Sorry Sam, but I don’t think Brad & Dan are concerned about Arnold. He is Him and they know it. It just so happened that, once again, the Draft Gods granted them a really good player at a position of need in Rakestraw and they weren’t going to pass on another Him. You are 💯correct about them following their process. It just doesn’t conform to “general terms” because in general terms don’t apply to Brad & Dan. Good job once again.

Look at the contracts in the rest of the CB room. Rakestraw is not a contingency plan, but a smart building block moving forward.

Rakestraw will play in the slot allowing Branch to move to safety A++ move

I don’t know if you’re a Lions fan, but Rakestraw was repping there in rookie minicamp. Also, Amik Robertson and Emanuel Moseley can play the slot. Campbell has said the plan is to get Branch at safety this season.

I'm rewatching last season, full game, I've made it to the Dallas game. One thing that I kinda already knew but am being reminded of is Safety, Ifeatu Melifonwu is an absolute stud playmaker. I know PFF likes him too which tells me when he's not making splash plays that he's not out of place. Hopefully all are good and everyone stays healthy but we know that won't happen therefore we will need them all eventually.

Im 38yrs old. Ive been a fan since 1991/92. Ive seen some heartbreaking shit lol. Luckily, we had The Red Wings. 25yrs straight in the playoffs. We went to 6 Cup finals and won 4 of them. Should've won 5, but thats a different discussion lol. We had some decent Lions teams from time to time. But the way Brad Holmes, Speilman and Campbell are building this team is special. I kinda reminds me of the way The Wings started building their team after the 1995 Stanley Cup Finals loss. We just keep hitting our draft picks, we rarely miss. If we can keep doing that and add a couple soild players in FA and stay relatively healthy. We will be very hard to beat..

Why does Sam feel the Rakestraw is was made sole in case Arnold isn't any good?! Or a position of great weakness for 3 seasons, why not grab your two future starting CBs now!

Again, Rakestraw is not a contingency....he was BPA on the Lions board--like all of Holmes picks.

15 or 16 consecutive games to pull that off. The former only if the Lions win a first round playoff bye.

Wait...so they got Arnold which is awesome because he might be the missing piece. But they also got Rakestraw and doubled down because they might have gotten it wrong??? I can follow the logic of how these "analysts" got there, but I highly doubt that's what the front office intended.

Yes sir. And his GPS says he's got excellent top end speed. With our oline should be fun. I'd draft at least 1 day 3 RB every year because you're essentially getting a 2/3rd rd talent relative to other position. Too much value as nobody drafts them anymore.

Lions Era

Rakestraw was a depth pick. They simply needed that many corners.

The lion should be good this year. A lot of unforseen coming this year. It'll be crazy betting.

Arnold was supposed to go at 9 to 14. Trading earlier at that level, would have "justified" giving up even additional 2nd round draft pick!!!

Go Lions!

You know what I miss? Being the only guy around wearing Lions gear. I’ve had season tickets since age 19 in 1994. I spent decades being harassed and ridiculed. Don’t get me wrong, success is what I’ve patiently waited for, but for whatever reason it bugs me that everyone loves them now. Where were you in 2008?

Why hes 29, unproven and camp hasn't started yet

I don't see Rakestraw as a contingency pick. Holmes doesn't operate that way. I think they see Arnold and Rakestraw as the #1 and #2 corners starting in 2025. Davis is on a one year deal and he's most likely gone after this season. Sutton played like crap and then fought the law and the law won. The team was going to be thin as hell come 2025 because none of the other guys on the roster, outside of Mosely, has a chance of being a starting corner. I like the Robinson kid from the Raiders but I see him as a nickel with Branch sliding into a full-time safety role. This daft class is going to depend on what they can get out of Mahogany and Wingo. I'm afraid McNeil is gone after this year. If they were going to sign him they would have. He'll be a 20-million dollar player when he hits FA and with Hutch needing a deal I don't see him re-signing with the club. They are going to need a guard to step in after this season and hopefully Mahogany is that guy. The O-line has to get younger. If Wingo can replace McNeil the team will be set. If not, DT becomes a big-time priority in the 2025 draft. The only pick I didn't like was Manu. Not that I minded them taking a flyer, but giving up a third-round pick for a project from Canada who may not have even been drafted? That's my only critique on Holmes. Sometimes he gets it in his head that a lineman is better than anyone else but him realizes and he way over pays and over drafts that player. Last year it was Martin, the 360 pound human overpass who looked about as nimble as the old fella I see strolling by every morning with his walker. I mean, I imagine he's great for the employees at the nearest Golden Corral and he probably added five digits to the local Uber-Eats income but he has bust written all over him. Just like Paschal, just like Onwuzurike, and just like his decision to reward Charles Harris, a first-round bust who bounced around from team to team and got rewarded by Homes for one mediocre season. After he got paid? He went right back to sucking on a major level, being the ultimate underperformer he had always been. I hope Manu can become something but to draft a guy who had never played against anyone beyond American level high school ball in the fourth round and to trade next years third round pick to do it? Yeah, he's big, and ya can't coach big, but he is raw as a high school sophomore. It will take two, most likely three years to find out what he might be. But, Brad has put together a great roster so we'll see. I just wish he would hire someone whose only job would be to scout and recommend linemen. He got Hutch and Sewell right but as for the rest, outside of McNeil, not so much. Time will tell and I like the rest of the draft. Go get em Lions!

Nothing they did in the off-season fundamentally changes anything going into this year. It's a good team but cmon man.
