Motown Bombers Posted April 29, 2023 Posted April 29, 2023 Willis and Corral were drafted in the 3rd last year and both of those teams are drafted QBs high the very next year. Thankfully they both passed on Kerby Joseph. Quote

I was asking why you didn't trust Holmes since that is all you talked about before the draft until he drafted a player you didn't like. Expand No matter how good the Lions become, negativity is rooted deeply in some people. And it creates a twisted, strange, sense of humor. Holmes built a playoff contender in a very short time. Quote
Motown Bombers Posted April 29, 2023 Posted April 29, 2023 If I would have said I love the Hooker pick, Buddha would then attack me as being a homer since I was against taking a QB before the draft. It is a no win situation. Quote

It is a no win situation. Expand Goff is going to be very expensive. Moving on from Swift was necessary for money reasons as well as his inability to stay healthy. Holmes is actually looking towards the future as much as he is for next season. Quote

Stanley70 Posted April 29, 2023 Posted April 29, 2023 If you told me who the lions drafted and what picks they had, I don't think I would have matched any of them up. Quote

Expand I think you are the only one who has said someone doesn't want to pay him. It was implied that if you draft in the top 10 you might want to consider taking a generational talent at QB because you might not draft that high again for a while. And an added bonus of drafting that generation talent is they will be cheaper for a bit. It's not the reason, it's a perk. Quote

You save at most for 3 seasons and you are right back to where you are now. I find this salary cap argument to be weird. Quote
