We didn’t expect to compete for the championship last season, but Hooker solves the backup problem for three more seasons. The Lions don’t automatically screw their season if Goff goes down. You can’t just assume he will never get hurt or sign elsewhere. Developmental players free up resources so you can make other moves.
@@ericspicer5132Of course it does. Idiot fans can’t get beyond madden level thinking. A 3rd round pick isn’t going to kill anything this regime has going on. This is the same group of people who wanted to trade for Chase Young for 2 months.
So everyone thought Brian branch was going to be what he is? Even LaPorta being him or maybe ARSB being great!?! No so why can't Manu be good year one or two? Mingo is a beast and could actually add help on the D-line that's the great thing about it BH knows his job and gets it done!
I bet the BC tackle is going to be used heavily in eligible down lineman plays. He moves well vertically. Elite even. Laterally he is below nfl average. These facts won't change with footwork or technique. Bit he is 6 foot 8 and athletic as hell. He will be the perfect TE/FB/T hybrid.
lions aren't really reliant on any one player on offense to show up. they have 4 workhorses in amon-ra, laporta, gibbs and montgomery. their WR#2 doesn't need to be a game changer; if last season was anything to go by we made do with cycling many players at that position.
Everyone wants a "premiere" edge rusher to "put us over the top". wtf is Aiden Hutchinson? With the addition of Reader and the revamped secondary, he is going to rake this year.
Mike is quite wrong when he says hooker will never play here,hes Goffs replacement and the guy who is gonna take us all the way when Goff starts playing like Goff in a big moment next season
This has gotta be the dumbest shit I've ever read. Hooker will NEVER be a starting QB for the Lions as long as Goff is here. Nothing says I lack football knowledge than a statement like this. You're out of your mind if you think Brad & Dan are gonna hand the keys over to some dude who's never played a down in the NFL. Picking hooker was an absolute waste of a 3rd.
@@bmc12597 wrong my man,Goff will be traded once Hooker ascends,Holmes doesnt waste 3rds Hooker was always Goffs replacement when he inevitably Goffs it up this year.Just wait and see the regression,youll be calling for Goffs head by Thanksgiving
Love the Arnold pick but not impressed with Rakestraw. I see his potential though. Had a moving story during the draft as a premature baby. Don't Like that we traded a 3rd next year for a 4th rd player from Canada. Feel like Holmes always gets fleeced in pick trading. Our 1st and 3rd this year to move up five spots and a 7th next year?! Like all the other picks. Solid draft. #LFG #GoLions
The Lions got very few snaps for the coming year from this class. Maybe 1 CB sees what could be called significant time. Not what I was expecting at all as there were a ton of snaps available through drafting a good OL, DE, WR3 competitor and one CB. We really only saw 1 out of 4 spots where guys could legitimately play this year have competent players selected.
Mahogany will be a fill in starter at some point this season. Injuries on the O line and secondary every season. I bet we see at least 3 of these players on the field and probably a 4th with Vaki playing special teams.
They will definitely both see significant snaps and it was our biggest need, Drafted 2 on the Oline one depth one project. I’d rather have another top end DB than a rookie WR, we have to count on Jamo taking a step. The Dline was addressed in free agency. You can’t be outstanding at every position, it’s impossible
@@Makers745 We will have to see but I doubt both guys beat out the hungry and experienced vets we have for major roles. CB is so hard to play well as a rookie. The health of Mosely will likely be a main factor as when he is ready to go he is a very legit dude. We would have been alot better with him last year than we were.
@@troyclaerhout2412 This was the best OL class in so long and if you are excited about Mahogany being the one we landed along with a Candian Freak Show that is a low bar. But I will join you in betting on Mahogany over Sorsdal as our vet depth at OL is pretty much a bad joke too.
@@TheKeysToWisdom Glasgow was cut from the broncos and was a borderline pro bowler last season. Hank will get the most out of Mahogany. Vildor should've never been in the NFC championship game and this draft just solved that major issue.
You people? Brad is betting Wingo is his next Aaron Donald. Decker gave up 8 sacks, Sewell gave up 1, they need to switch. Don't need Goff getting blindsided this year.
This game requires good back-ups to be a playoff team and we just got 2 good(not great yet) corners, I have no problem with the picks. He got 2 players who can play 1st season, unlike Atlanta who took a player who won't see the field for 2-3 yrs.
What win now window? With Brad Holmes every year is a Super Bowl run year, fellas. Hooker played in a goofy Tennessee O that only had 1 WR running routes. The other WR did nothing. Is Hooker as smart as Geno Smith? Able to pick up McVay's playbook in 2 years? Russell Wilson couldn't in Seattle when OC Shane Waldron was hired. Waldron is now w/Bears. Can't wait to see if Caleb will bust too. I still believe Penix will be the Dan Marino of this draft, late.
I am with your guys regarding third round picks. Last year, if Detroit had chosen the next pick after Hendon Hooker instead of a QB, they could have had Tank Dell, who had 47 catches for 709 yards. There is an example of a depth WR people are discussing.
This is just a weak point. If the Rams pass on Cam Akers and draft the next guy who went off the board, they have Jalen Hurts and never trade for Stafford. If they don’t trade for Stafford, the Lions don’t get Gibbs. If the Lions don’t het Gibbs, they don’t go to the nfc championship. Don’t do this to yourself. Tank Dell was drafted by the Texans. That’s it.
I know mike is all about going “all in” and all about our “window” but to me, its very clear lions and brad holmes dont look at this team in the terms of being inside a made up window. They are building for the long haul and to stay relevent for a long time. They are not doing an all in type of build where if it doesnt work they have to tear it all down and restart. They are trying to build a team that stays relevent in the superbowl conversation for a longer period of time. If your opinion is thats dumb, or they have to go all in, or they are in a window and shouldnt be grabbing developmental players for the future, just know. The lions and brad holmes disagree and have a different plan. Your entitled to your opinion but thats not the plan clearly
@@Detroitplayer313 I thought they were unknowns? Which is it? It’s going to be fun watching the lions pick in the top ten again in the 2025 nfl draft 😂

It’s a turnaround for not only the organization but also the fact that they won over Mike
The lions are tied with the ravens at 7 picks for next year so why are they acting like we only have 2 picks next year

I feel like you guys should at least do some level of research.

Also, there is a chance that there are a few contracts up where the Lions may hunt free agents for once. And that 3rd or fourth may not be necessary.

Brad is using the middle round picks to grab players with elite traits but not elite production. It makes sense.
It ensures we get them and Brad is confident in his ability to get middle round talent in the late rounds.
