NS Rakestraw sounds like a character on HR PufnStuf.
I know the Lions DB luck makes me wanna puff stuff, or at least finish off that bottle Glenmorangie Lasanta…
I think it’s DNP-CD Rakestraw

Here is the reallllllll issue…
Terrion was mostly an up and down, often banged up CB who ranked near the bottom of the leagues starters for the 2 years prior to losing his mind and becoming a college train wreck.
Rake has been as bad of a 2nd round pick as humanly possible without committing multiple felonies.
- 3rd wasted along with our first on Arnold
- 3rd wasted on 12 games rental of CD3
- Future 3rd wasted to draft manu
- Future picks wasted to draft Vaki
Wingo hasn’t earned snaps despite our lack of depth or top line performance
CM showed solid for 2 games in an injury plagued rookie year, followed by an injury plagued bottom half to 25% guard rating in 25’, followed by an injured start to 26’
Tyliek has been okay giving us 400 snaps and a 51 rating as a rookie, and so far he’s been improved in 2026.
Rat was another pick that required additional capital, and he ranked #32 out of 64 guards last year…. Solid for sure, but not a clear future pro bowl type player.
TesLaa- could never have been worthy of the 3 thirds rounders. Not with the allocation of resources already tied to Ra, Jamo, Laporta, and Gibbs…. Meaning the money and the targets.
Frazier, Hass, Jackson, Lovett- so far not more than a few decent to bad snaps total.
Miller- one solid start and then banged up
D Moore has zero ST snaps, 35 on D for a 21% snap share- consider we have a 57 rating veteran in Wonnum, who also hasn’t recorded a sack with the 93 snaps allocated to a 2M aav one year rental
Rolder- hasn’t played
Abney- was a healthy scratch despite a secondary that has been atrocious
Law- IR before abl preseason game… lol
SGH- some nice reps and 43% snap share
T West- cut
- so in reality we have an above average RG and we are hopeful to have a solid to good RT despite spending a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 5th, and 6th…. Plus whatever CM turns out to be? Given the really high success rate of early picks on the OL, that’s a LOT of resources for what we currently show.
Jamo, Teslaa, Law, Lovett- that’s a 1st, 3rd, 3rd, 3rd, 5th, and 7th plus the Jamo trade up cost… and we did get a pair of 6ths back- Again a TON of capital tied to maybe 100 targets and 1400 yards?
Arnold, Rake, Abney, Jackson- 1, 2, 5, 7 plus the pair of 3rds that went to CD3 and Arnold trade up.
My gawd is that a shitload of resources spent by on a high upside but inconsistent WR2, solid RG, hopefully solid RT, and bad rotational LG-

He’s no Dejean Cooper, that’s for sure.
I expected this to be the year Rake put it all together based on things Brad and writers said last year before injury.
Appears I was wrong again
Same, it sure isn’t looking good at this point, but it seemed, at least film wise in college he had the tools to possibly be a plus player
Now I remember that show every Saturday morning

What if he is just an asshole?

Week 1 = Rake was a healthy scratch because we were/are in talks with Pitt for Porter Jr.
The proposed trade was a 1st, 3rd & Rake for Porter. So, both players were held out of the games so no injuries would occur.
Week 2 I am assuming the talks are ongoing and he is still potentially trade bait. We have plenty of mediocre CB’s so he isn’t needed anyway.
