5/6 Daily Roar Roundup

5/6 DRR 🦁


We're collecting receipts! We are working on building out posts that include quotes, grades, analysis, and more on each of the Detroit Lions six draft picks.


News 


  • New Lions CB Ennis Rakestraw steals our hearts after sharing his fulfilled promise to a teacher that looked out for him. 



  • The Lions are not expected to earn any compensatory picks in 2025😭



“To qualify for compensatory picks, teams must end up with more qualifying free agents lost than gained in a particular year.” - Zierlien 


  • Former Detroit Lion DJ Chark signs with the Chargers 


Notes 


  • Brad Berremen (SideLion) identifies four players the Lions “should have drafted” instead of Giovani Manu.  The list includes two safeties and two edges, and one of the names on the list is a familiar one (last name rhymes with hockey) 



Quotes 


  • “He’s going to be Dave Fipp’s pet project.” - Erik Schlitt on Sione Vaki

  • “He’s a GRIT back.” - Ryan Matthews on Sione Vaki


Question of the Day🤔: What would you do to solve the Lions “need” at EDGE?
