4:43

NFL Draft on YouTube or wherever you

4:45

get your podcasts. I wanted to get

4:48

that info show. All right.

4:50

Here's the news of the day. I

4:52

got a couple of text messages from friends

4:54

that say you got to go on the

4:57

clickondetroit.com website or the Dick's

4:59

website. By

5:02

the way, what's up brother? And a shout

5:05

out to Sketch. All right. So I go

5:07

to click on Detroit and here it is.

5:09

Did Dick's accidentally reveal new

5:11

Detroit Lions jerseys a day early?

5:13

Now again, tomorrow night at seven,

5:16

the Lions are revealing their jerseys and

5:18

uniforms to the masses, including season ticket

5:20

holders and season ticket members and everybody

5:22

else down at Ford Field.

5:25

On the Dick's website, they are now

5:27

selling these

5:29

jerseys, but no one knows if they're real,

5:32

if it's fake. No one's confirmed this. All

5:35

right. But a lot of

5:37

people are asking the question on social media.

5:39

If you go on the clickondetroit.com website and

5:41

look, I'm not going to get too much into

5:43

it because I don't know

5:45

if this is real or not, but there are

5:48

black uniforms, white uniforms, gray

5:50

jerseys, and blue jerseys

5:53

all on the site. The

5:56

key to all of these uniforms, I remember yesterday, for

5:58

those of you that missed it, the Lions Lions

6:00

did put out on social media a little bit of

6:02

a teaser. In the

6:04

teaser, it looks like there are no

6:07

stripes and it's just really a

6:09

clean look. On

6:11

the Dicks website, and then click on detroit.com

6:13

where the article is there, there

6:16

are black uniforms with the white Lions

6:18

and just blue numbers on the front.

6:21

The white uniform has blue Lions with

6:23

blue on the front, the numbers. Gray

6:26

uniforms, blue and Lions and

6:29

lettering with sort of grayish blue

6:31

numbers. There are no stripes anywhere

6:33

on these uniforms. Totally a clean look.

6:36

And then the blue jerseys with gray numbers

6:39

don't say Lions on them. It just

6:41

has the NFL logo at

6:44

the top. But those are

6:46

sort of more aqua than

6:48

we're used to seeing a little bit. But

6:51

those are really, really clean and kind of

6:53

look like the old throwbacks that the Lions

6:55

wore for many, many years. But

6:57

again, I'm not seeing any stripes on

7:00

the sides or on the

7:02

sleeves or anything like that. It is

7:04

a totally clean look, but

7:06

there are black, white, gray, and

7:09

blue all on the Dicks

7:11

website and on click on detroit.com. Here's

7:13

what I'll say. I'm

7:15

against black uniforms. I've said that. I love

7:17

the Lions colors. I don't know blue and

7:19

silver what the Lions colors are. When the

7:21

Lions went with the black uniforms years ago,

7:23

I just, I didn't like it. All

7:26

right. And I know I'm kind of in the minority on this

7:28

and I mostly like black uniforms and I love the

7:30

color black. Don't get me wrong. But

7:32

to me, this is an old school

7:34

franchise. This is a traditional franchise, a team that

7:37

was playing outdoors at the Briggs stadium in the

7:39

thirties and all these things. I

7:41

prefer to stay with the blue and silver.

7:44

All right. These silver jerseys, they

7:47

almost look grayish, but these silver

7:50

jerseys that are on the Dick's

7:52

website are more gray to

7:54

me than silver and don't look like the

7:56

color rush at all. But I love the

7:58

no stripes. I love the simplistic look. The

8:00

classic look something that Rod Wood had

8:02

talked about so go to click

8:04

on Detroit calm Or

8:06

even the Dix website if it's still up there and

8:09

and take a look for yourself. We'll have the

8:11

reveal again tomorrow night As

8:14

far as a mock draft to really

8:16

dive into today Dane

8:18

Brugler from the athletic comm put

8:20

out a lion put out a seven

8:22

round mock draft for every team Today

8:25

put out of just just a seven round mock draft

8:29

And went pick by pick which is

8:31

wild. All right a full

8:33

seven round mock and I'd

8:37

seen this today the Lions announced to the NFL

8:39

announced that the Lions are gonna have four there

8:41

are four young there are four kids From

8:45

some group that's going to announce the Lions pick at number 29

8:49

What if the Lions don't pick? All

8:51

right in the Dane Brugler full seven round

8:53

mock draft that came out today at the

8:56

athletic comm He has

8:58

the Lions trading pick 29 to

9:00

the Raiders in Exchange

9:03

the Lions get a second round pick

9:05

at number 44 and an

9:07

additional third round pick at 77 So

9:10

44 and 77 for 29 That

9:14

would then mean that everybody on Thursday that comes down

9:16

for the draft Hardcore lion fans

9:18

diehards are gonna be down there by the

9:20

stage or down the street watching or wherever

9:23

you you're going to be In

9:26

the crowd somewhere you would not you would go home without a

9:28

pick In

9:30

this mock draft Brugler has the Raiders moving up

9:32

to 29 so they can

9:34

get Michael panics the quarterback

9:36

from Washington The

9:40

Lions at pick 44 and day two Would

9:44

select Zach Frazier the

9:46

center slash guard from

9:48

West Virginia yesterday we talked about

9:50

it with Ryan McChrystal from sharp

9:55

sharp analytics and sharpen sharp football

9:58

analysis for Frazier

10:01

is a guy that Peter Schrager had in his

10:03

NFL network mock

10:05

draft. Daniel Jeremiah also mocked

10:08

him back in February to the Lions. So

10:11

Zach Frazier, an interior offensive lineman, slipping

10:13

to 44 on the Lions still get him

10:16

at 44. As you heard Ryan say

10:18

yesterday on the show, he thinks Frazier is pretty much a

10:20

center only. And again, that

10:23

would be best available and best on the board type

10:25

of pick for the

10:27

Lions who don't need a starting offensive lineman

10:30

right away. Not with a group that's coming

10:32

back next year with Decker, Glasgow, Ragnow,

10:36

Zitler and the

10:38

all everything right tackle, Panesul. So

10:41

that would be the 44th pick. Then

10:44

the Lions have their own pick at 61 in

10:46

the second round. And in

10:48

the Dane Bruigler mock draft, they have the Lions.

10:50

He has the Lions taking Braden Fisk defensive

10:53

tackle from Florida State. Interior

10:56

pass rusher could be

10:58

a starter, not real long, but

11:01

a guy that is a very, very solid

11:03

performer at the college level and

11:06

fast. Braden Fisk, the tackle at

11:09

61. Interesting to

11:11

me that the first two picks in this mock

11:13

draft are not starters. Braden

11:15

Fisk would not necessarily start for the Lions because

11:18

they have McNeil and Reeder. And

11:20

of course, Frazier wouldn't start because the Lions have Ragnow,

11:23

Zitler and Glasgow in case

11:25

unless there was some sort of injury early in the

11:27

year. At pick 73, the

11:31

Lions own third round

11:33

pick. Bruigler has Detroit

11:35

taking wide receiver Jaylen Polk from

11:37

Washington. I don't see Polk dropping

11:39

that far at 73. But

11:46

six, one and a half, 203

11:48

pounds outside receiver, big

11:50

body, good speed and

11:55

a need. The Lions need an outside

11:57

receiver. That would be pick 73. pick

12:00

77. Has

12:03

the Lions taking a corner back

12:05

with their extra third round pick?

12:08

Kalen Carson, who worked out for the team last

12:10

week, the cover man from

12:12

Wake Forest. We talked

12:14

about Carson and his versatility, can play inside,

12:16

can play outside. Was a four year starter

12:19

at Wake, very good tackler. Not

12:22

great in coverage yet, but a guy

12:24

with a lot of upside. He would

12:26

go to the Lions with their second

12:28

third round pick in this mock draft.

12:30

So we'd have Zach Frazier, Braden

12:33

Fisk, Jalen Polk, and Kalen Carson

12:35

as the first four picks in

12:37

this Dane Bruigler seven round mock

12:40

draft from the athletic.com. We'll

12:43

get you the rest of the picks from

12:45

this mock draft. We'll talk about Jared Goff

12:47

a little bit. And also the Lions new

12:49

apparent slogan for the year. We

12:51

will do all of that coming up next right

14:49

day, another show, locked on lions right here on

14:51

the locked on podcast network. Indeed your team every

14:53

day. Thanks for making us your first listen and

14:56

checking this out wherever you get your podcast,

14:58

Wednesday edition of locked on lions. We are

15:01

just one week and one day away

15:04

from draft night. Number one

15:07

right here in Detroit. Should be a lot of

15:09

fun. I see the stage going up, all this

15:11

stuff downtown. It is going to be

15:13

awesome. And our city is going to get some nice

15:16

publicity publicity and exposure. That is

15:18

for sure. All right. We

15:21

told you about the first four picks and

15:23

the Dane Bruvler mock the lines trading back

15:25

to have two second round picks and two

15:27

third round picks. In

15:29

the fourth round, Bruvler

15:32

has the lions at 164 selecting

15:35

Braden McGregor, edge

15:38

rusher from Michigan. So

15:41

a local boy coming home. You

15:44

remember McGregor from the 2022 recruiting class was

15:47

like the number one recruit for Jim Harbaugh. Is

15:50

he going to be the next Aiden Hutchinson? I don't know,

15:53

but really a solid, solid player who came

15:55

on this past year as a starter and

15:58

would be a backup and edge. You

16:00

know, he's got a really good motor, you know, Braden

16:02

McGregor plays very hard He had a really

16:04

good game in that national semi-final game right

16:07

out right onto the shoot Against

16:09

Alabama was getting in the backfield there

16:12

in that game So they go edge with

16:15

their fifth pick in this draft. What

16:18

is very very interesting about their

16:20

six? Two

16:23

picks that they have in the sixth round one

16:25

is a kicker What's

16:29

the rule? What's my guy Cleve TA

16:31

always say on Twitter at

16:34

CLVTA? never

16:36

draft kickers Will

16:38

Riker from Alabama Of

16:42

course drilled I think you drilled what a 52 yard

16:44

field goal in the Rose Bowl against

16:46

Michigan Would be picked number

16:48

201 Wouldn't

16:51

necessarily be against that they've got

16:53

to have competition for Michael Badgley We've

16:55

talked about Jake Bates from the Michigan

16:57

Panthers. But what if another team offers

16:59

him more money? We'll see and then

17:02

their second six round pick Would

17:05

be Cione Vaki the

17:08

safety from Utah now we know this

17:10

Vaki visited the Lions a Couple

17:14

weeks ago. He has been to Allen Park. I like

17:16

what broogler wrote in the piece He said if there's

17:19

a player in this draft who has bitten a kneecap

17:22

Vaki is that guy so there's no mystery

17:24

why the Lions are showing considerable interest in

17:26

the versatile safety and He

17:28

also played some running back from Utah The

17:32

only Vaki to me and I don't watch a ton

17:34

of Utah tape, but I've read enough about him If

17:37

he lasted until pick number 205, I'd

17:39

be very surprised very surprised

17:42

But if he's there we know the Lions need

17:44

another safety We know they have interest in

17:46

him because they brought him down Park and

17:48

outside of Melofon who and Kirby Joseph right now

17:50

They've got to add another safety. So

17:52

that would be an interesting pick certainly for the Lions At

17:56

pick 205 and then their last pick at 249

18:00

Johnny Dixon a cornerback from Penn

18:02

State when in doubt right

18:04

when you've got a Late

18:08

pick similar to when Lucas was taken

18:10

chase Lucas take a cornerback in the

18:12

seventh round You know,

18:14

so Johnny Dixon

18:16

man coverage corner Would

18:19

start off likely as a guy that would play a lot

18:22

of special teams Would be

18:24

your last pick lines would get to two

18:26

corners in this mock draft

18:29

a safety Kicker an edge

18:31

a receiver a defensive tackle and

18:33

an offensive lineman all positions that

18:36

we figured The Lions would fill

18:39

in this mock draft from Dane Bruggler. I

18:41

love Jaylen Polk from Washington I think he's

18:43

a really good receiver. I know the Huskies

18:46

were loaded You know Roma dunes a and

18:48

you know, they had a really good receiving

18:50

Corps, but Polk can really play And

18:53

I think Zack Frazier eventually is going to be a starter in

18:55

this league If Frank rag

18:57

now was considering retirement after this season and he's

18:59

so beat up and he's had so many injuries

19:03

You got to cover your bases there and

19:05

Frazier. Everybody says is

19:07

a lion's type of guy So

19:10

that is the seven round Dane

19:12

Bruggler mock draft at

19:14

the athletic dot-com Alright

19:18

saw something interesting Interesting

19:21

but everybody's been talking about it The

19:23

other day when I or yesterday when I was reading

19:26

on the Lions wire about Brock

19:28

right talking about hey, look I

19:30

really wanted to come back to Detroit. This is in this

19:32

place has meant everything to me. I'm glad that they Matched

19:36

the offer sheet from the Niners and everything

19:38

else But Brock Wright said yesterday at a

19:40

press conference as a team is holding voluntary

19:43

workouts down at 222 Um Quote

19:46

we've kind of been talking and

19:49

the motto for this season is it takes

19:51

more So I

19:53

think everybody will have to step up their game and

19:56

quote so I don't know if this is the

19:58

motto I don't know if it's up on the

20:00

wall and Alan Parker, I don't know if there's signage

20:02

being made, but it

20:04

takes more. Sounds

20:06

like the 2024 mantra

20:09

and slogan for this Lions

20:11

team. It's

20:14

pretty simple. It's,

20:16

you know, Brock Wright went on to say, hold on, quote,

20:19

I think it's everything. It's a holistic approach. Starts

20:21

at the top of Brad and Dan all the

20:23

way down. Coming here, starting OTA, it takes more

20:25

to prepare and then getting into training camp in

20:27

the season. Just got to go above and beyond

20:30

in every aspect, knowing that we

20:32

got so close last year, but

20:34

there's even more that we've got to do if

20:36

we want to win it all this year, end

20:38

quote. Look, here's the bottom line.

20:40

You know, there's been a lot of talk about expectations.

20:42

You know, the red wings, where

20:45

the expectations going into the season to make the

20:47

playoffs for some fans, yes. For others, they're like,

20:49

guys are playing year five. It's, you

20:52

know, still a young group, although they got older

20:54

as the season went on. Then when the wings

20:56

were tasting the playoffs during the season, everyone's like,

20:58

playoffs, we got to make it. Then of course they

21:00

struggled at the end of the year, had a

21:02

great last week, but they fell short. The

21:05

expectations for the Lions, it does take more if you

21:08

want to get to the Super Bowl. It

21:10

takes more like, takes more pass rush.

21:14

It takes more weapons on offense. It

21:17

takes more on the back end, in

21:20

that cornerback room, right? And

21:22

it's going to take some more from Dan

21:24

Campbell to want to utilize his

21:26

kicker a little bit more and have some

21:28

faith in his special teams. And

21:31

for Dan Campbell to even get better this year in

21:34

decision making. So yes, it takes more, I

21:37

think is good. This team practices

21:39

and plays very, very hard. I don't think

21:41

it's about effort. I

21:43

think it takes more talent, for

21:46

sure. And, you know,

21:48

a little bit of luck too, because in

21:50

that NFC championship game, the ball's bouncing off

21:52

people's face masks and going up into the

21:54

air. All

21:57

right, maybe Jaylen Polk, as we talked about in

21:59

this, turns out to

22:01

be better than Josh Reynolds, if he's on

22:03

the team or whatever it is. And he'll

22:05

catch that ball as opposed to Reynolds

22:07

dropping it. Little things, but I like

22:10

it takes more. But

22:12

I think this team needs to add

22:14

more talent defensively. Certainly they've

22:16

added more talent already with

22:18

DJ Rader, who's an upgrade, Carlton Davis, who's

22:20

an upgrade at positions of

22:22

need. I think they need another edge. We

22:26

talked about it. And, but

22:28

I like that. It takes more. The

22:31

expectations for everybody is going to be Super Bowl, winning

22:33

the NFC. I

22:36

think that's fair when you get to the NFC Championship

22:38

game. I think if they got back to

22:40

the NFC Championship game and played a similar type of game

22:42

or happen to come up short, I

22:44

don't think we're blowing the team up. I

22:47

don't think this window is small. This

22:49

is a young team. You know, a lot

22:51

of guys back for a long time. But

22:55

yeah, I mean, we're all thinking Super Bowl around here

22:57

because it's a really good team. But I

22:59

got news for you. Schedule is going to be hard and

23:02

the division is going to be better. What

23:04

did Jared Goff have to say about a

23:07

new contract with the Lions? He spoke yesterday.

23:09

We will get into that coming up next

23:12

right here on Lockdown Lions. All

23:19

right, so I told my wife about

23:21

this and she is very, very excited.

23:23

Very excited. That is because Monopoly Go

23:26

is with us here

23:29

on Lockdown Lions. We've all been there either as

23:31

a player or a fan. It's halftime and the

23:33

scoreboard's not looking good, right? You're feeling low. Not

23:35

sure you or your team can pull out a

23:37

win. That's when you dig deep, lift

23:39

your head up and say to yourself, time to get back

23:41

23:44

bank heist and take as much of my friend's

23:46

money as I possibly can. That's right. The

25:06

we've touched on it right here on LO

25:08

Lions here a couple times. Jared Goff

25:10

is gonna get paid. And

25:13

Jared Goff might get 50 million

25:15

dollars. Her cousin's making 45. Haller

25:18

Murray's making 47. Deshaun

25:20

Watson's at like 45-46. And now it's

25:23

time to pay the piper. Jared Goff has

25:26

one year left of his contract, but I

25:28

don't think the Detroit Lions want to go

25:30

into, you know, next season

25:32

without getting a deal done. I think

25:34

they'll want to lock up Ahma and

25:36

Rasane Brown, Aline McNeil, Jared Goff, among

25:39

others. Maybe even Taylor Decker. Goff was

25:41

asked yesterday in

25:43

Allen Park about a contract

25:46

extension because he's going to earn this season

25:48

22.3 million dollars and

25:51

it has a cap pit of a 32.3 million dollars.

25:57

You know, like we talked about speculation.

26:00

is it could be a 50 million dollar deal. Adam

26:02

Schefter was on with us the other day and said the same thing. Goff

26:06

did acknowledge the talks have gone on when he

26:08

was asked about it at voluntary

26:10

workouts yesterday. Quote, there have been discussions,

26:12

but I'll leave it at that. He

26:15

added, it's been amazing, man. I love it here. I

26:18

would love to be here for a long time. Really

26:20

special. Like I said, play in front of these fans,

26:22

being able to provide a winning culture in the last

26:24

year and a half or so and see them experience

26:26

that and be a part of that has been fun.

26:29

By no means are we satisfied or happy to be out

26:31

here or any of that. It's about

26:34

what's next. End quote. You

26:37

love hearing that from Jared Goff and let's be

26:39

honest here, he's a real leader. He's

26:42

been great. It's been better than

26:44

I thought. Expectations for him I thought

26:46

were kind of mid. Like

26:49

I didn't expect that much. The

26:51

Jared Goff that we saw in the first year, there were some

26:53

highs and lows, but what didn't take care

26:55

of the football. Let's start of the second

26:57

half of last of two seasons ago and then all

26:59

of last year leading this team to

27:01

nine wins, 14 wins this

27:04

past year, 12 plus the two playoff wins.

27:06

Jared Goff is the quarterback here. And

27:09

you've got to kind of give him what he wants. He's

27:11

got more of the leverage than anybody else, right?

27:14

Now, can you franchise tag him after this year?

27:17

Yes, but I don't think the Lions want

27:19

to do that. Does the organization

27:21

maybe think he's more in that $47

27:23

million range right around where Kirk Cousins

27:25

is after Kirk

27:27

got four at 180

27:30

from the Falcons or could

27:33

Goff get a five in front of the

27:35

number and get $50 million

27:37

and join the likes of Joe Burrow and

27:40

the others that are in that $50 million range. It's

27:43

not about who the better quarterbacks are sometimes. It's

27:45

about timing. Remember, Cousins was once the

27:47

highest paid quarterback in the league. Matthew Stafford, when

27:49

he signed with the Lions, on

27:52

his third contract, was the highest paid

27:55

quarterback for a while. So

27:57

I like that Jared Goff has

27:59

acknowledged it. I like that he has brought

28:01

it up and said look we're having some talks. That's good.

28:04

He wants to be here He's under 30 So

28:08

I would expect the Lions to hopefully get something done

28:10

after the draft when they can focus on that and

28:13

they know What their roster really looks

28:15

like after they draft players and that's

28:17

where their focus is right now But

28:20

I'm happy that Jared Goff is acknowledged the talks

28:22

have gone on We

28:24

know in the past the Lions have let too

28:27

many people walk this regime seems to get it

28:29

this ownership Gets it But

28:32

now they've got to take care of their guy Look

28:35

at all of these teams are trying to trade

28:38

up look at all these teams that are jockeying

28:40

for position To maybe get

28:42

JJ McCarthy who's no luck To

28:45

be a good NFL quarterback right

28:49

Caleb Williams was you know

28:51

is everybody's number one pick right to watch

28:53

him this year at USC. There

28:56

were some games. He was terrible Hero

28:58

ball throwing interceptions crying on the

29:00

sidelines Moping that's

29:03

the number one pick There's

29:06

no lock he's gonna be great You've got a guy

29:08

that for the last two years has really looked the

29:10

part and in the past has played in Super

29:12

Bowls You've got to lock those

29:14

guys up. I Think that's

29:16

what the Lions are gonna do with Jared

29:19

Goff This has been a
