CMRivdogs Posted March 1, 2022 Posted March 1, 2022 I think Detroit did a pretty good job with the MLB All Star Game, Super Bowl and Final Four. They should be able to adequately manage a lesser event like the NFL Draft Quote
buddha Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 i didnt know our old friend martin mayhew is back as the gm for the artists formerly known as the washington redskins. also, washington tried to trade a first and third for stafford last year? huh, i dont remember reading that either. 1 Quote
RandyMarsh Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 Dont know how serious to take it since I'm not sure of the connections he has but Ryan Ermani of Fox 2 said that according to his "connections" Detroit is indeed going to be the choice of the 2024 draft and that an announcement should be coming soon.

Mr.TaterSalad Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 I hope we have a parade on Woodward for that announcement considering the draft is our Super Bowl. I would be down to going to that though for sure. Quote
MichiganCardinal Posted March 7, 2022 Posted March 7, 2022 I don't think that we will be trading for Ridley. Quote
buddha Posted March 7, 2022 Posted March 7, 2022 so that was the "mental health" time off he needed to take? remember all the fawning twitter takes congratulating him and offering support? and the whole time he was gambling? lololol. 1 Quote
Motown Bombers Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 Aaron Rodgers signed a 4 year $200 million extension with Green Bay. Guess we can pump the brakes on the Lions winning the division next year. 1 Quote
Motown Bombers Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 I like it and it doesn't prevent them from drafting or signing another top WR. 1 Quote
buddha Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 stop gap move. prohibits them for swinging for the fences for a cooper or a robinson. but they probably werent getting those guys anyway. 1 Quote
RandyMarsh Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 I wonder if the Seahawks would be open to trading Metcalf and if so what would it take to get him? Quote
Cruzer1 Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 I don't like the receivers in free agency, would rather they draft em. Love the Reynolds signing, won't affect the compensation needle, which is what they really need, more picks. Quote

I don't think it has to. Even with keeping Reynolds (which I too agree with), I think we could still use two new WRs this offseason. Whether they're both from the draft, one from free agency and one from the draft, whatever. In an ideal world, I think Reynolds is the WR4 going into 2022. If anything, it should put Raymond/Cephus/Hodge/Kennedy/et al. on notice that their time in Detroit (and in the NFL) may be numbered. 1 Quote
Motown Bombers Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 It seems like Twitter was ablaze that Allen Robinson was signing with the Lions because of his Twitter bio. That is obviously bunk but I didn't realize Robinson was from Detroit and seems to rep Detroit a lot. It could give the Lions an advantage. Quote

Love the Reynolds signing, won't affect the compensation needle, which is what they really need, more picks. I feel he same way. I might go out and get a depth guy to be the #3 or #4 WR in free agency As far as targeting our outside guy to be the #1 WR, I'd rather get someone cheaper and potentially better in the draft. The splash moves I want to make in free agency are all on defense signing guys like Marcus Williams, J.C. Jackson, Carlton Davis, De'Vondre Campbell, etc. Edited March 9, 2022 by Mr.TaterSalad Quote
RandyMarsh Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 I love JC Jackson but it always concerns me when the Patriots don't commit to you. Their track record is pretty damn good when it comes to things like that. They keep the good players and the guys they let go tend to not end up doing much after...Brady aside. Quote
Stanley70 Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) I don't like the Reynolds signing right now either. They are giving 2 years to a guy that was released last year. If they had gone through free agency and the draft and weren't able to find 1-2 receivers then yea, it makes sense. Signing him now kind of limits their options.

Hongbit Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 Let’s wait and see what they Reynolds deal really looks like before making any firm decisions. I assume it’s really a 1 year deal with a bunch of incentives and doesn’t have a big cap number this year. I would hope it won’t have any impact on their ability to sign a marquee WR. If it did, I wouldn’t like the deal very much. Quote
Motown Bombers Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 Carson Wentz was traded to Washington for a pair of 3rd round picks. You cannot tell me Jared Goff has zero trade value. If the Lions really like one of these QBs, they could draft him, sit him for a year, hope Goff has a good season, and turn Goff into a pick or two. Quote

If it did, I wouldn’t like the deal very much. Everyone is saying worth up to or maximum which would seem to me there are incentives. He's being paid like a #3 and played like a solid #3. You pro-rate his numbers out for a full season and he was about a 50 catch, 700 yard, 5 TD WR. Don't forget Goff and St Brown played a lot better when Reynolds joined the team. The chemistry between Goff and Reynolds is worth the contract. They probably could have signed another receiver who had similar production for the same or better price but there seems to be something between Goff and Reynolds. I highly doubt a smallish contract like this takes them out of the running for a bigger WR. Quote
MichiganCardinal Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 Have to wonder what Indy has in mind for QB. They don't have a 1st round pick. Sam Ehlinger is the only QB they have rostered right now. Maybe Jordan Love? Quote
