Somebody has to explain the basics to all the Lion newbie fans. My barber (a woman if that matters) said she loves the Lions. When I said I hope they beat Washington, she asked me who they would play if they lose...lol
Yeah, it turned out great but we traded him for a future pick. I wanted him to help us win games that season. But I won't argue the long term results, everything worked out just fine. 😃
He did grest with the picks but he traded a #8 overall pick for a 2nd round pick. And at the time, there was no guarantees he would turn that pick into a Branch type player. Very good draft, from the scouting to the actual pick.
But Hock was an early draft pick, top 10 I think? And at the time, I didn't understand just a future pick for him. Like I said, the Lions had a vision without him in it and they were right. Just another example of Brad and Dan knowing best...
Many Lion fans weren't happy when the Lions traded Hockenson. He was productive here. Just another example of Lion management's vision.... But after his big mouth, mock the guy...🤣🤣
