Does this mean Detroit pass up on a qb now in the draft ? I hope so 

Good question--they have many needs.  I would try out Goff knowing I had enough to trade up next year if he does not work out.  But it sure does not sound like he had much value.

If it doesn’t work out, the Lions can easily move on from Goff in two years. The Rams REALLY wanted to get rid of that contract and win now. No way they could make it past the hump with Goff for the next two years and they wanted to move now to make it to the super bowl. Looking from the Rams perspective, I agree that they are close, and can pull off a turnaround now like the Bucs have with Brady. It’s a steep price but one that no one will question if they win a championship now. It’s a no brainer win for the Lions but could be mutually beneficial for the Rams also. You can’t just get franchise QBs so it’s move they had to make if they feel like they have the roster to win it all the next few seasons.

The guy who drafted Goff is now the Lions GM, and a NC A&T alum!

The Aggie may have done us a favor. 

Unless he trades the #7 pick to a team like New England--

By the way, I have known Brandon Parker since he was 4.  His dad and I are good friends.

A lot of y'all are overlooking that a good chunk of those draft picks were literally just to get the Lions to absorb Goff's contract. That's why a lot of us have been saying Teddy has negative trade value. We'd literally have to give up draft assets to get another team to take him off our hands.

That’s why as much as I don’t want TB here next year, he likely is. We will have to pay to get rid of that contract. We saw what it cost to dump the Osweiller contract. Getting rid of Goff’s was going to cost a 1st at least.

Yeah I’m not sold on the lions committing to Goff until they come out and say so . I think they just did rams a favor and that’s all . I would still draft a top qb

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
