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

      More TDs last year in less games (double the TDs) and more yards per game. Those are some tough stats to brush aside. Career stats are good but we are wanting the player for what they are currently. DK had some drop issues too.

      After Day three.... New draft strategy?

      By Murph · Posted

      I’m going with Nick Emmanwori as the pick right now. Charlie Campbell has him ranked 5th on his post combine big board and another safety is needed.

      Morgan as GM so far

      That is ridiculous on several levels. First of all you have to spend 90% of your cap space every year so the idea you can just not spend it every year is against the CBA. Secondly your job is to assemble the best team you can for the fans players and team. Not to save money for the owner.  Third many players who are considered great underperform while others like Luvu and Jackson have overperformed. What about a  great player like Derek Brown who was injured and missed all of last year. Was he a waste of money?? Sure pay DK a fools ransom and hope he stays healthy. He didn't even get 1000 yards last year which averages out to 60 yards a game or play all 16 games.  And lets be real, Jones and Watson aren't  great but they aren't being paid that much either. Real glad you aren't the GM.
