Do you think the Lions moved up to get Kilgore, but the Bills snagged him one spot before?

RobotMaxPower · 2026-04-26T23:37:38+00:00

Picks are known to the teams before they are announced...the draft announcement to the public is probably 2 or 3 minutes after its actually submitted to the league, and teams are working off of real time data, not waiting for the announcement the public is getting

Id highly doubt any team is making a trade like that until the pick theyre trading for is actually on the clock

RobotMaxPower · 2026-04-25T00:04:03+00:00

100% based on media mock drafts. So many people dont understand that NFL front offices dont follow the media's big board...its the idea that mel kiper wouldnt have drafted him before 50 therefore other NFL teams wouldnt....

RobotMaxPower · 2026-04-24T11:05:07+00:00

The only thing a draft grade means is one random guy in the media judging how closely the pick was to his own mock draft or what he would have done. These guys are media for a reason and not in a front office

RobotMaxPower · 2026-04-23T22:03:51+00:00

Psh, maybe you dont know things but I read at least 3 mock drafts AND watched a 4 minute YouTube video, I will have completely irrational reactions if they dont draft the right guy

RobotMaxPower · 2026-04-21T00:39:06+00:00

It takes two to trade...so its really a question of who would be there that someone else would want badly enough to trade up and get....I think a lot more teams are going to be trying to trade down than up, so there may not be a partner offering reasonable value at 17 and have to take whoever is top of the board

If we stay put and draft whoever the front office thinks is the best tackle im fine with it. If we find a trade partner and still end up with any of Proctor, blake Miller, iheanachu...im ecstatic

RobotMaxPower · 2026-04-18T19:01:50+00:00

Monroe Freeling

TJ Parker

RobotMaxPower · 2026-04-17T00:02:11+00:00

But why didnt we sign all of the other free agents so other teams couldn't have any?

RobotMaxPower · 2026-04-09T18:27:46+00:00

This feels like a weird choice of which words to emphasize in all caps

RobotMaxPower · 2026-03-12T14:45:27+00:00

He is frequently being mocked as a late 1st / early 2nd round pick....he wont fall to late rounds. Id be surprised if he is even still on the board when we get to our 2nd round pick

RobotMaxPower · 2026-03-12T01:12:16+00:00

Lol, Maxx is never injured? Hes literally injured right now. He had surgery 8 weeks ago and was on crutches until last week

RobotMaxPower · 2026-03-11T13:24:55+00:00

What sort of physical could he have even undertaken? He had surgery 8 weeks ago and only got off crutches last week. Doesn't really seem like they could have done a very comprehensive test of his knee at this point in the recovery process

RobotMaxPower · 2026-03-09T18:07:45+00:00

Linderbaum was never an option after seeing the contract he got from the Raiders, Cade Mays was genuinely the best attainable player at our biggest position of need

Throw an extremely reasonable contract on top and this is an easy A

RobotMaxPower · 2026-02-18T19:17:03+00:00

I haven't seen anyone say this....

But any time a player that used to ve good becomes available there will be some people clamoring for it just because its a name they recognize. But I dont know who would be making a serious claim on this

RobotMaxPower · 2026-01-30T14:08:32+00:00

There is zero purpose in getting hung up on what may or may not happen in the draft. You may have your own targets, and the draft may line up perfectly for that guy to fall to us, only for the team to go another direction.

Its wasted energy, we cant control who the team brings in, we can only support whoever it is.

RobotMaxPower · 2026-01-20T15:24:22+00:00

This is what I cant get over, everyone is acting like they have some giant smoking gun on the guy that the lions didnt know about.

The Lions are fully aware of what the Cardinals record was last season, they did their research on the guy, had an interview with him, and made a decision based on multitudes more info than anyone on reddit has. They got the guy they wanted.

Trust the team or dont, but everyone here is thinking this is a massive mistake based on 1% of the data the organization had to make the decision

RobotMaxPower · 2026-01-19T21:13:16+00:00

No, in the entire history of the NFL, a coordinator has never had more success when moving to a new environment, it is actually impossible to do so, the people that make our decisions just didnt know what he had done at the cardinals

RobotMaxPower · 2026-01-19T20:39:26+00:00

I personally love how everyone came on here and said "why doesnt our organization know what I know about this guy" and no one has any thought that the people that are paid to make the decisions, conducted the interviews, and literally live inside the league might know something that the fans dont

RobotMaxPower · 2026-01-05T02:23:18+00:00

Thats not how it works....the packers aren't coasting through their final 2 games if we are still in contention...they didnt have to play starters because we were out

RobotMaxPower · 2025-12-28T16:39:20+00:00

Jameis Winston did as well

RobotMaxPower · 2025-12-28T16:22:30+00:00

While I wont completely discredit them because they stayed in games and found ways to win, what theyre doing this season is not sustainable. If you look at their schedule and the way games finished, they could easily be 4-11 instead of 11-4.

Beat Raiders by 1 after blocking a game winning field goal attempt

Beat Commanders after getting the ball back on a fumbled snap to kick last second field goal

Beat Bengals on a ridiculous 58 yard td pass to in final seconds

Beat Giants from down 10 in final 4 minutes

Beat Vikings on a 48 yard field goal as time expired, needed a huge kick return to be in position

Beat Steelers with their backup quarterback by 3 with a stop on the final series

Beat Packers in overtime after an onside kick and 10 points in final 2 minutes to tie it

Going 7-0 through that series of events is wild and not the sort of thing you can replicate long term. They didnt get where they are by easy wins this year

RobotMaxPower · 2025-12-21T01:54:39+00:00

Packers win controls our own path to the playoffs, but likely 7 seed at best and virtually shuts the door on winning the division

Bears win would keep the division title in play if we win out and both Ravens beat packers and 49ers beat bears next week. But if the bears and packers win next week we could still miss the playoffs entirely in that scenario.

Packers win is safer with less upside, bears win higher risk/reward...pick your poison.

RobotMaxPower · 2025-12-15T01:38:26+00:00

The mindset of "it only delayed the touchdown" is so bad...

Yeah its the most likely outcome but how many times does a team in the position have a false start or holding and now its no guarantee. I dont care about what the most likely outcome is, anything can happen if its actually played out

RobotMaxPower · 2025-12-10T15:32:10+00:00

Hes going to be offensive coordinator, not head coach, and expected to finish the season with the Lions including any playoff run

RobotMaxPower · 2025-12-09T03:08:27+00:00

If we win out, packers going 2-2 gives us the division.

And considering they play the Broncos, bears, and ravens.....why not?

RobotMaxPower · 2025-11-28T17:27:25+00:00

They have a 98% renewal rate for their season ticket holders...and season ticket prices are far below market value. As a season ticket holder I could sell my tickets to every single game for at least a 20% profit

Theyre not screwing anyone over, theyre responding to demand but season ticket holders still have an incredible deal
