wanted to add this detail from ESPN, looking like blake is highly likely not only to make the team, but get signif touches: Post-Draft Analysis
Kyren Williams is coming off a breakout year but he has missed 12 games over the past two seasons -- and the Rams don't have great depth behind him. Corum gives them a talented one-two punch and insurance if Wiliams misses time. -- Muench
they just had the raiders on the clock with blake as the 'best fit' for what they needed. ranked at 48, still hanging around in the 70's. who will take him?
certainly that's true and i recognize that. i was asking more of a macro-question about that. in general is it a 'steal' to get, say, the # 32 player in the #58 pick, or is it because the #32 guy has some issues. anecdotally, anything can be a legit explanation, but the generalization and how strong the correlation is, that's my question.
secret look at the notes: ohio only had one player taken in the first round, just like michigan. then we had two more taken, waaaayyy more than ohio. so there, ohio.
question: trying not to read too much into the 'overall rank' of the various players, but would it be a fair conclusion that if a player is taken way off of his rank, for instance a texas receiver ranked 28 was just taken at 52, is there some issue of either character or injury there? maybe one at a time, not too much, but overall, would be curious if there is some correlation between the rankings and guys taken way high or way low in relation to the rankings.
ohio tears are so sweet. like honey from heaven. thank you for posting those. may they go through decades of frustration for their incredible unaware, hypocritical, and psychotic fandom. they have literally an entire state that is focused on one school and one team, and they can't get it done....
whoever advises many of these kids on their draft-night outfits should be fired. bad suits and bad bling is not the way to make your national TV premiere.
i think that guy is a value pick there. athleticism is outstanding. unless there are character issues (none that i know of), they done good getting him.
obviously gifted, but i have to imagine that it's tough on the body and cuts down on their shelf life. only so much the bones and ligaments can take in the human body, and moving that fast with that much bulk has got to take a big toll.
just an observation: for all the talent purchased by ohio, long before NIL was legal or really in force, they have exactly one guy taken so far. admittedly, MHJ, jr deserved it. but that's it. one guy.
i think its moray that he eels he can't fin-ish his career here. could also be that he might've gotten a conch on the head, or the coaches are too crabby for him.
and for all or nearly all of the game v. illinois, the sun was out. granted, it was windy and all, but it wasn't an ugly day. we knew what we were headed into though, but proudly claiming my yooper roots, it was no big deal, holy wah!
it was the drive home up north after that game that made that game such a zinger for weather. absolute blizzard, white-out conditions, cars littered on the side of the road the whole way home. i was passing county plow trucks like slalom gates on a ski hill, but we made it home.
i said last season that campbell (MCDC) was the NFL version of harbaugh - took character over flash, toughness over stats, and it paid off big time. i loved his line in the team room, 'these seats are not for everybody'.
was at that NFC champ game in SF. despite the loss, glad that i went. like virtually all of us lions fans (excepting don, who built the pyramids and watched the lions in the coliseum), it was by far the most memorable lions season of my life.
when i played out west i was one of two guys from michigan on the team, the other was our #1 RB who had played at iowa. when it would rain in socal and temps would be in the 40's or 50's, our teammates would complain about the weather. we would shame them mercilessly, using words you cannot say in polite company.

posted before but just as enjoyable to watch a second time.
no wonder those guys are so successful and that their players love them. can't be enough people in the world like that.
my exact response as well. pass-happy offense with the 8th pick of the draft throwing them the ball.

conspiracy, obviously. dark web stuff. you're not in the loop.
busted tibia and all. really hits home with a guy like that.
how many has the best team that money can buy in ohio had? 1? 2?
great kid. he'll do great, and that's if he never got drafted.

and mikey!
and there you go: jenkins.
checks notes: ohio only has 1, also.
thank you. that was fantastic.
and to think of the two wackiest fan bases' on the planet and how they are committing seppuku after seeing that. glorious all over again.

right. and guys rated in the high-60's who are getting taken in the high-30's overall. definition of 'reach'.
academics. and a very large toilet bowl. and coolers, lots of coolers.

meanwhile in e. landfull and columbus they are clawing their eyes out. sorry sparty. sorry ohio. bwahahaha
those are the kind of clips that give you goose bumps.
bruce martyn, bud lynch, and bob miller, the long-time LA kings announcer were all awesome, but so was bob cole. may they rest in peace.
great. now the monkey is making the rules.
sure sign of the apocalypse.
based on those numbers, it seems like a reasonable move.
thanks JB.
what did the lions give up to move up in the first round?
good call. having trouble reading. stiff. stuttering. maybe a few too many cocktails with some back meds?
i got a load of football playing sons of same or similar ages. they don't wear anything even remotely like that. ever.

they are saying 275,000 people in attendance at the draft in detroit. wow.
quit with the wild guesses and get serious.
obviously gifted, but i have to imagine that it's tough on the body and cuts down on their shelf life. only so much the bones and ligaments can take in the human body, and moving that fast with that much bulk has got to take a big toll.
i agree that it's risky, thus my post above. and as a lions fan, other than JJ, i hope their draft is an epic failure.
i will say that there have been some incredibly large human beings getting drafted. 6' 8", 6' 9", 340+ and athletic.
i can see that as a very reasonable take, but still, they gave up a metric ton of picks.
a veritable skeleton crew....
vikes just gave up a boatload of draft picks to move up from 23 to 17,
along with a 3rd and 4th from next year's draft? yeesh.
just an observation: for all the talent purchased by ohio, long before NIL was legal or really in force, they have exactly one guy taken so far. admittedly, MHJ, jr deserved it. but that's it. one guy.
totally inexplicable.
malpractice.
do they take JJ....?
JJ = the franchise.
any team that picks him will be very, very glad.

i sea, could be a whale of a problem. hopefully the departures will tail off to a snail's pace.

i am not taking the bait on that pun, you hammerhead.
