Lions picks: 1st - CB Arnold. 2nd - CB Rakestraw. 3rd - CB Carlton Davis ;)
Can't really badmouth Brad, and can't fault him for finding last year's DB room a mess.
Now a really long wait. Wonder if 5th/6ths will produce at least once OL. Maybe WR too? Or a long shot at Edge?
Vikings draft is going to be quite a study.
McCarthy & Turner are a good pair. But it cost Minnesota 5 picks this year (2 1st, 4th, 2 5ths) and 2 next year (3rd & 4th) for a 6th and those two players.
What a day.
Penei Sewell 4 year extension. $112M. $85M guaranteed.
Wondering if this and ASRB's contract are more front-loaded given the guaranteed $, in hopes of keep as many of their key players as possible down the line.
Goff news soon?

Songs that made my "known"...
And once again, we reach the top, with the #1s. For the record, I only listened to “All Along the Watchtower” once. No disrespect to it, but 4 times so close together could’ve dulled the impact, at least. Speaking of impact, let’s get to the last round of “selected” songs for this countdown...
The #2s appropriately came with some pairs, between “Where Did You Sleep Last Night?”, “Hey Jude”, and of course “Respect” that I shared with Galileo. Lots to love here, as always. Of course, Real Life interfering means that there’s more focus on the #1s and the end of this countdown. But let me...
I feel that. New plan is #2s today, and #1s tomorrow. Hopefully some stuff tonight too. But first:

#2 Respect - Aretha Franklin (Otis Redding)
Orignal: Spotify; Youtube
Not surprisingly, this song settled in quickly to a high spot on my list. It was #1 for a while, and certainly some days it...
The #3s were unexpectedly unfamiliar territory, with if not the most unknown songs in the list, certainly up there. Some of that’s on me, for sure, but it certainly made for a (good) change of pace. Because of that, there were far more candidates for my second category than my first. In the end...
#3 Hurt - Johnny Cash (Nine Inch Nails)
Original: Spotify; Youtube
When starting the process of making the list, I wrote down Hurt as one of the songs I knew were covers. Most of them made it to the list, though I wondered if "Hurt" was more of a placeholder. After all, there's plenty of...
The #4s naturally had a good mix of the familiar, though it was the first time in a while where only 1 song on my playlist was on another. There still some big premiers here too, both songs I probably should’ve considered more and ones I didn’t know.
Recognized by title alone: 23

#4 Where Did You Sleep Last Night? - Nirvana (Traditional)
Lead Belly - Spotify ; Youtube
Mark Lanegan -Spotify ;Youtube
In their Unplugged show, Nirvana credit Lead Belly for the inspiration to perform this song, and it's his interpretation of it that this version echoes the most. So the...
For the #5s, I decided to do something a little different. Favorites were mostly songs I knew, but had forgotten that it was a cover, or simply didn’t know. But that left some stuff off. Same for thinking about the covers I liked best. So I decided to go five (of course?) deep for the Shout Out...
#5 Shambala - Three Dog Night (B.W. Stevenson)
Original -Spotify ; Youtube'
"Shambala" was written by Daniel Moore in 1973, and according to secondhandsongs, had seven releases that year (some of them no doubt spurred by the songs' success). Three Dog Night's came out second, a few weeks later...
