And we are back, folks, here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTCA, online at the

big 1050.com, Sam Webb, I rewind, travel on the other side, and Steve Clark back with us for

the midweek peak. And Steve, tomorrow, it all goes down. The NFL draft used to be the

Lion's Super Bowl. Now we aspire to go to an actual Super Bowl, and it seems realistic to do so.

The deal is now, in my opinion, Steve, though that this draft has got to hit on, I mean, hit immediately at some positions of need for the Lions to be back in that

Super Bowl conversation, just my two cents. I'm curious. Your thoughts heading into this Super Bowl,

I mean, into this NFL draft.

Yes, aren't we? I think the Lions are in a little bit of a difficult position right now because now their needs seem to be greater than what they needed the last two years.

And now with all the low picks that, you know, the bears and the Vikings and now the Packers, they're starting to build back up.

And, you know, can Green Bay get their quarterback situation figured out, get some talent around the outside to be able to be

formal? They've certainly got the defense to be Super Bowl where the Chicago seems to be on

an express run from the back of the pack to, you know, playoff contenders.

And Minnesota kind of influx about what they're going to be able to make it.

They have the team, but J.J. McCarthy has got to be able to excel.

And so anyway, the NFL North in the NFC is looking to be one of the most formidable in all of football.

And we're questioning whether the lion's window of opportunity has already passed or whether last year was a blip in getting back to where they were.

And so the lions are picking at 17.

They have multiple needs.

And it's a consensus from everybody out there that if you want to keep that offense humming,

you better look at the offensive line because that was a guarantee,

can't miss.

And now they've got holes.
