I just see a bunch of rumors. Ridder and Willis were being rumored in the first round. I do think Hooker could go 23 to Minnesota or whatever but QBs with his profile donā€™t typically go in the top 10.

I agree with most points but I also think in a way it gives them leverage in a trade down if one of the three QBā€™s slide. Butā€¦ there is still a better chance they draft a QB at 6 than an RB like many are suggesting.

This!!!

Many of the teams drafting to 10ā€¦. Also draft top 10 in the second round donā€™t they?

We talk about good problems to have right? Like people are ok with drafting DE, and CB high even though we are stacked at both positions. And letting them sit, and learn. There is no position more valuable than QB.

Iā€™ve debated Goff enough. And I wonā€™t do it again until next season after watching him play. I think he is a good QB, but not a great QB. I judge teams, and players by watching games. A CB can have 0 INTā€™s, 0 pass deflections, and 0 tackles. Yes, Iā€™m being extreme, but that just means no one throws at him. Which makes him great. A QB can have an amazing OLine, great running game, and good WRā€™s that he can put up great stats, but he isnā€™t great. I also think Goff being called a top 10 QB is not a compliment. There is Mahomes, Burrow, maybe Allen, and maybe Hurtz? Maybe Stafford when healthy? Herbert, Tua, Lamar?

The thing with Goff is after a very rough beginning, and a very average start to the season, it clicked, and it works. Thereā€™s no need to change whatā€™s not ā€œcurrentlyā€ broken. However, Goff is not great. I truthfully say with no hate that I donā€™t think he has much trade value. Yes, Lamar is asking for the moon, but heā€™s very young, and has credentials like MVP up the arse. Yet, no one seems to want him.

I do not think Goff will be worth 40-50mil a season. And heā€™ll be 30. And of course, that same old argument of ā€œthey may not have this chance againā€.

I donā€™t trust 2nd, or later round QBā€™s.

There is something going on though. The regime said Goff is their starter. But have also said QB is a possibility. Usually, teams donā€™t go all out for back-up QBā€™s. Unless their starter has injury history. Goff is durable. So itā€™s a little weird that they are offering Bridgewater a ā€œstrong dealā€. Goff might be their starter ā€œnowā€.

Using one of their invites for CJ Stroud is a good thing.

The key to all of this is that the Lions do have the luxury, and ammo to do this if they want.

Of course Iā€™m just yapping away. Itā€™s all talk.

We are not trading up for Stroud period nor are they taking a CB or JSN at 6!!

Some posters in here are funny!!!

I wonder which team is trying to push Stroud down the board to them.

What does this measure. Someoneā€™s ability to get to the 2nd read if the 1st read isnā€™t already open by 5 yards? If so Iā€™d say that checks out

Hopefully itā€™s us.

I tried guys. I really did. But Iā€™m a Buckeye at heart who wants his guy.

Give me Stroud!

If he can be that guy from the UGA game most of the time heā€™s the best player in the draft by a comfortable margin. Can he? :man_shrugging:

No offense but thatā€™s a horrible plan.
Stroud will stink in the NFL just like all the other OSU QBā€™s.
So yes, your idea is to trade your really good QB for a bad rookie QB.

So 30 is over-the-hill now for QBā€™s? And heā€™s not even 29 years old yet but yes, heā€™ll be 30 in 1.5 years.

Heck early 30ā€™s are prime age for qbs. So lets trade him away when he is entering his prime. Sounds crazy

Yes you definitely know this as a factual statement.

Oh wait, is that your Michigan fan speaking again? Because I think so.

Not that I should be talkingā€¦
