Lions select LSU DT Mekhi Wingo in the sixth round. A top-100 (No. 95 overall) prospect on @dpbrugler's big board (No. 9 DT). They get him at No. 189. Quick first step. Interior pass-rush juice. Excellent value here. Adds to the defensive tackle depth.
Day 3 quotes from @BenjaminSRaven: “He was a STUD on my college fantasy team.”
Sione Vaki: "I'm gonna play wherever they need me to play."
Worth noting: Sione Vaki says his visit with the Lions was for the offensive side of the ball. Met with offensive coaches.
"I think he feels better about the edge position than a lot of people think."
"I think he feels better about the edge position than a lot of people think."
Giovanni Manu: "I look up to Penei a lot. ...I think he's the best tackle in the league right now." Says he heard a message from Sewell years ago, speaking to Polynesian kids playing football, letting them know anyone can make it like he did. Manu says it motivated him.
The Lions met with Sione Vaki multiple times during the pre-draft process. Have to think they love his versatility. Played safety and running back at Utah. Love the fit. Feels like a Brad Holmes guy.
#Lions give up 164, 201, and 2025 4th rounder to Eagles for 132 and 210. At 132, Detroit selects S Simone Vaki from Utah.
Mocked Vaki to the Lions earlier this week. He's a football player. theathletic.com/5433051/2024/0…
LION
Campbell and GM Brad Holmes were hired to jumpstart a franchise that lacked a plan for sustained success. Now, the duo have Detroit favored to win its division. "We’ve gone through a lot of darkness." @colton_pouncy from the archives ⤵️ theathletic.com/4828299/2023/0…
Everyone in the Lions' draft room is wearing Dan Campbell jerseys 🔥 🎥 @Lions
Giovanni Manu fits the profile of a developmental tackle with down-the-road upside. The Lions could use some tackle depth, and while Manu will need time to develop, he's athletic and long and moves well in space.
A #NFLDraft for the records!
Lions GM Brad Holmes on the concept of positional value and his “positional villain” hoodie:
For Lions GM Brad Holmes, the chance to draft two cornerbacks was twice as nice theathletic.com/5451681/2024/0…
Holmes with a positional value speech at the end of his presser that is very much worth your time lol

kingsley to the chiefs might be favorite pick of the entire draft so far
Interesting that the league changed the font today for “the pick is in”
@colton_pouncy @texasspartan2 That shutdown was 7 years ago. They cleaned everything up so long ago. The patio is the best pizza eating experience in the area. Not my favorite place for Detroit-style carryout but if we’re going to sit down it’s there.
@colton_pouncy The pizza is top notch and it's really a great spot to hang on the patio.

@colton_pouncy Have loved your incisive, witty, and honest coverage ever since you took the Lions assignment, Colton. Your live posts from home turf have made draft week even more fun to follow. The beat is better with you on it. Thanks for all you do, good sir. 🫡
@colton_pouncy Exactly in line with what I was thinking
@colton_pouncy Hell yeah, brother. Fun fact I just learned: did you know that former MSU QB Payton Thorne and WR Jayden Reed went to middle school together???
@colton_pouncy "A dawg of the highest order" remains one of my favorite lines I've read on The Athletic. Grateful that we've got you on the beat, Colton
@colton_pouncy I mean as soon as I saw the trade announced last night I knew who the Lions were taking bc I’ve been reading your stuff.
@colton_pouncy I just have to tell you, Colton, how impressed I have been with your reporting and analysis during this draft process. I have loved reading you since you started covering MSU and the accuracy and insight you offer into the Lions’ process is astounding. 👏👏👏
@colton_pouncy It felt so good to hear 100% positive talk about Detroit THE CITY last evening. This is the type of stuff that helps shift public perceptions. We’ve needed this
