Lions 2022 Offseason Thread

I don’t think the Raiders are playing this very smart. Carr is decent but he’s the worst QB in that division. They will struggle to finish 3rd in that division next year. They may have been better off launching something of a rebuild in an effort to get a top tier QB who could compete with Mahomes and Herbert over the next decade.

Depending on how serious it is, he could lose millions in his rookie deal. I wouldn’t be surprised to see projected first round picks be healthy scratches from the Combine and Pro Days in the future. Why risk it?

i assume its too late to withdraw from the draft?

I'm sure it is. If this is as bad as it looks for him though, the damage is likely done. Recovery will likely take him out for at least the first half of the coming season, and he is not likely to have as strong a season coming off of injury and not being across from Hutchinson. He could fall even further if he suffers a setback and misses the entire season.

He is likely better off taking his tumble in the draft. A team that can afford to redshirt him will take him, it's not like he'll go undrafted. He could have gone top five though.

I read that they heard a pop in the ankle area. Could be an Achilles. If it is an Achilles, he could even fall out of the draft. 

*Edit* The Achilles is just speculation on my part. 

I don't think he will fall further than the 3rd or 4th round. The Lions are becoming Achilles experts, I would definitely consider him at 66. We can afford a redshirt season.

mike hughes was let go in minny for a reason: he was terrible.  he was sheltered in kansas city and when he played against good teams that game planned (like buffalo or the chargers) he got roasted.  see above.

he's a depth piece and a swing on a guy with draft pedigree, but the odds that hughes will be good are low.  

i hope okudah is healthy, oruwariye contines to improve, and hughes rarely sees the field.
