So what happens if the TE they draft is good? The Lions also are like top 3 in cap space right now and they didn't acquire any additional assets. They traded him for pick swaps.
Hockenson with Minnesota was on pace for over 100 catches. I just find it hard to believe they are going to in turn spend one of their high assets they received from the Hockenson trade to replace him when they didn't even fully utilize Hockenson.
