One week, and a minute, until the draft starts. Scored the opportunity of a lifetime last night getting theater seats. Taking my oldest son Thursday night for round one, then he plays in the Detroit Regional Flag Football Tournament on Saturday. So monster weekend for this kid.

Not sure what the Jets are asking for QB Zach Wilson in a trade, but I doubt it can be much. I have said it before, if a late round pick, especially if down the road the Lions should think of swinging it if even as a backup for this year. He is on his rookie contract, and we are not sure what Hooker can do as a backup.

Just found out that DE Darius Robinson who went to Missouri is from Southfield, MI and grew up a Lions fan. Not saying they should take him just off that but it is something to consider. He might be motivated to do more for the team than other players. Plus, how cool would it be to line up two guys at the ends who grew up in MI and were Lions fans.

The Jets traded Zach Wilson but not to us. He went to Denver and the price was CHEAP. Denver sent their 6th round pick this year and got Zach plus the Jets 7th round pick this year. The teams are splitting the salary so Denver is only paying him $2.75 M this year. Oh well. Hopefully we don't need a backup this year and if we do it is only in mop up work this will be good for Hooker.

Just a couple days till the draft. I have seen many names mocked to us and most of them I would be happy to see us take. For me there are three positions that if we take in the first I will be happy with. D-line, DB or O-line. With the D-line more so an edge with speed but a DT with power would be fine. DB can be CB or safety and I have seen one, I think the guy from Iowa, who can do both. O-line is not as much a need right now as a defensive stud but it would be about now and the future. We are set at tackle for a few years unless money becomes the issue. Our C is elite but injury prone. It is our G's that are a bit more of a question. The guy from WV could help with our three interior line positions. Thus, if they take him in first I am not going to get mad. After all, in Holmes We Trust. Let's show up and show out Detroit. The nation will be watching and it is our time to shine. #OnePride

The Oregon C/G is a prime candidate to be out first round pick.
