| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of the Detroit Lions Breakdown podcast. I'm Joe |
| 0:05.0 | Kenya with me as always is Eric Schlett from USA Today LionsWire and we're going to talk about |
| 0:09.7 | all things Lions Eric. It's been a little while since we last talked and that time the Lions |
| 0:15.1 | have used it to further bolster their special teams but not too much loudness on offense or defense. |
| 0:23.7 | And this week, we're going to go through listener questions when it comes to each position and the draft, right? |
| 0:30.0 | Yeah. Yeah, we're going to hit it. We got a boatload of questions this week. |

| 1:29.7 | yesterday was that two teams have taken two off their board because of his medical saying that |
| 1:37.8 | they didn't pass him and one of those teams happens to be a team that's in the top 10. |
| 1:43.4 | I don't believe it at this point with what they know and where he's progressing. |
| 1:50.1 | I mean, it's possible that teams have more stringent, you know, restrictions, |
