Two different NFL draft broadcasts: ESPN & ABC
Apparently the ESPN and ABC broadcasts of the NFL draft will have a different focus. The ESPN broadcast will focus on the NFL team and how the player fits/fills a need. The ABC broadcast will feature College Game Day (not sure if the whole crew will be there) and focus more on the player and his journey to the draft.
Pretty cool idea, IMO. I'll probably tune in to ABC to check it out.
There's a shit ton of talent left on the board. Where you go in the draft doesn't make you a star.
Give me Kancey and Nolan Smith and then Mazi and Turner in the second.
Oops.
What a stupid trade by the lions. Pass up on game changers in tyree, jalen, and bijan for who exactly? Holmes thinks he’s smarter than everyone
time will tell.
Stockpiling picks. I actually think it’s brilliant.

Every lions fan since ‘22, brilliant, next year is the year! I meant the next year! No wait, the next to next year!
I'm normally a big fan of trading down to help build depth. But the FA moves were to win NOW. We needed a few superstars, not depth.
If they motivate Jalen, the Eagles are going to be hard to beat. Make that harder.
Not sure about that one, Bears.
They need someone to help keep Justin in the pocket and not running downfield for a touchdown.
Well, the Lions went back to screwing up the draft.
How? More picks to build depth.. I think it’s great.
They don’t have two firsts next year. You don’t spend firsts and seconds on depth. You use those for impact players.
They have the potential to pick two starters instead of one. I liked the trade. I feel we've talked about this lol
Right here, Brad Holmes could go to jail for Christian Gonzalez draft theft.
Found he was not competent to stand trial so he landed in the asylum. Horrible pick. Lions will be autograded to D.
Derp. I think that was Brad's backup plan.
I guess you go Gonzalez now?
Yep. Probably Gonzalez first and then Mayer.
Northwestern with a first rounder!!!
They took Gibbs from Bama at 12. Stunningly bad pick.
The running game is HUGE for the Lions offense, with Goff running play-action. They might have been able to pick up Gibbs at 18, but it's not 'Stunningly bad'

ALSO, Jamo is going to miss the first 6 games of the season and Jahmyr was the best pass catching RB last year. He played slot at Georgia Tech so I can see him doing that.
Gibbs is a good pick
You jabroni
Holy fuck.
I like Gibbs, but they probably could've gotten him at 18.
Probably even at 34.
Bijan went 8, he probably didn't want to take the chance with Gibbs.
I don’t want to take Bijan too high at 6 so I will trade down and take Gibbs too high at 12
Lol! Hey, I imagine the stress in the War Room is a bit more than it is in our living rooms...

It's the NFL draft, not brain surgery. The whole thing is inherently random anyway, their only real job is to please the fans. But I guess when you work for the Fords, even that doesn't matter.
Agreed. WOW. I would put your Swift Jersey's on EBAY like now.
lol wtf
Loins!
Apparently they are planning on running the wishbone.
1) I did not expect the Lions to do that.
2) Swift is as good as gone.
LOL SOL. What a terrible fckin pick
They must have really wanted Gibbs lol
I’m just here for the SOL jokes.

You arrived just in time
Lions are Lioning again. Wasted pick
I watched 2 hours for this? We need DEFENSE!
I hope Nolan is around at 18
April 27th, 2023 at 10:26 PM ^
He was and we passed. Maybe concerns about his torn pec?
April 27th, 2023 at 10:25 PM ^
Lions had one of the worst defenses in the league last year, and had two picks in the first round. Did they trade up to to land an impact player on defense?
Nope, they trade down to pick up a RB.
LOLSOL
Why the fuck do we need the Jonas Brothers on draft night? Can we stop with this nonsense?
You watching the wrong channel, lol
I guess so.
Bruh…wtf
Dumb pick by Lions. Did Matt Millan consult?
is this good news for Corum and Edwards next year? 1,2 and 3 in the draft along with JJ?
I knew Holmes was on drugs! Now we have proof!
