RIPPA Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 43 minutes ago, LF2 said: I like the answers Rippa gave but I’d also include Seattle and Detroit. Both have two first round picks and QBs they could move on from should they get the #1 pick. I think Seattle is gonna do what the Giants are going to do and overpay their current QB. At worst, Seattle will franchise Geno for a year and kick the QB decision a year down the road. Jared Goff is actually a "bargain" for the Lions (relative to what the QB market dictates). He will be paid $26 million for each of the next two seasons. As comparison - the belief is the Giants are going to give Daniel Jones roughly $38 million a year. By the time next season starts - that would put him roughly as the 15th highest paid QB (Lamar, Herbert and Burrow's new deals will shoot the market upwards) Obviously not as cheap as a QB on a rookie contract but cheap enough to continue to build around him for the next two seasons then have to give up multiple picks for a hope that a guy doesn't bust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better if they have their choice. I think they’ll have to be fine with that, because if anyone trades up to #1 clearly it’s to take a QB. To me I’d prefer Young (even with the size criticisms).

Brian Fowler Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Lions shouldn't go after one of the top QBs, but if the Florida kid slips to 18, I wouldn't mind them taking a flyer on him and letting him develop for a year or two behind Goff.

Paying Jones that much when his career high in TD passes is 24, and that was his rookie season should be criminal. He put up those 24 in 12 starts (which does impress me) then he’s regressed to 11 TDs in 14 starts, 10 TDs in 11 starts, and 15 TDs in 16 starts. Yes his INT numbers have went down, but the lack of touchdowns is troubling too. I agree on Goff being a bargain too. He looked like he did during his better LA years for parts of this season, and the Lions made strides with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoFistsJustFlips Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I don't disagree that they'll be over paying Jones. But let's at least mention that Richie James, Isiah Hodges, & Darius Slayton is probably a bottom 5 receiver core. The Giants offensive success this year was based on scheme and Jones & Barkley dragging the rest of the team along for the ride by sheer force of will. Jones might be as good as those year one numbers show if he had the year one receiving group again. Or maybe not. But downing his play based solely on numbers doesn't tell the full story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
