Can you imagine even just getting three solid starters in one draft? I doubt the Colts pick will be a 1st rounder. I believe that is conditional on how many snaps Wentz plays. If the Colts season continues this way, I have to imagine they will bench him to avoid giving up that 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They thought trading up for Waddle (and I like Waddle) is what the franchise needed. To do so they gave up their 2022 1st rd pick, currently slotted at 3rd overall. Well on their way to botching their rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motown Bombers Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I'm not too disappointed by the Ragnow injury. This is a lost season. We know what Ragnow is. The most devastating injury is the Okudah injury. He was the one defensive player with upside and his career is likely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1984Echoes Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 At least one of these college Sr. QB's needs to develop into a franchise-savior... real quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jags and Lions will be battling alone. Jags don't need a QB which is good for us if they get #1. This team has almost no players that are currently starting that would start anywhere else. So while I don't wish for injuries like we saw today with Frank Ragnow, I do think our rebuild is being sped up given the great draft position we are likely to be getting as a result of this depleted and injured roster.

sagnam Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 It would be fitting that no QB ends up being franchise level the year the Lions tank for a QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost every former Lions GM, given their drafting track record, would have missed on at least 2 of 3 picks. Quinn, Mayhew, Millen (he'd have missed on all 3), Ross, Schmidt, Russ Thomas, all of them would have found a way to end up with one or fewer starters out of that. So Eagles fans better hope Howie Roseman still knows what he's doing because that is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're picking #2 I would hope they like at least two of the QBs so we don't have to surrender a high draft pick to move up. At this rate though, we're doing a good enough job tanking that we might not have to worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I have no interest in taking any of the QBs with our first pick, take BPA with our 1st and WR with our second. 2023 looks to be shaping up much better for QBs with guys like Bryce Young, CJ Stroud and more. Since we're gonna suck next year too might as well wait and get a better guy while also building up the rest of the team first. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s too long into the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't take a QB just to take a QB, that's how you end up with a Tua. If there are no good QB's then wait. Speaking of Tua, maybe that WAS the year the Lions should have taken a QB. Herbert is looking like the real deal. Edited October 12, 2021 by sagnam 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not against them drafting a QB, but I haven't seen any in college this year that are worth that high of a selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Sagnam said you can't take a qb just to take one, also there is no hard and fast rule on when to take a QB. There are different scenarios all throughout the league that have proved to work but imo the worst way to go is drafting a qb when you still have a ton of holes all over the field.

If the Lions had taken Brady, he'd currently be a banker or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
