Well, that was easily one of the best and coolest nights of my life. Watching at home now and I can’t believe the NFL Network totally spoiled the Michael Penix pick!!! 😮 The place WENT WILD when the big Lions logo popped up on the screen and we all realized the Lions had traded up. Before the draft Fox 2 news was outside interviewing fans and I actually said “The Lions will trade up for Terrion Arnold!” I wonder if that makes the news 😂

The last pic looks like something I would say to the ladies back in the day. Seriously I'm glad you had fun. Congrats on the prediction. They better use the clip if they are smart. I hope fans keep coming out over next two days so we set a full draft record that stands for years.

I think the Lions got a good player there.

Lions got a good pick today and didn't really give up much in the process. So Brad worked his magic again.

Draft experience was somehow even better than expected. Turns out we got autographed Barry Sanders footballs in our swag bag which I didn’t even notice until this morning. Only complaint is that the band they had playing during commercials was loud AF and they were right on top of us. And it got cold. But 275,000 diehard fans (new NFL record) were down there in one of the craziest events I’ve ever been to. Really looking forward to chilling at home tonight for Rounds 2-3. Still lots of great players available.

Sounds like an awesome experience. The Penix pick surprised me so much with his injury history and how much they paid for Cousins. The run on QBs and lack of defensive players getting picked early was crazy but that’s the league these days.

The run on QBs and lack of defensive players getting picked early was crazy but that’s the league these days. Yeah it was shocking when we realized how many picks were in without a defensive player. It’s a real different experience not having the announcers there talking about everything, you just have to figure it out on your own lol As far as tonight goes, I wonder if the Chargers take Blake Corum. And I wonder if the Lions try to trade back to pick up a 3rd and/or 4th. There are a bunch of guys out there who make a ton of sense for us at OT, G, WR, DE and DT.

I wonder what position we draft today. My guess is someone for the line, either O or D. Another DB or a WR are a possibility but less likely. All depends on who is on the board when we pick and/or if we trade down for additional picks this year.

Damn, the Eagles got Cooper DeJean. It seems like guys always fall and they get to scoop them up. He is going to improve their defense and likely their special teams.

Getting close to our pick. Could be Colson, Tampa, Bullard or Braswell.
