Why I did what I did:

Graham Barton, Laiatu Latu and Jer’Zhan Newton are not available at #29. Darius Robinson is available and will be at #34 too. Baltimore, KC and Carolina are jonesing for WRs just like New England, so NE trades up past them for WR Ladd McConkey. The Patriots want their new QB to have easy targets as he acclimates to the NFL, so flipping #103 to Detroit makes sense.

Brad uses #103 and 142 to snag redshirt CBs Qwan’tez Stiggers and Willie London Drew Jr. Carolina also has #141 and they’re thrilled with the trade. In 2025, Brad says goodbye to pricey CBs Davis and Moseley and hello to your sophomore starters plus 2026 compensatory picks to boot.

The Lions are good enough for primetime at WR this year. They are, I say. Jamo’s true limits will be revealed in the coming season, which will clarify our WR room needs for 2025 and beyond. Unless huge value presents itself, I’m ignoring WRs until the late rounds. Though this year has a bumper crop, good college WRs grow on trees each year and every year. Spoiler alert: Joshua Cephus will be this year’s version of Marcus Colston. Thanks in advance, Brad.

#34 Darius Robinson, DL, Missouri

The Lions defensive identity is The No Run Zone. Deal with it.

#61 Kiran Amegadjie, OL, Yale

This lottery ticket and future OL fixture gets a redshirt year. You’ll need a redshirt year too, to pronounce his name properly.

#73 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, DB, Texas Tech

This is not a needs pick, though there is a need at safety with Kerby regressing and Iffy’s iffy history. FBI, ball hawk, and speed for days.

#103 Quan’tez London Stiggers, CB, B,E.S.T. Academy

Focused, too smooth to fail, Quinyon Mitchell-esque if you squint a little. If you love a player, you don’t wait and hope.

#142 Willie Robert Drew Jr, CB, Virginia St

Has all the tools, needs to redshirt because Virginia St played a high school schedule. If you love a player, you don’t wait and hope.

#205 Joshua Cephus, WR, UTSA

Big target, faster than Amon-Ra, he’s open more than 7-Eleven, his hands are nicknamed The Black Holes . Named captain twice: both before and after his DUI.

#249 Jarius Monroe, S, Tulane

Good FBI and could be special teams ace as he transitions from CB to backup safety.
