Sign Reader, sign a G and WR (and whatever deal they can find), then go into the draft with the intent of taking talent. That would be a huge signing.

Karnage84 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 How would you guys feel about this trade: The Lions trade pick #29 to Bengals for Tee Higgins and pick #80 According to the trade value chart, it's the equivalent of pick #45 (a high 2nd). With the FA additions that we've already made, the Lions don't have glaring holes (we do have room for upgrades). I am assuming that DJ Reader will sign with us. There are some big extensions coming down the pipes but there are teams that have paid two WR's big money, a QB with a big contract and a couple of big defensive player contracts. The Chargers are the perfect example of this. We'd still have 7 picks: 61, 80 (CIN), 92, 164, 201, 205, 249 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not trading a 1st (even a late one) for a WR that still wants a large contract when we need to re-sign guys like Goff, ARSB, Penei and have major long term needs on defense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detfan782004 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 LV released Hunter Renfrow....would not be bad to kick tires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sllim Pickens Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 As much as Higgins looks good on paper, it feels like a Madden move. Its a short term fix IMO for a non major problem. If we are moving 29, I would rather get Snead, and I dont think he is worth 29. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like a super cheap similar type to Reynolds with some upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With ARSB, Sam LaPorta, Jameson Williams and Jahmyr Gibbs all slated to play big parts in the passing game, I don't think we need another WR1/WR1A. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renfroe would play a very different role than Josh Reynolds simply because he is 5'10"/185 Lbs and Josh Reynolds is 6'3"/194 Lbs. Their playing styles are very different.

Their playing styles are very different. Its not really about size as it is roll. Renfrow had his best seasons when he was closer to a 50/50 split wide and in the slot. He is a possession receiver, not a downfield threat, which is also what Reynolds was. Renfrow would also provide better depth behind ARSB for his roll but could easily step into the routes that Reynolds runs. And for super cheap most likely.

I will say this for Hunter Renfroe: He is arguably one of the most fun WRs to watch in the NFL. Once the whistle blows he is putting one move after another until he gets open or the play is dead. That is something you can't really teach. It also makes him pretty effective in the RZ despite his size limitations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
