Some people are athletic but not good at football. But them measurables. Detroit is not needing some scrub prospect type player.

Just Want A Title Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 This a different sort of trade rumor. There could be some truth to this. https://atozsports.com/detroit/julian-okwara-could-be-traded-by-the-lions/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to make that Okwara + late pick for Adoree trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Friend Posted October 21, 2023 Author Share Posted October 21, 2023 Jerry Jacobs is now injured. We need CB depth badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutch can't do it all by himself. We are getting zero pressure and I know that is partially by design but if we had a stud lineup opposite Hutch out Defense would take another step.

Millenhater Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 I don't know how he's looked this year but if Javonte Williams is available for a 5th or less I think we should go get him. This offense needs a RB like Monte. I think Williams could be a good complement and fill in while Monte is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Friend Posted October 22, 2023 Author Share Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) I know there aren’t a ton of big names available, but there is zero excuse for us to have the same roster after the trade deadline when we have quite obvious needs.

Millenhater Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Here are the names we should be looking at: Low pick/compensation: Caleb Farley Donte Jackson Kendall Fuller Kristian Fulton Mid to low compensation: Byron Murphy Sean Murphy Bunting Javonte Williams Day 2 pick Compensation: Jaylon Johnson Derick Brown Chase Young Premium Picks: Patrick Surtain Brian Burns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenhater Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 If the broncos were willing to move Surtain for 2 1sts would you do it? I'm thinking I would. Also what if Carolina is willing to move Burns for Jamo and a first do you do it? I would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenhater Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 9 minutes ago, MortexLion said: NO and HELL NO! Let me put it this way. would you trade Gibbs and Jack Campbell for Patrick Surtain? In other words a part time RB and a LB who looks pretty bad for an All Pro at a premium position. That's what our past two first round picks got us. Plus they should be low end picks. As for Burns, Jamo sucks. He just does so we would be trading a late first (26-32) plus a player that gets about 2-6 targets a game and averages about .25 catches a game for a pro bowl premium position player. I think the Hell no response is reactionary without actually thinking about it. I think if we get chance to land a player like Surtain you do it. Burns I'd be a little less likely to give up that much but he would be very impactful for our roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be tough to take on the contract extension for a player like Brian Burns. Jameson Williams is still a pretty raw player. It is too early to move on from him.
