| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone, and welcome to a very special episode of the Detroit Lions Breakdown podcast. |
| 0:05.9 | I'm Joe Kanya. |
| 0:06.7 | With me, as always, is Eric Schlett from USA Today, Lions Wire. |
| 0:10.6 | And we're doing a quick podcast here and just covering what happened yesterday in round one. |
| 0:16.0 | And looking forward to today's round two and three. |
| 0:18.6 | Eric, how's it going? |
| 0:20.4 | It's good. I wish we could |
| 0:22.5 | get a little bit more sleep in here between days one and two, but, you know, we just got to keep |
| 0:26.4 | rolling. You had quite the marathon yesterday, Eric, starting with Matt Shepard early in the morning, |
| 0:32.4 | all the way through the midnight end of the draft, and then all the extra work you had to do. I went straight to bed |

| 1:33.7 | uh they sure seem to be building the roster uh to add him as as the top guy and and like you said |
| 1:42.6 | three or five seem like the like the best range for them. |
| 1:47.7 | As it turns out, there was not a single offer that was officially made to the Lions, |
| 1:53.0 | even though there was plenty of discussions. They had talks with the Panthers, the Chargers, |
| 1:58.0 | the Dolphins, but no one actually officially made an offer. And I think a lot of |
