y*so*blu Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Makes sense for both teams. The Lions are perennial rebuilders and Minnesota has a golden opportunity to win their division and probably the #2 seed. (Maybe #1 if the Eagles fall on their faces, but gosh would it be a shame if that happened.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming SRP is 2nd round pick then I'd definitely rather have the straight 3rd. Especially as the Lions that need have holes a plenty.

Tugboat Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I don't really get why Detroit would move a top, young offensive weapon for so little. But i guess that's none of my business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially as the Lions that need have holes a plenty. That's just an insane concept. Let's assume you're going to get a mid-to-late (18-24 range) SRP for Hockenson. Moving down from that pick to a similar pick in the 3rd round is worth an additional mid-3rd round pick worth of value. Even if you trade into the early parts of the 3rd round (1-5), you're getting an early 4th round pick worth of value on top of that. There's literally no variation that you should ever prefer a 3rd round pick instead of sending a 4th round pick to get back a SRP. You take that opportunity to get the higher pick everytime. If you need more picks, you can always trade down but you can't afford to miss out on superior prospects. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those numbers don't qualify him as a top offensive weapon imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thielen is still good in a limited role and Osborn is fine in the slot, but neither are really anything special this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontTazeMeBro Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Really bizarre for Detroit. Their offense has been awesome when all skill players are active. And they don’t even have Jameson Williams yet. Sure they need a defense but Cincy showed everyone last year you can build an entire competent defense in one offseason. I really don’t get why bad teams keep just giving their good players away for the suspense of the draft pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screen game has been trash so far this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
