2025 NFL Draft

Lions continue to build from the inside out. Good draft for them so far IMO.

Williams might have been a reach for their #1 pick, especially when they have a desperate need at the edge rusher opposite of Hutch (something Brad Holmes continues to not address this offseason)... but with the 1st round quickly emptying out of DTs, I don't hate the pick, even if I don't love it, especially since he'll start day 1.

As far as Ratledge... with the way the Lions play offense, extremely mobile interior linemen are always a plus, especially when we need some depth and need to start replacing some of the existing pieces over the next year.
 
Split End
Way-way back in HS, I was a split end.

We were run-heavy, especially senior year when we used wishbone. We passed maybe 1.25 times per game.

My main role on offense, rotating with our other SE: Coach told me the play, sprinted to the huddle, using my impeccable memory to relay the exact formation/play to QB four seconds later. QB then told the rest of the team the play. Ready, break!

During the play, block whenever necessary, run a pass pattern occasionally as "deception," and don't do anything dumb, like jump offside.

That’s funny cuz when I was in HS we ran the Wing T and our split ends brought the play in as well.
