lot

A handy infographic for you all:

Michigan, Texas, Georgia, Ohio State pretty dominant there, pretty much in that order.  Although Ohio State has 4 guys taken, which is not nothing and maybe should bump them up.

Nope…traded up for Jaxson Dart. Wow.

Well he had a 180 QBR, back-to-back 10 win seasons and finished as the program's all time leader in passing yards, surpassing Eli Manning at Ole Miss. Might be something there

Will Johnson goes to the Cardinals. Imagine those practices, Marv vs Will. Would pay to see that.

Mind blowing the Cardinals got a top 5-10 player overall type prospect at #47. Dude is that good, he’ll be their day 1 starter at outside corner and in the running for defensive rookie of the year.

The Bears are really going to find out if Caleb Williams is legit.  No excuses.
