First round picks that I really liked a lot: Harrison, Alt, Odunze, McCarthy (sorry, Lions fans), Arnold, Robinson, Legette.

Two that I didn't get: Penix to the Falcons, Bowers to the Raiders.

Just my two cents....

As for the Lions pick, I like Arnold a lot and I didn't think he would be there at #29.....so it was nice to see them make the move to trade up and get him.

Also: good to see local kid Darius Robinson - from Southfield - get taken at #27 by the Cardinals.

.WWJ 950 listeners, would you be disappointed if the Lions didn’t pick in the first round today?

If you strongly feel one way or another tell me why in the comments 👇🏼

We will talk about it later in our draft coverage!

Full disclosure: Elton was one of the people (along with Tim O'Neill and the late Ricky Sandoval) who took good care of me (and watched out for me) when I did Lions games. He's the best and I'm happy he's going to (finally) get a chance to kick back and relax!

This is great news!

Congratulations to Ken Kal, who is one of the best play-by-play announces in ANY sport.....and an even better person away from the microphone!

After enjoying a three-day weekend (filled with college basketball.....it is MARCH, after all), I'm back at the anchor desk today on WWJ 950 (along with legendary producer Dan Jenkins) starting at 2.

A reminder: let's be kind to each other today and every day...

Congratulations (as well) to Warrior Men’s Basketball and head coach Bryan Smothers for advancing to the GLIAC Tournament after yesterday’s last second win over Saginaw Valley.

The Warriors are playing good basketball at the right time…

Congratulations to Oakland Men's Basketball and head coach Greg Kampe on winning the regular season Horizon League Championship on Saturday night. The atmosphere at the O-Rena was fun…

Only regret: not saying ‘hi’ to Tony Paul | Detroit News, who was busy calling the game with Neal Ruhl….

If you've ever wanted to see what goes on behind the scenes, this is a great watch. Very cool of Greg Kampe to give us a look.

Also: Oakland enters the final month of the regular season tied for first in the Horizon League, after winning 9 of the last 10.
