They also signed hard running RB Mohamed Ibrahim out of Minnesota with $100,000 guaranteed. I bet he makes the cut as well as Craig Reynolds.MichMash wrote: ↑Wed May 03, 2023 12:16 pmThe Lions apparently signed UDFA QB Adrian Martinez, the former four-year starter at Nebraska who transferred to Kansas State as a fifth-year eligible. Good dual-threat QB at Nebraska. Interesting note in the PFR link below that Martinez can serve adequately as a scout-team QB who can mimic other running QBs (namely, Justin Fields) in practice.moldyoldie wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2023 8:03 amKeep an eye on the UDFAs brought in, that's where the true hidden gems are found.

I'd say the above post of mine has aged pretty well.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Sat Apr 29, 2023 8:46 amI'm not particularly happy with the selections the Lions made last night. They drafted the wrong guy at TE (the jackasses should've drafted Mayer) and gave up too much capital for Martin. I'm not that much of a fan of the Hooker pick, either. In my opinion, they should've used that pick for a guy who's actually going to see appreciable playing time this coming season, not a guy who may or may not be a QB of the future. I realize I'm in the minority in terms of holding that viewpoint.
The one pick from yesterday that I do really like is Branch.
Pivoting back to day one, PFF gave the Lions low scores for each of their two first round selections (although, an argument could be made PFF was too harsh on the grade for the #18 pick, especially since LB is a position where the Lions needed more talent):

Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.

You nailed Branch, not so sure about LaPorta.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Sun Sep 24, 2023 6:30 pmI'd say the above post of mine has aged pretty well.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Sat Apr 29, 2023 8:46 amI'm not particularly happy with the selections the Lions made last night.

Re: 2023 NFL Draft
You're right about that. LaPorta has contributed meaningfully; Michael Mayer selected 34th overall by the Raiders didn't do shit his first two games (other than maybe laying some blocks) Am unsure about last night (stats have not yet updated).

In three games he has two targets with one reception for two yards. He caught a wide open two-point conversion last night.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Mon Sep 25, 2023 6:18 amYou're right about that.
