Big Detroit Lions fan & NFL draft nerd (& sports in general) since I was a kid. Decided to start an NFL Draft Podcast since I do NFL Draft scouting for fun.

@tangotiger I paused that at :00 and it looks like the ball wasn't snapped yet. Am I seeing that right?

@bszewc @hockeyfights A MATCH is a major, but for intent to injure and rarley called. You get a total of 10 mins, but only 5 count on the ice. A 5:00 minute MATCH comes with an indefinite suspension for player until a hearing w/minimum 3 game and up to max 10 game suspension if match is confirmed.

[thedraftbeardpodcast @thedraftbeard]

@HockeyHugs10 @PhilDeG @usahockey I read he got 5:00 major, game, and 2:00 for roughing. I hope that is wrong because that is a match penalty all day long.

@LoganARobison @erikfinancehelp And how does Carvan make money? The back end. The own a Finance company, GAP insurance company, warranty company etc. The car is almost a loss leader to get to the rest. In fact, most dealers profit comes from the back end of the deal and not selling the vehicle.

@SeanPBali @DetroitRedWings I totally agree, but when I looked at from the angle I tweeted about I wasn't as pissed. I thought Cossa as a kicker in a Larkin trade made the most sense.

[thedraftbeardpodcast @thedraftbeard]

@ZDegs17 @TFG_Football That is the issue. That a MLB is lumped in with some Edge rushers is dumb. Both the @NFLPA and @NFL not fixing this is baffling.

[thedraftbeardpodcast @thedraftbeard]

@LedyardNFLDraft @SpecialK977 Moore just fits better how they want to use their Edge's. Set the edge and also moving up and down the line from wide-9 to 3 tech. I also know Brad has said the last few drafts they had an Edge target & missed them or couldn't get a deal to move up. That might have been a factor

[thedraftbeardpodcast @thedraftbeard]

@Brentley12 @usaydkoshul The copycat league pushing all these tight ends much higher, the huge "reaches" by some teams like the 49ers and most notably the absolutely out of the box draft by the @jaguars are the biggest factors in driving the discussion this year.

[thedraftbeardpodcast @thedraftbeard]

@falconsufferer @FantasyKash Too many coaches have system/scheme bias then adjusting to players they have on their roster. Scheme and usage are an important factor in player success.

[thedraftbeardpodcast @thedraftbeard]

@nickwithsports @CFB_Dalton 100% to both. Ex: local draft media here in Det. knew that the @Lions NOT likely to draft Young due to DWI & UM/MSU incident. @NFLSEshow insta rx to Moore over Young on @BleacherReport show might have been diff given more info/context. Both fit @Lions play, but 1 fit culture.

[thedraftbeardpodcast @thedraftbeard]

@JeffRisdon Great pick. Had him at 58 on my board. Versatile. Had a Amik/Kendall Fuller type comp. So far a really solid old Holmes type of draft.

[thedraftbeardpodcast @thedraftbeard]

@MichaelShan10 @colton_pouncy @dpbrugler He can play some man to, but your right and it might show some adjustment to the scheme. Better in Cover 1 or 3 with some man-match capabilities. Had a 3rd round grade.

[thedraftbeardpodcast @thedraftbeard]

@TheGreyManes @DetroitOnLion Need more national guys to have more local team guys on their pods to get a better prospective. Here is looking at you @NFLSEshow @TampaBayTre @ConnorJRogers Most in Detroit knew Zion was not going to the @Lions with a DWI. Moore was perfect scheme fit & needed to jump @Ravens

[thedraftbeardpodcast @thedraftbeard]

@davebirkett @freep I have an unhealthy draft man crush on Jacob Rodriguez. My favorite player in this draft and #11 on my Big Board. He would totally be a Brad Holmes pick.

[thedraftbeardpodcast @thedraftbeard]

@RecepPerception Skyler Bell is WR 5.

[thedraftbeardpodcast @thedraftbeard]

@erikschlitt Exactly. How many tall, big, athletic tackles with weight fluctuation issues have panned out recently? Every one I can remember in the last 10 years hasn't.

[thedraftbeardpodcast @thedraftbeard]

@Elite_Drafters Top 100 player for me. McCaffrey lite. Fun player to watch.

[thedraftbeardpodcast @thedraftbeard]

@SWNGTraderJoe @hxxntrr I don't recall many lenders even allowing a 3% mark up. Almost all I encounter are a 2% max bump. Most credit unions don't allow any mark up.
