This is a player that really could’ve helped the Lions. Major difference maker. Brad scared to pull the trigger again.

That’s a pretty high price for a rental.

I wouldn’t pay that much. Especially if Kerby is ready.

Outrageous price IMO.

If I am giving up this year’s second, it’s going to be for Zach Baun. We have much bigger needs at LB for this season than we do safety. Especially moreso if it is true that Kerby will be ready to try playing soon.

Eight games for a second rounder 27? Nop.
Lol. The price is always too high for draft nerds and cowardly Holmes. Gotta save those picks to trade up for guys like TeSlaa or Bromart.
Lions sure could’ve used a 3x all pro safety.

Jessie Bates going to the #1 run defense nice
Great move by the Jags

If you are able to think beyond the next half season, you are a draft nerd or coward?
OK man. Whatever you say.
It’s always next year in Lions land.

Such a good move for the Jags he is a game changer. All the top teams are getting difference makers while Holmes continues to sit on his hands.

I mentioned him on here a couple eeeks ago and was told no Atlanta won’t trade him.

That’s just Lions fans trying to cope because they know Holmes doesn’t have what it takes to trade for such a high quality player.
Branch and Kerby are both better than Bates and under contract longer than him. Those Jax safeties were horrible, nobody even know their names so this 2nd is foremost a desperation move to fix a weak spot on a talented roster
I 'd draft 100 out of 100 times Kerbys replacement with this pick instead to pay a 29old guy massive money or throw away this 2nd

yeah he’s such a game changer he has helped the Falcons to a 3-6 record in the worst division in football…
I love and wanted Jessie Bates but this is beyond an overpay for a rental.

If you’re midway through the season, and it feels like this could be your year, I have no problem overpaying for the missing piece. Much better then throwing away picks in ridiculous draft-day trades for low-level fantasy camp players.
And Kerby is damaged goods at this point, unfortunately.

Yeah, makes senses for Jax and I would even agree if both BB and Kerby were down all year but with both back our need drastically changed.
Abney did play six snaps yesterday

Holmes hasnt “thrown away” 2nd round picks…Bates didn’t go for late day 3 picks…I really don’t understand the connection you are trying to make here.
Also, Detroit is in position to be one of the best teams in football for at least the next 3 years. Jessie Bates, or any other player, doesn’t change your SB odds enough to warrant changing philosophy. This team can win a SB as is.
I love that BH doesn’t care what the fans want or think. He knows this team can win a SB whether they add a starter or not.

It’s not really that high a price to pay. Assuming that Bates balls out like he usually does, the Jags will likely recoup a comp 3rd if he signs elsewhere. If he re-signs all the more better. I think it’s a good bet for them.
