turtle28 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I don’t see the Lions trading up one pick, they have no reason to and I think they take Okudah. You had me until that trade. Oh, and there’s no reason to re-sign the oft injured useless Brantley. We only need 4 DTs. We have Allen, Payne, Ioannidis and Settle.

Let’s start with what I like: you’ve planned and thought it out very well. I like the resigning and agree even with the over rated Under performing injury prone Trent Williams. Prob paying too much but I want to give our HC and QB the best chance they can to start with. I like the Olsen and McGovern signings but love the Bradberry signing. now what I don’t like: the trade back just won’t happen because Miami and Detroit won’t do it. Why would they? Just seems highly highly unlikely. QB- smith can’t and won’t play. We need a veteran backup even if it’s cardell jones from the defenders ( kidding), we need a guy who has started and can come in or you risk the season if our starting qb gets injured. sign Luke for a year at MLB to run the defense we need a real fullback cant count on any rookies other than Predator starting and since the trade won’t happen just keep Kerrigan going to be fun to watch how it all shakes out.

He’s coming off a dislocated and fractured hip. He’ll be lucky to play football at all next year and may never play again if the blood flow to his hip doesn’t get back to 100%. Everything I’m hearing is that he will be ready, reason I have them trading up is not bc I think Washington or Detroit will take him but that another team could try to trade up and get him, there are a few teams that could very well want to jump Miami, in the end it’s not that I don’t think Tua wouldn’t be there at 5 for Miami but it’s that another team could try to make a trade with Detroit and jump in front. do I think we get involved with a trade? No, most likely not, but why not try to be involved if we can still get young and it’s beneficial to all teams involved if the dolphins are sold on Tua. thats my thinking behind it. It’s a long shot but it’s more of Miami 100% being sold on Tua, The Lions getting an extra 2nd, still getting Okudah, while also getting dline help with Kerrigan, and is still getting our guy in Young, while picking up another pick and unloading Kerrigan contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will believe it when I see it. Two, as I’ve said in several threads now, we should not put in jeopardy that someone jumps up above us to take Chase Young. Trading down even just one spot does that. And the Lions don’t have to trade around the draft to get LDE help, they can sign a FA and not have to lose draft picks. They have no reason to overpay for Ryan Kerrigan. His contract/cap hit is going to be hard to move w/o us paying some of his guaranteed $ which I’d do if we draft Chase Young at 2. I know Snyder won’t agree to do this but I’d trade Kerrigan in a separate trade. I would’ve traded Kerrigan, Norman and TWill last fall before the trade deadline. I wouldn’t include Kerrigan in a trade involving our first round pick, I’d trade him for a mid round pick in the draft. Then, we flip Kerrigan into a young TE, LB, CB, FS, DE or WR to develop to hopefully be a starter in a year or two when Kerrigan in 34 and likely retired or limping his way to 5 sacks a game while getting abused in the run game.

e16bball Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 This would be a great offseason if they could pull it off. I’m a big fan of getting Kenneth Murray — I build a lot of my daydreams around the idea of getting a pick in that range. It’s not that I think he’s a perfect prospect, but it’s just such an important position in this defense and I think he could really excel behind this DL with his speed and explosion. I also like doubling down on LB with Littleton. With Murray and Littleton in the fold, we can just wait to see what we can get out of Foster. If he is able to make it back, that’s potentially the best front 7 in football. I also like going with Olsen plus a young TE — if I was a gambling man, that’s where I’d expect them to end up when all is said and done. Bradberry also seems like a sensible import from Carolina. Big fan of trading Kerrigan, I think it’s very unwise to keep him around for sentiment when we could get another pick in that 3rd round of this draft that will be so rich with pass-catchers at the very least. I’m not necessarily sold on Winfield as a partner for Collins (would love a guy with a bit more range to play center field) or Moss as the future at TE, but I like going with players with good bloodlines. It seems like guys whose fathers (or uncles or brothers) played in the NFL tend to overachieve for some reason or another. I’m not a big fan of the Higgins or McGovern deals. Cutting PRich ($6M dead cap) and signing Higgins ($2.5M contract) leaves us in exactly the same place as just keeping PRich ($8.5M cap number), and I think it leaves us with a worse player. As for McGovern, I think center is one of those positions where the guys don’t seem to translate very well from one system/situation to another when they move in FA. And I don’t think he gives much of an upgrade on Roullier, who I think is pretty decent. If I was going to make a move for a FA OL, I think I’d prefer to take a shot at Jack Conklin to replace Moses. Could be a big risk to backfire, but at least with Conklin, we know there’s also upside that it could pay off big-time if he gets back to form. As for the draft trade, I think it’s really creative and clever. I’ve spent some time thinking about which party walks away from it, and I think it’s probably Detroit. I think they’d object to the fact that we’d be getting a mid-1st to move down from 2 to 3 and they’d only be getting a 2nd to go from 3 to 5. But looking at it from each team’s perspective, it’s not a slam dunk that anyone would slam the phone down if offered that opportunity. The NFL is pathologically opposed to creativity, so I feel like a 3-way draft trade will never happen, but it’s a cool idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
