How To Get LeBron Vol. 1 – Spurs Edition

The San Antonio Spurs Dynasty is one of the most underappreciated dynasties in all of sports. They have been a potent force for two decades now, navigating the many different iterations that the NBA has evolved into. The mystique of the Spurs resonates with their ability to evolve, both ahead of and contrary to theContinue reading “How To Get LeBron Vol. 1 – Spurs Edition”

DETROIT LIONS DRAFT OVERVIEW- #82 OVERALL TRACEY WALKER

This pick was the first true head scratcher of the day for Bob Quinn and company, in my opinion. Though I may have had some reservations about passing up on a pass rusher with the Ragnow pick, and passing up on Guice with the Johnson pick, I did see Ragnow and Johnson as players whoContinue reading “DETROIT LIONS DRAFT OVERVIEW- #82 OVERALL TRACEY WALKER”

Detroit Lions Draft Overview – #43 Overall Kerryon Johnson

So I can admit when I have jumped the gun. And I may have jumped the gun in my initial “mild displeasure” over the Lions selection of Mr. Kerryon Johnson. It’s not that I thought Kerryon was a bad player. I knew he was good. He led the SEC in yards and touchdowns and wasContinue reading “Detroit Lions Draft Overview – #43 Overall Kerryon Johnson”

Detroit Lions Draft Overview – #20 Overall Frank Ragnow

I’m back !!!!! After a lengthy hiatus I have been re-energized by my favorite event of the year – The NFL Draft ! I have some mixed feelings about this Draft for the Lions, but I will get into that, as well as my overall feelings about this franchise and the direction it is headedContinue reading “Detroit Lions Draft Overview – #20 Overall Frank Ragnow”

205th Overall – Jeremiah Ledbetter

Jeremiah Ledbetter is a guy that must have caught Bob Quinn and his staff’s eye at the combine. Because the tape I saw was not all that impressive. Still he has the physical profile to fulfill a need as the base end in our scheme (5 technique that plays just outside the edge of theContinue reading “205th Overall – Jeremiah Ledbetter”

165th Overall – Jamal Agnew

This one will be brief as I scoured the Internet and could not find any real film on Mr. Agnew. The closest I could find is this highlight film. Highlight films are not the best for evaluating a player as, naturally, it only shows a player at his best. However, I suppose it is betterContinue reading “165th Overall – Jamal Agnew”

127th Overall – Michael Roberts

The irony/riddle/enigma of the Lions selection of Michael Roberts is the eerie similarity to Brandon Pettigrew, but for the EXACT opposite reason that the casual Lions fan would think. Also, I expect Roberts to be a case study in the role of fan expectations in perceived performance.  …. Also, former Toledo RB Kareem Hunt would haveContinue reading “127th Overall – Michael Roberts”

124th overall – Jalen Reeves- Maybin

Jalen … is an interesting film to evaluate. Let me just say he certainly stands out on the field. Unfortunately, that is both in a positive and a negative context. But you cannot miss him on the field, as he FLYS around.  https://youtu.be/V9IaR0_n-HA https://youtu.be/281bNB4sQqs First, as always, the positives. Jalen is a converted safety andContinue reading “124th overall – Jalen Reeves- Maybin”

96th overall – Kenny Golladay

First off let me say that if this kid pans out, he’s got a badass nickname already waiting to be unleashed from his surname.  Also, while watching Golladay’s film … That Northern Illinois QB is tough as nails and accurate. IDK if he has NFL talent but he could play for me any day.  Anywho,Continue reading “96th overall – Kenny Golladay”
