watching Keionte Scott come off the board two picks ahead of Detroit
if you recall correctly: Sewell started his first game in the NFL (2021) as a left tackle (Decker was hurt) vs. San Francisco -- after that game, Nick Bosa told reporters Sewell was going to be a serious problem at LT and that Detroit shouldn't switch him back to RT
a lot of players to like entering Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft. some of my favorites that would fit well in Detroit—just not sure who will get to 50: - Zion Young - Jacob Rodriguez - Keionte Scott - Emmanuel McNeil-Warren - Colton Hood - Anthony Hill Jr. - T.J. Parker - Jake Golday - Treydan Stukes

spending a Sunday morning snuggling with my son and watching Batman: The Animated Series is like a top-3 surreal parenting moment, just eclipsed by actually becoming a parent and the moment they string together words to form a thought.
i’m thinking like doing a mock draft here for the Lions starting… now? try to finish it before the Wings play in a half hour. let me fire up the simulator and share my picks and brief thought process!

@ryanpod.bsky.social breaks down the value of DT Tyleik Williams at pick no. 28, and the fit he will make immediately on the Detroit Lions roster www.prideofdetroit.com/2025/4/25/24...
NFL Draft grades: Lions get clean fit, debatable value in Tyleik Williams
The Detroit Lions chose fit over flash with the selection of Tyleik Williams, but was pick No. 28 a bit too soon for the defensive tackle?

Took a tour of AT&T stadium while I was on a work trip and found the exact spot Anthony Hitchens committed a felony in 2019 @detroitonlion.bsky.social @erikschlitt.bsky.social @perfett.bsky.social @ryanpod.bsky.social
@ryanpod.bsky.social mannnnn I’m glad I kept listening to the pod. Sam’s is in my area and used to be a couple miles away. Sam’s parking lot basically extends into the farm behind it and the front spots are practically on a main road going 55. Used to frequent.
my latest write-up for Pride of Detroit is a look the most pressing positional needs ahead of the Detroit Lions this offseason.

@ryanpod.bsky.social Jordan Love showing us all the things that make him a Top 5 QB, amirite?
Demetrius Harvey@demetrius.bsky.social · 2y agoThought this was really insightful from Press Taylor on #Jaguars rookie Brian Thomas Jr. Taylor explained here that Thomas retained knowledge that the team wasn’t even intentionally telling him. Something given to Kirk moved to Thomas because of his study habits. Huge.
please lord i’ve seen what you’ve done for others, the Lions were interested back in the 2023 offseason.
Phinstones@thephinstones.bsky.social · 2y agoThe #Dolphins could potentially release Calais Campbell once they are eliminated from the playoffs to give him the chance of joining a contender, per @flasportsbuzz
