| 0:00.0 | All right, welcome in. So we have we have we have bumped what we were going to do here |
| 0:07.0 | because this is quite simply the single worst mock draft I've ever seen. |
| 0:13.2 | And it's a two-rounder where the Lions have four picks. And I hate all four selections. |
| 0:19.5 | Not dislike, hate, hate. And Matt Miller, who did this, honestly, I am speechless. |
| 0:29.0 | Totally speechless at everything I'm seeing. So I'm going to take you through this and you can do |
| 0:34.0 | whatever you want. You could tell me it's okay. You could tell me Mike, it's not that bad. You could |
| 0:39.4 | tell me, you know, we don't know how it'll play out. You do whatever you want. I'm telling you |
| 0:44.9 | in totality, if this is what this franchise came home with with these four picks, I would be |
| 0:53.0 | live it. Live it. It's it's malfeasance. But here we go. So let's start out at pick six. |
| 1:01.9 | The Lions select corner out of Illinois Devin Witherspoon. What? In a year where there's no premium |

| 1:38.0 | Now you'll go, okay, well, who could they have gotten smart guy? Well, for instance, |
| 1:43.3 | two players that I've mentioned that I like quite a bit that were taken in the picks following. |
| 1:48.7 | One is a big time linebacker at Arkansas, who was a Bama transfer, a kid named Drew Sanders. |
| 1:54.8 | He was their best player. He's great in the run game. Very instinctual. Nine and a half sacks. |
| 2:01.2 | He's a blitzer. He's big time. Okay. Drew Sanders at 23 ended up at the Vikings. |
| 2:07.6 | And I'll give you another one. And I've mentioned him. So it's not like I'm making it up. |
| 2:11.2 | Was Osiris Torrance, who at the NFL level projects as a guard. Six six three thirty five. |
| 2:19.8 | You know, it might be interesting to line him up next to school for a team that wants to |
| 2:26.9 | continue pummeling opponents. Right. Now I'm not telling you guard is your biggest need. |
