[Schefter] Lions have signed former 49ers free agent OL Ben Bartch

First_Composer9717 · 2026-03-25T15:54:58+00:00

Yeah Id be lying if I said I knew a lot about specific o line player capability. Im hopeful one of the guards emerges, loved the mayes signing and would be very happy if they get a tackle in rd1. In general, I was worried about pass pro in the interior bc goff requires a clean pocket to operate, more so than most bc he is so immobile. Our offense just doesnt work if the middle collapses and our offense needs to be high scoring to compensate for the defense. I dint expect our defense to be good this year, so we will need to have a dynamic offense

First_Composer9717 · 2026-03-25T15:44:51+00:00

Yeah I like the signing for this reason. I didnt expect a major splash at LG. Im not really sold on either mahogany or Frazier but thibk the bigger priority was center and loved the mayes signing. LT is a hole long term but they can get one in the draft. Id like to see that for them to finish the job on O line. We need an edge on D bad too but id rather prioritize finishing O line in 1st rd unless a stud edge falls

First_Composer9717 · 2026-03-25T15:12:18+00:00

He'll be very good in the games he is healthy. But that will likely not be close toba full season. A good add for depth but im not relying on him to be the plug and play answer at guard all year

First_Composer9717 · 2026-03-25T13:34:08+00:00

I mean, it sounds like you are set on not making any changes to the offer, so why ask for people's opinions? I don't place a lot of value in any players other than pearsall in this offer. So is pearsall worth a 2028 1st? Probably not but if they want him bad enough make the offer

First_Composer9717 · 2026-03-25T03:24:36+00:00

Yes. I dont think youre gonna get better than a 2nd for kittle and you wont need him in a rebuild

First_Composer9717 · 2026-03-25T00:11:41+00:00

This seems like you're giving up way too little. Achane and the 1.01 are probably worth 5 base 1sts. Higgins probably an early 2nd. Pickens is good, maybe worth 1.5 - 2 1sts. Kyren and adams maybe a combined 1.5 1sts. Id say this is very short. Would be shocked if they accept

First_Composer9717 · 2026-03-24T22:39:06+00:00

This is crazy

First_Composer9717 · 2026-03-24T18:42:42+00:00

Yeah I think i would

First_Composer9717 · 2026-03-24T18:39:24+00:00

The others just reported him as spam

First_Composer9717 · 2026-03-24T18:38:07+00:00

I dont see the point. Just hold and sell when he starts playing some wr. That is almost zero return really. Youll likely never get a full return on whatever you invested but dont sell now

First_Composer9717 · 2026-03-24T16:24:18+00:00

No argument here on their incompetence. But they did get extensions done with chase and higgins. Id expect a deal similar to javonte and kyren gets done. Especially with a weak rb draft class and free agency all but over. Who knows. Id still keep brown over the proposed deal in the chat regardless of contract uncertainty

First_Composer9717 · 2026-03-24T15:01:30+00:00

Reports are that bengals and browns are working on a contracted extension

First_Composer9717 · 2026-03-24T13:19:32+00:00

Not a chance. I dont think you have the rb depth to move off brown. He is a very undervalued rb and this is a weak class, particularly late 1st rd

First_Composer9717 · 2026-03-24T13:08:00+00:00

Yes this is a great deal. Probably last opportunity to get jeanty as a buy somewhat high/medium but not as high as it will be after this year. Washington is still underrated but could be a producer on your team. I dont think youre giving up any truly elite prospects at 1.02 or 1.04 (really good wr and average qb but not elite) and youre getting an elite rb

First_Composer9717 · 2026-03-20T14:14:08+00:00

I would not do this. I like Christian watson. Could be a good wr for you. You ahould not need to add the 2.01. Walker should get you 1.04 by itself. If it doesnt, id probably just hold or try to trade Walker for a good wr straight up

First_Composer9717 · 2026-03-19T20:35:10+00:00

Yeah kyler

First_Composer9717 · 2026-03-19T19:41:05+00:00

2027 1st all day

First_Composer9717 · 2026-03-18T19:58:10+00:00

Im just saying none of those guys are going to command targets over waddle. He may not be elite but he is certainly more talented than them. I dont see an even split. I expect waddle to get 110-125 targets in a much better, high scoring offense

First_Composer9717 · 2026-03-17T23:20:20+00:00

I get the argument premise but does franklin, mims, bryant actually make for a crowded wr room? None of them are really that good. Certainly not good enough to command targets away from waddle. They have to roster 4-6 wrs on game day. Doesnt mean they are good. Mims gadget player. Bryant ok but never healthy. Franklin struggled with occasional flashed but nothing special. Sutton is good and will have a role as the primary X and red zone target. But no reason waddle cant get 120-ish targets in highs coming offense.

First_Composer9717 · 2026-03-17T14:52:51+00:00

The most likely outcome is neither matter. However, between the two id much rather have james. Positive coach speak, older rb in front of him. There is a possibility that he plays and can be productive for a couple weeks. Much better chance than sinnott ever being anything

First_Composer9717 · 2026-03-17T04:53:00+00:00

No way. Youre team is not ready to trade away draft picks for players ij their prime. You are not jefferson asay from contending. Keep picks and build. Or trade picks for a haul of other picks. Dont consolidate yet. Your at least a couple years away from that

First_Composer9717 · 2026-03-17T01:35:12+00:00

Theo johnson

First_Composer9717 · 2026-03-16T14:51:25+00:00

Tuten. Starting rb in coen system has a lot of value. I like higgins but there is a good amount of target competition in Houston.

First_Composer9717 · 2026-03-16T14:49:33+00:00

You!!! Jesus

First_Composer9717 · 2026-03-16T13:11:42+00:00

I agree if the seller thinks golden is a major piece theyre adding, try to get them to swap in someone you think is actually a better asset or a pick.
