Thumbs up on Lions draft // Michigan Panthers vibes // DCFC needs signings May 01, 2023

Show notes

Our show is in three parts. First, the Detroit Lions and their overall draft strategy, plus how D'Andre Swift ended up in the best position possible.

Fletcher went to the Michigan Panthers home opener at Ford Field and came back happy with the experience.

And, changes on the field need to happen at Detroit City FC - so what's next. Maybe some signings to make up for what was lost in the offseason, as we now know what we lost on offense?
