was disappointed on your last podcast with the poor analysis on campbell and his coverage skills from will without a challenge. throwing out stats without eyeball analysis is such a amateur take used by weak bloggers, similar to listening to reisman at pod. defining who's man is who's and sorting out quick slants that a lb has no chance in coverage is needed beyond the pff stats. here cambell is the #1 lb in the nfl and will males him sound like he is a huge liability. not saying this stat is any better than pff but watch some tape beyond citing stats. https://www.depth-charts.com/lb-rankings

I don't see any long term extension for Branch until he shows he can get somewhat close to the player he was pre-injury. If LaPorta has any back issues in camp do they give him an extension?

the humor in this is the confirmation that most national sport media "experts" are dumber than the average sports fan and they do this for a living. numerous gave the lions an "f" in this draft and/or ridiculed reaching for gibbs and campbell including the genius mel kiper. they have no f%$§ing clue who was reaching but rather just going off of their amateur uninformed "boards". hats off to the lions for hitting a homerun in this draft
