| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the Detroit Lions Breakdown podcast. I'm Joe Kenya. With me, as always, is Eric Schlett from pride of Detroit.com. Eric, last Sunday, there was some sort of football game. It was the Super Bowl. I think it was the 56th edition of the Super Bowl. The Rams ended up winning. But that's not what we're here to talk about. We're here to talk about the Detroit Lions off season rolling on. And discussion to the rebuild. Go ahead, Eric. I was going to say, do you want to, like, I mean, spend one minute? I mean, like, Lions get the 30-second pick now because the Rams won. Yeah, 31 or 32. That's the difference. Yeah, and not much, right? |

| 0:46.2 | And again, this is. |
| 0:47.8 | Oh, the Rams? Yeah, this is relevant to the lines. |

| 1:29.6 | And so there's a handful of those guys that they'll have a really hard time retaining. |
| 1:35.4 | There's potential to lose a couple of their starters because, you know, they won't be able to afford |
| 1:41.0 | them. So it'll be interesting to see how it plays out. |
| 1:45.0 | You know, they managed to get it done. |
