You are at a coffee shop and run into an eccentric, wealthy Lions fan. He makes you a $1 bet that will pay out $1m if you correctly pick a 2026 Detroit Lion draftee. BUT he cannot be picked in the first round or else you also lose the bet and owe him $1.
Who is the draft eligible collegian that you place your high upside $1 bet on?
Nadame Tucker Edge, Western Michigan
He has that 3rd round trade up feel that Holmes loves lol. I have loathed him doing that but this one I would actually like.
Jonah Coleman, Washington, 5-8, 2220 lbs. -** Coleman is a total bowling ball that gives tacklers very little to hit. He’s a real handful to get on the ground-and tackle breaking abilities translate well to the NFL. It would have been nice if Coleman worked out at the Combine and that could be considered a red flag, but he is reliable and productive with a style that should translate well.
Me: Cmon the dude weighs over 2000 lbs according to this. Gotta have him.
This is unlikely, but I’d only lose a dollar. I do think they’ll draft a RB at some point so worth a shot.
Can we do it for last year? TeSlaa FTW.
Can i wait to see who visits? Probably no.
So I’ll go with Aidan Fisher. LB/Indiana immediate special teams ace. Backs up Jack, maybe works his way to starter WLB? Likely to slow, but Anzalone wasn’t that good when he first got here. So that’s my guy.
I 2nd this too. Love Coleman.
Kaelon Black - RB - Indiana
I called one last year(Isaac Teslaa)
This year Give me Michael Taffee S from Texas
Can we return to the coffee shop to give him our answer once our visit list starts to fill up, or do we have to answer now?
Sure. Get your edge.
Who gets hurt a ton
Jesus. He’s huge. He will score a ton* of TDs
That’s cheating and you know it!
That’s more than a full ton of RB. Bowling ball indeed!
Terion Stewart is built the same way. After two years of extreme tackle breaking metrics and plus prediction in the MAC, injuries derailed his VTU season. Probably my favorite round 7 thumper sleeper in this RB class.

If we’re basing it on interest shown so far, Jaishawn Barham might be the guy. Though he feels like he would probably take our 2nd since I don’t think he makes it to the 4th. Still plenty of time left though.
Who was that squatty Northern Illinois RB I liked last year? The one who got hurt during the process and never got a chance (at least so far). Hard not to see him in Stewart.
2220 pounds holy shit ! I’m teasing you bud 
Man, gotta get to a post early if you want to be the first one to make typo jokes.
