AlaskanTigersFan Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Serious question..... is Jake Moody the best kicker in this draft? The Lions have one 4th rounder, three 5th rounders and a 7th. We should burn a 5th on the best kicker in the draft. Whether thats Moody or not. I just honestly don't know who the best is...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hongbit Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I feel worse for Hooker than Goff. There are better places for him to go with a clearer path to the starting job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they did and they drafted him knowing he's likely not going to be on the roster to start the season so he doesn't add depth, at least to start the season.

RandyMarsh Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I don't hate the pick given our situation and the amount of picks we have had but I would've rather drafted Tillman to really solidfy the offensive weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were asking for a late 1st or early 2nd rounder for their backup QB...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganCardinal Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Just now, Tenacious D said: We do. Very odd reaction to getting depth at a position where we needed it. If Hooker had stayed healthy, he goes in the first round, maybe to Indy. Great value in the 3rd round, especially where we don’t have any glaring holes elsewhere (and are not done drafting). I'm not calling Hooker Joe Burrow. But. He was on a Burrow-like trajectory with what he was doing at Tennessee until he tore his ACL. He was a Heisman contender on a 9-1 Tennessee team and then he went down and everyone saw his age and injury and shied away. I'm not calling Hooker Joe Burrow. He was probably never going to go 1.1 because of his age and Young/Stroud being there. But the upside is there, and if he had stayed healthy and won the Heisman, he's probably looking at going #4 to the Colts. In the 3rd round, even if the worst case scenario comes to fruition and he never even sees the field, it's a 3rd round bust. Kind of like Iffy is looking like. If it wasn't clear, I'm not calling Hooker Joe Burrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I think the thing I hate most is going to be listening to radio folks call for Hooker to start the moment Goff plays bad or the Lions lose a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagnam Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) Brad Holmes makes no mistakes. This was the right pick at the right time. Edited April 29, 2023 by sagnam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't listen to the radio. That's a stupid fan problem, not a roster building problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddha Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 1) brad holmes will not draft a qb because we have jared goff and he's awesome; 2) the lions wont draft a mobile qb because that's stupid and see #1; 3) brad holmes is awesome and we shouldnt question his draft picks because none of them have been duds. ------ brad holmes drafts mobile qb hendon hooker. ------- i have questions! lol.

Jason_R Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 We can’t tell whether the draft is successful for three years, but we can tell that it is awesome right now. This has to be the most entertaining Lions draft ever. It’s like a Michael Bay movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganCardinal Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Wouldn't put it past Holmes to package the 4th and a 5th (and maybe Swift) to move back into the late 3rd if he sees someone he really likes. It would be difficult for five more players at this stage to make this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
