Do you think the #9 overall this year is better than 2 late firsts the next two years? Could be a case of them wanting real data on players and with no combine shorten seasons etc the future picks may be better, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Holmes might want his own staff in place before he uses his capital to build the tem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenhater Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 If Goff is the QB this year and with Holmes/Campbell running the show what do you think the odds are we spend a 2nd or a 3rd on a RB? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenhater Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Guys I think it’s going to be difficult for Goff to succeed here. I think replacing Stafford is going to be tough. Stafford in the huddle or with the media vs Goff is going to be a big let down for everyone involved. Hope i’m wrong or we trade him but it’s a big juxtaposition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the HB market having basically collapsed, how is your cap room? Seems like you could find a solid to good HB to share the load at a very reasonable price.

Nnivolcm Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 This trade is the the most optimistic I've felt about the Lions since Patricia was hired. Won't be a quick turn around but it looks like they're looking at making a serious run in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MortexLion Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I really think Goff is going to make us all miss Stafford even more but I think he's a Bridge QB and can't complain about the two 1st round picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for RB, I don’t see the Lions spending much on the position when they have Swift/Kerryon and a lot of holes on defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case, a mid-round pick at the position might be the right call. I think I'd want to use the second on a more valuable position, especially with what Swift showed as a rookie. How's your OL? Obviously, I think it'll be important to keep Golladay, but if y'all do keep Goff, you have to protect him, especially from interior pressure. Ragnow is a beast, from what I recall. I don't know how Jonah Jackson played as a rookie or who y'all's RG is (Vaitai or Crosby?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how Jonah Jackson played as a rookie or who y'all's RG is (Vaitai or Crosby?). The left side of our OL is stellar. Decker/Jackson/Ragnow is borderline elite. The right side needs work. We shuffled guys around on the right side. We have Vaitai who hasn’t lived up to his contract but is solid when playing. Crosby hasn’t cemented RT. We have a rookie RG in Logan Stenberg that I’ve clamored to see play. Campbell has discussed using Swift in the slot and doing more PA with. I could see them use him in some of what I’ve seen Goff/Wood do in L.A. Golladay is a RFA. He was on NFLN a few days ago talking up the Lions and new HC Dan Campbell. Sounded like he wants to stay in Detroit. Re-signing him will be a priority for Holmes. Have a rookie WR in Quintez Cephus who played a little. Could use some work here. We also have a TE in Hockenson who despite me criticizing, is better IMO than Higbee. Jesse James is overpaid, but a solid blocking TE. Rookie Hunter Bryant could be a player to keep an eye on. Lions have a few pieces on offense, but new HC/OC could change up the roster. Edited January 31, 2021 by Louis Friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can be a little predictable, but he schemes up great rushing attacks and understands how to use PA well.
