2023 NFL Draft As-It-Happens

This should be Goff's last year in Detroit. 

Actually, I'll say the opposite. Hooker never sees the field for Detroit outside of mop up duty or injury fill in. They're building a strong enough offense that Goff will assert himself as THE guy. I know some people like this pick but I was a "Go Big or Go Home" guy if they wanted QB and I don't see this as going big.

It's very interesting that the Lions traded back not once but twice before selecting Hooker. That doesn't exactly exude confidence that he's your 2024 or 2025 starting QB.

Ultimately I like it because I think the upside is through the roof for a 3rd round pick. Worst case he never sees the field, and that sucks for a 3rd, but it's also not the end of the world (like a 1st round QB busting could be).

I don't necessarily think the Hooker pick means the end of Goff, it could just be a matter of them feeling that they were in position to take a flyer on him just in case something happens to Goff whether it be injury or ineffectiveness. If Goff continues to excel then worst case scenario is you used a 3rd RD pick on a backup QB, a position that you were prepared to make a "strong offer" to fill anyway.
