I’m expecting at least one of Starling Thomas, Steven Gilmore, and Chase Lucas to make the roster. Particularly with how Emmanuel Moseley’s injury timeline is questionable. Outside CB depth is Cam Sutton, Jerry Jacobs, Will Harris*, and then the others. Harris asterisk because he is a depth swiss army knife for the DBs. The opportunity is there for someone to emerge. I also didn’t realize that Steven Gilmore is Stephon Gilmore’s younger brother. Strong history of success in the family there.
Long ways to go, but it’s great to see promise from the draft class and several UDFAs.AAL 2023 - Alim McNeill

In the 40 plus years I’ve been following this team, I’ve never seen a lions coaching staff have the ability (and the willingness) to develop rookies and then plug them into meaningful roles.
Whether it was Mooch with his infamous “I hate rookies” speech to any number of coaches who decided to overpay old guys who used to play for them rather than developing young players themselves…
man this is refreshing

Actually thought this was going towards the Johnson’s joke from Blazing Saddles.
…
I’m skeptical about BOTH Mims and Green making the roster. Keeping 6 WRs with St. Brown, M Jones, Reynolds, Raymond, Mims, and Green.
The two seem redundant when it comes to the value they bring as a WR. While there’s been reported flashes and some reps with the 1s, I haven’t heard enough to suspect they have both earned a spot. Goes without saying that there’s plenty of time to figure it out and injuries will happen somewhere. Seems like the bubble is crowded at this point.
Meanwhile, sounds like Logan Stenberg is done with the Lions. He had pressure to emerge this season and hasn’t risen up the depth chart.

Wonder who the next sticky practice squad Lions WR will be…. Dylan Drummond or Chase Cota 🤔

I’m sure most of you have watched Inside the Den episode 3, but just in case. Posting below. Fantastic review of the 2023 Lions draft class. My favorite part was the Brian Branch trade/ being drafted section.
* I think Holmes has been working on his "man" to sentence ratio. Good progress there. DC has some work to do though, but it sounds genuine coming from him.
* Is it weird that I thought Sheila was generally the least cringy person on the calls?
* For some reason I get a kick out of Barry Sanders introducing himself. "Hi, I'm Barry". As if anyone doesn't know that.
* Barry talking basketball to Gibbs in the car ride is, unfortunately, on brand.
* I now believe that the Lions truly had their first 4 picks rated in the 1st round. It does mean their board was quite a bit different than most others. Is their scouting process that much better or are they just trying to be the smartest in room by being different? We shall see.
* My favorite pick of the draft is Jack Campbell. I've been wishing for a great LBer for a long time. They've had so many disappointments at this position.
* The predraft interviews were ... wild. The coach snatching Campbells notes ... WTF?
* Didn't like the Gibbs pick as there's almost zero chance he makes it to a second contract. But there's a good chance he contributes alot and relatively cheaply for a few years. Definite "win now" kinda pick and I don't mind that.
