You have Fields, Lance, Waddle, Smith at #7 and no trade down scenario... who do you take? Fields. All day. I'm not sure if he will work out or not, but I think he has the best chance and arguably the most upside. He's also played in very big games against some very good NFL talent. Biggest question to me is if you take Fields and Goff is back to pro bowl form, what do you do then? If we come out of this draft with Smith in the first round, I don't think I will like this draft.**Edit...Nevermind...I'll go with Slater.

NFL_Fan Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 id rather trade down with the saints or ravens then take waddle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Friend Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) I don’t mind Waddle, but I have other guys rated higher. As for Fields vs Lance, Fields has a higher floor and a more “sure thing” than Lance, great college tape... but I think Lance has more upside and could provide a new dual threat direction for the Lions. If Goff goes back to pro bowl form and you have either Fields or Lance, that is a great problem to have. edit- I see only one scenario, the one I outlined, that this is a possibility.

Absolutely agree on it being a great problem to have. But do you get rid of the pro-bowl 26 year old qb, or do you get rid of the high floor/ceiling Fields/Lance? I like the problem, but what return on your 7th pick do you think you will get? If you trade Fields/Lance, I don't think you will get a 7th pick value for him (maybe I'm wrong). If you trade Goff, it's not a sure thing keeping Fields/Lance pays off. I think there could be some downside here for a rebuilding team.

I think there could be some downside here for a rebuilding team. It depends on how the rookie QB develops. If you are confident (i.e. Phillip Rivers Situation) you deal Goff and collect more picks (probably a 1st). If Goff has a good year it's not a sure thing he's good after this year either. We've seen him be successful then teams figure him out and he struggles. Like you said a great situation to be in. It's tough but I just would have to trust the personel dept. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumor has it Julio has been problematic the last few years. It doesn't hurt to see how motivated ATL would be to move him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help me with contract info, but he's owed $23 million this season. What would the Lions be on the hook for if trading for him? At least $15-20 million? Too rich for a 30+ yo WR during a rebuild.

NFL_Fan Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I know you said just test the waters. but no thanks on Julio. overpaid which he deserves but always banged up which I also get being old and wornout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
