Give me my X receiver Bradford. 

Nope. You get an old, backup QB instead lol. I'm sure you're thrilled with this pick.

Wowza.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

WOW!!!!!!!!!

[sagnam]

hahahhaha, that's a great pick

Nate Sudfeld just threw his recliner across the room.     And missed the reciver. 

[RandyMarsh]

Would've much rather took the guy he was throwing to in Tillman.

great pick.

[number20]

Hooker. Wow

[MichiganCardinal]

I think it's probably more likely that Goff gets an extension next year than it is we transition to Hooker as our next starter. I don't hate it as a 3rd round pick.

Gator just stained his undies.

[Motown Bombers]

This should be Goff's last year in Detroit. 

[Motor City Sonics]

I'm fine with it.   I like the guy.    This draft has been about building depth.   Ding again !

[Motown Bombers]

I hope Holmes is right on this.

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.

I thought the same thing lol

[Motown Bombers]

He's going to be as old as Goff is now by the time he starts. 

[NYLion]

The positive is that this might give the Lions some leverage on Goff's next contract with Hooker waiting in the wings. I like it from that standpoint.

Do you think Goff demands out or refuses to sign an extension if offered.

[MichiganCardinal]

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).

Branch and Hooker, he's poking eyes out tonight.

[RandyMarsh]

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.

He might not be able to wait until Monday to get in front of a mic lol

[Motown Bombers]

I'm convinced St Brown read the card wrong and it said Cedric Tillman, Tennessee.
