Short term I'd agree, this was always the case even pre draft, he has the tools though to be an elite LT eventually not sure why people are pooing this post.

Still think our best line for THIS YEAR (had to bold so I don’t get poo’d on) would be:

LT - Christensen

LG - Ekwonu

C - Bozeman

RG - Corbett

RT - Moton

Just imagine CMC running behind a pulling Ickey.

I agree with this 100% and BC is the only one who isn't also an absolute road grader....

Pretty sure John Ellis said Ekwonu hasn’t taken a single rep at guard in camp. Switch Christensen and Ekwonu and I’d agree with you.

I don’t think he has either but I think this year he’s built to have immediate success as a guard while he learns how to deal with edge rushers who have elite speed. Don’t think it will happen but that’s okay. As long as Elflein and Jordan aren’t trotted out as starters on day one I’ll be happy.

I read that someone said, "Well, he got beat one play, but all Tackles do" or something to that effect.  I agree, but maybe once or twice per game.  When you give up one bad play and you were only in the game for eight plays or so, that really is not the best defense.  I think he will be fine, but he will have growing pains.

To me, Sewell (Lions) was the best, most sure-fire OT to come out of college in a decade.  He struggled for a half season or more.  So we will see.

He is not ready to start at LT at this point.  Not sure how long it will take.  He is just not recognizing where to be and who to pick up at this point.  Many more reps needed and films to watch.

Sewell is now a RT, or at least that is where they played him in their preseason game

The day he was drafted it was stated by team media that he was expected to be the RT.

Sewell is expected to slot into the open right tackle spot, which should really solidify Detroit's offensive line for years to come. With Taylor Decker (left tackle), Jonah Jackson (left guard), Frank Ragnow (center), Halapoulivaati Vaitai (right guard) and Sewell likely at right tackle, Detroit's offensive line will be talented, young and arguably their top position group heading into the 2021 season.

I stand corrected.  All the talking heads stuff I listen to should be taken with a grain of salt.  Sewell taking over during Decker hand injury had many saying that he belongs on left side where he was drafted to be and why he was drafted so high.  But yeah, Decker seems much better suited for left side and with his contract, the LIons look to be good to go.  Actually, I am pulling for the Lions a bit.  Like their coach

      Why I Believe That We Will Trade Down

      By Martin · Posted

      I complete disagree. Who is available is extremely relevant. If you have a couple of players you would be happy with and you can still get them if you trade back, you should do that in a heartbeat. Being afraid that people will lowball you next year is an odd stance. Then you just say no next year, problem solved. In this particular draft you can get a very good player at 46. But to each their own.

      I don't think so.  Watson really screwed them up.  I see something happening, but do not know what.  Cousins could be had in a trade--but they liked Flacco when he played there.  If it were me, I would not spend the #2 pick on Sanders.  I would go after a tier 2 qb because I think Will Howard is going to start in the NFL soon, and I think Ewers was rated very high at the beginning of the year--he knows adversity and he beat out a Manning while taking Texas to 2 playoff appearances.  I am not good at picking QBs, but I think Howard's run pass option and his accuracy is going to help someone.  Stay in Ohio and play for the Browns behind Flacco--

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      After Cam at #1, there are three or four elite players and there could be a trade--If I am the Giants and I am needed a winning season badly and I have several needs, I might trade out and pick up mid first and an extra second rounder, including a QB--while nobody is going to move up to #3 for Sanders, they might for Carter or Hunter.  If the Giants then move back, Sanders could still be in play.  That could be the trade in the top 3.  New England wants Campbell and I get that; Jacksonville at #5 could move back if someone wants Graham or Jeanty.  But barring some trade, the top 4 are probably locked in. So it could be 2 hours into the draft before we get any surprises. Nice list, by the way--you nailed it.
