Great write up. Not taking issue with you at all, but after all the resources we put into CB last year - FA and draft - it’s very frustrating to hear the suggestion that we need to expend yet another high draft pick.

On Engstrand, I wonder how widely known AG's interest in him was, and whether that was one of the deciding factors for going external on the OC hire.

When it comes to Justin's all-time team all I can say is this younger generation don't know nothing.

In fairness, the question was based on when Justin started covering the team. Perhaps go ahead and start a thread in the chatroom on your all-time Lions team. I'm sure it will generate some interesting discussion. I started watching in 1977, so I can contribute some names.

Great mailbag! Your all-time Lions team would be amazing (agree on the QB). And I forgot all about Darrell Bevell (selective memory?) - Hope he's enjoying Miami. Seems like he deserves another coordinator gig.

Who's got the best job in the world, you or Dan Miller?

I love the mailbag, the only thing better is that we're getting another one tomorrow! Excellent questions from the DFN gang! Well done by everyone.

Great read! Wish I thought to ask: what’s your post season, end of year 1 self assessment? Did it go as planned? Is there anything that you would like to do differently? What challenges did you not anticipate? Is it too early to say that you are a trail blazer and the rest of the beat writers suck and should just quit? (Ok maybe that last question is a bit harsh)
