The opportunity to get a blue chip talent on the offensive or defensive line might be boring but is probably where they should be looking. I could see a slight trade back a few spots to acquire an additional pick and take the BPA whether OT, DT, CB, S, Edge. I agree, just get the best prospect. Then fill out the rest with other picks.

Probably because it was a such a awful moment. Football amnesia. It was a Hurts hesitation run, to the right side … the gap was filled though and when Hurts saw that he tried to scramble to the outside and lost the grip when he did. The very likely result if he had not dropped the ball was a 1 or 2 yard loss and a punt on 4th down.

Jurgens was drafted to play interior OL and replace Kelce or someone else. He should be a good candidate to step in at RG. Dickerson and Jurgens were both Centers in college and Dickerson has transitioned well to Guard.

KC was probably looking for a Jalen run. So surprise them with a quick pop pass or slant. Goedert and Smitty were pretty much catching everything in that game. SMH. I’m still pissed at the loss.

We shall see what shakes out in the upcoming months.

Strong gut feeling Howie deals pick 30 … have to believe there will be teams willing to overpay somewhat to get a player they can use the 5th year option on … and get additional day 2-3 picks. Same gut feeling says one of those picks is an OG.

Hurts dropped the ball before there was any contact and I do not think there was any actual grab of the facemask as the photo suggests. Hurts just dropped the ball, plain and simple.

Just curious, you know this with more certainty than others that claim there was indeed a facemask how?

Here is an angle that shows quite authoritatively there was no grabbing of the facemask ... so I guess the simple answer to your question is because I have eyes and I watched the play. The posted pic is a snapshot taken from an angle intentionally meant to deceive the viewer into believing there was a grab when there was not.

Wasn't anything there really. Ref was right there so he had a close up.

Bumps Sanders from the projected compensatory pick equation ... instead of a projected 6th we'll receive a projected 5th for losing Seumalo. So what’s you sense of the 2024 comp pick situation now?

March 20, 20232 yr one year deal for $8 MM? Seems like we should have been able to do that, especially because that isn’t worth a comp pick https://www.prideofdetroit.com/2023/3/19/23647865/detroit-lions-signing-cj-gardner-johnson-nfl-free-agency
