    It's OK to question a new GM over the teams picks. Brad has had 3 drafts in a row where he has nailed it. Whatever he and the Lions scounting staff decide on is good enough for me. They have shown they can draft quality players, I have every reason to trust them now.

      @@robwark7554Right? I remember so many drafts where after 3 years not a single drafted player was still on the roster and many were not even in the NFL anymore. The Lions were terrible at drafting. But, Brad has shown me he knows talent. Feels good to finally have my team make quality personnel decisions.

    • @Charleybones
      @Charleybones 13 днів тому

      Agree that he hasnailed the last 3 drafts, but the Lions had high 1st round picks and multiple draft picks to work with in those years. This draft we are way back and have limited draft capital to work with. 8f BH can work his magic this year and draft even 2 first day starters in Positions of need, he will have knocked it out of the park. One thing he has not done to date is overpay for moving up for a draft pick, or allowing himself to get undercompensated for trading vack. He will also not mortgage away next years draft picks for one this year. Let's see how the master chef coojs this draft. Vikings GM, packers GM and Rams GM are all buttsore from deals with him. Other teams GM's are wary of doing deals with BH now. The onlybtije I think BH madexa bad deal is when he gave away Swift to the Eagles last season for a 5th round pick. Swift was and still is a top rb in the league, and he had another whole season on his rookie deal. Trading him to an NFC SB contender for a 5th round pick was abad deal.

    If the GM & HC do it right, our days of top 20-30 draft picks are done. That’s a product of on the field success. We Lions fans best get comfortable not drafting the most promising guys, but the guys at 30-60. Those guys are guys that can be developed. As well as the late round picks. Look at Malcolm Rodriguez, guys a solid pick that does whatever is asked, and would likely be a solid starter on other teams. We need those kind of guys, on both sides of the ball and if rockstar special teamer comes up take him.
    Good luck Madman Brad and company, go find us a couple nuggets Brad. One Pride.

    29 isn't 2 anyway. I am sort of in favor of a trade down anyway. Obviously depends on some factors right? So I don't see it as a bad thing. Then, again I won't be downtown for the draft, but if you're going be realistic.

      Talent-wise, there's no real difference between pick 29 and pick 33(or even 40). The only real difference is the 5th year option. Picking that late, I really don't care what he does.

    I think he has to be talking about LaPorta over Mayer. Nobody and I mean nobody had Sam Laporta over Michael Mayer.. except for Brad and Dan. And look how that turned out. Classic example of going with your gut and it almost took the Lions to the Super Bowl.
    *Could also be Gibbs over Bijan, but that whole room was super excited to get Gibbs because of his potential.

      I was telling everyone Sam would be a Lion back in March 2023! That pick did not surprise me at all.

    The new Lions slogan, It Takes More, was directly mandated by Rod Wood in January when he raised my season ticket price by 80%. I'm pretty sure the new invoice used those exact words...
