Probably but it's not impossible for 4 QBs, Pitts and Chase to go in the top 6. Unlikely but not impossible. I also agree OL is our strongest group but we don't have a RT. Just because OL is good doesn't mean we should skip over the BPA at a high value position to take a lesser player based on need. We are ashes right now and need to gather value.
Even if you think maybe he is the answer, find out. The only way to do that is give him protection and weapons. Something for example the Jets haven't done with Darnold and now we 3 years into his career and nobody is really sure what he even is. Plus, what is the point in drafting a rookie QB in 2022 or 2023 and having him come into a bad offense? Talk about setting the kid up to fail. Want to attract a high end FA QB, you better have the players on offense in place to attract him.
AZ signing everybody. PK an area that we didn't improve
I’ll miss prater, he was reliable.
We have a history of being great at low value positions. Have had great Kickers practically my whole life
top 10 picks mainly just QBs & recievers + a CB. One lineman total from both sides of the ball says at least this year it's that way.
Chuck Long, Andre Ware, Joey Harrington. They tried.
TB won the last SB due to their defensive line which was able to take advantage of the OL injuries KC had. Mahomes had no time to throw.
came here to post this, just watched it. he didn't have to do that but dude just always does the right thing.
that scheme was fantastic, everybody doing their job. David was all over the place, all the DBs had a stellar night. but while the D line was a huge part of it, they also assembled a really good group in the defensive backfield, had four good wideouts and of course the TB12/Gronk signings to put them over the edge. amazing how quickly Arians turned it around.
Thank you #9 for the path to rooting for another team.
I'm amazed that folks have come in here to criticize the transaction. we dealt an iconic figure while incurring zero drama, which is in stark contrast to numerous other times franchise QBs have been moved. we received a capable replacement who will be low cost the first two seasons, three picks( two of them firsts), and even got the other side to pay this year's roster bonus. the Rams got what they think they wanted and I cannot imagine us negotiating a better haul coming back.
It’s about community. Winning football games is nice but also pointless in life. I’m a Lions fan because of where I came from, who I am friends with, times I spent with family and friends, memory, common bonds, etc. Its not like I’m going to get a cut of the profit if they won a SB or something.
Dude was a class act from Day 1, going to miss him as a Lion and will root for him as a Ram.
Picking up better players than the guy they are replacing. Hill over James, Williams over Peterson, Brockers over Shelton or other DTs. Tyrell Williams over Amendola
I’m sure he’s just as likely to be cut this summer as he is to make the team. This is his last shot in the league.
Affordable veterans. Roster needs total turnover but in the meantime we do need guys to fill it out until we can get a couple rookie UDFA classes in here.
Perhaps. But still no apparent "core" being developed toward any type of meaningful system/philosophy/personality. Just a bunch of random short-term rentals.
They are a bunch of randoms and short term rentals. You don’t build a team through FA.
There's no way they can add anyone to their "core" right now. It's about cleaning house, gaining draft capital and bringing guys in to start rebuilding the culture. Simple as that.
Not really. A bunch of primarily one-year contracts contradicts Campbell's own words...
The cupboard is bare. Lions have little money and talent so Campbell was getting ahead of himself. Lions forced to sign low cost vets on tryout contracts. Guys like Brockers, Hill, J.Williams and maybe T. Williams are likely being viewed as core players.
What I took away from that statement is all transactions going forward have purpose in building this team. It is a unique offseason with the cap and how FAs and teams are approaching it.
Lions are going to be bad in 2021. Really bad.Moonlight said:
Death, taxes, sunrise, Muhlbach - the only certainties of life.
At least we won’t have Quinn trying to draft a replacement LS in the 4th.
I'm also not seeing a wr or "te" in the first, but 2nd or after would be ok. Very deep at that position this year.
At 1.7 I'm not sure we should be taking any defensive player this year though. I just hope they can trade back.
Thought this article was funny, because it gives hypothetical scenarios for the Patriots trading up for a QB. It has 3 teams before the Lions and two teams after the Lions. I would hope the Lions are one of the more likely teams to WANT to trade back.
