We’re due for a discussion on Borom, no?

Well I will say he is probably the best NFL player named Borom.

Sounds more and more like Borom would play RT if he was to be a starter at all. Not sure the author really did his homework lol.

Common sense prevails
Larry Borom is a good swing backup, but the Lions don’t want to live in a world where he starts 17 games

Finally! Someone wants to bring this signing out of the shadows! I mean, talk about a Borom dead zone around here!

Exactly! Zero chance Borom plays Left Tackle. In fact Holmes talked at length on the podcast about Borom’s game tape at Right Tackle. Amazing these guys can write articles and do zero research. A 6th grader could be more thorough.

Even the latest iterations of AI would be more thorough.

Let’s not get carried away now. I actually had AI throughly confused the other day because I wanted to know the 105 players on a certain D1 football team. AI was trying to tell me that there could only be 99, because there were only 99 jersey numbers. It can be pretty dumb!
But yeah, this guy did zero research so his assessment of the Lions at #3 is also kinda trashy,

Ai is GREAT if you know how to use it properly.
The more information you give it the better information you get out. Thats been coding 101 for decades
As long as the information hasn’t been poisoned. Feed the AI bad data, and you’ll get bad results.

I can’t believe no one is talking about the Borom signing more.
In all seriousness, this sounds like a contrarian take. Who cares in the end. Let’s just forward to the damn draft.
To be fair, he played RT for Miami, which is the blindside tackle position for Tua. I wouldn’t say there is a non-zero chance that Borom plays LT, but it’s pretty low considering we have Penei on the roster and why would you do anything other than have the best OT in the league protecting your most important player’s backside?

Plus Borom has played his best ball at Right Tackle and sucked pretty bad at left tackle
From Brad Holmes…
“Seeing what he did at Miami, especially at right tackle—you start looking at the film, and it’s like, ‘Man, this is probably the most consistent ball that I’ve seen him play,’” Holmes said. “Then you start taking a deeper dive of him at right tackle even in the past, and you start seeing this level of consistency versus the guard spots or the left tackle spots. (I’m) not saying that he can’t play those spots, too, because he can. But that’s what kept him up there for us.”
