NudeTayne Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 2nd rounder for a good/very good TE who is about to get PAID seems fair for everyone. I actually like it for the Lions, as the problem isn't on the offense. They must not have wanted to pay him $15+mil/yr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SotanKing Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Vikings pass catchers depth was bit thin and with Irv Smith getting injured again, Hockenson should solve this need well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SotanKing Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I also think this mostly implies Vikings are gonna let Irv Smith walk next off-season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty21 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 He was having his best season as a pro and goes to a much more effective passing offense. This is a killer trade for Minnesota. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn’t put up that kind of production, but idk still a meh trade for Detroit especially to a division rival. Jefferson, Theilen, Cook, and Hock. Good lord Don't they know when you have Jefferson you don't need anyone else? Fuh we suck. Fire everyone and reboot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Yah, just don't draft a TE high. It's bad business that Detroit is trying to clean up. Vikes made a good short term move here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Excellent trade for the VIkings. Trading down from a low 2nd to a high 4th this year and a low 3rd to a high 4th next year? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you draft a young qb this off-season you need a security blanket. Especially to a division rival. Campbell about to get fired. That security blanket is ARSB.

LeotheLion Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I'm not sure why Detroit does this. I'd be asking for picks and not swaps. I know Hock is fairly disappointing compared to his draft slot but he's still likely a top 10 TE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lions will get a solid player with the 2nd round pick then clear house, firing Campbell and all the other coaches. The new coaching staff they bring in will have a totally different scheme rendering the solid player you draft useless. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
