Matt, is that you?

There was some talk a while back that the Lions were going after Freeman with the #20 pick, don't know what the latest is on that.

On a related note, take it for what it's worth but Culpeper is reportedly looking like the Daunte from his prime in Minnesota these days

That actually says a lot about their thought process. His knee injury a few years back was so severe, I'm not surprised it's taken a significant amount of time to get back to form. He's only a few months older than Tom Brady. He's got plenty of miles left.

I always liked Culpepper. I hope he does well.

It should be noted that the Lions are reportedly also negotiating with Stafford and Curry

I think they're just being smart with trying to see who they can work a contract with before the draft. Didn't the Texans do the same thing with Bush and Williams a couple of years ago?

I think they are doing what any team with the #1 pick should be doing. It just looks smart b/c of the past history of mismanagement in that team.

I think Culpepper is pretty serious. He lost about 20 lbs when he reported to camp. His teammates were calling him a "new man". He was playing at around 290 lbs despite his listed weight being much lower. I dunno, your QB doing that SHOULD have a positive effect on the locker room.

Good for him since he is arguably the third best tackle.

Sounds like my mindset when I hear "closing time".

at the number 1 spot, it's not a question of that team being willing to trade down, but more so, are there any teams who want to trade up and pay a gross amount of money to someone who has yet to play a down in the NFL.

Good question

A lot of teams are calling the Lions about the #20 and #33 picks, and the Lions have been trying to trade the #1 pick but people aren't interested.

The combine has been proven over and over again to be fools gold.
