Art_Vandalay Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Hoowwwwiiiieeee! I like it but a 3rd rounder seems pretty high for a rental. Hopefully we can get something done longterm. But yeah, I'm pretty amped right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have been mad if a team like the Texans did it. Eagles when healthy can be a SB contender. Trading a 3rd don't really matter for them.

That OL and defense regressed this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we can get something done longterm. But yeah, I'm pretty amped right now. I think the market was skewed by Dallas's stupidity tbh. Teams were likely asking for the moon for their WRs. Tate is still a very good receiver. And Agholor has not been playing anywhere near the level he'd need to justify not upgrading the position just because it means moving him (Agholor) outside. I like this trade a lot. Tate is 30, sure, but he's still very much playing at his best. He is a monster after the catch, which is something we really needed at receiver. AN and Ertz aren't exactly known for their YAC. Now we have someone who can take a quick throw and turn it into a big gain. Compare him to what Agholor has been this year (not great), and Jordan Matthews who basically just catches the ball and runs sideways out of bounds or gets tackled immediately.

ninjapirate Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Why would a team that has played like garbage all year trade a second day pick for an 8 game rental. Awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleBlueDon Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Can't imagine this deal was done without thinking that they'll offer him an extension at some point. "8 game rental" doesn't strike me as something Howie Roseman is interested in for a 3rd rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the emergence of Golladay, Tate has been mostly in the slot. He can play outside but he’s really amazing in the slot. He’s a competitor every snap. He’s been at or near the top of the league in YAC for a few seasons now. Im not happy about the trade but know why they made it. Tate has been incredibly valuable to Detroit.

If Philly doesn’t extend him (which I bet they will) then it’s a 3rd for an 8-game rental. That’s not good, no matter which team is writing the checks.

Louis Friend Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I'm sad to see him go, but I understand it. Hoping this is not the last move for the Lions today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
