In a vacuum yes, however, McDuffie is going to be looking for a record setting contract at the end of the season or he's going to be a FA or we franchise tag him for 20+ million. I'm concerned about our ability to resign our own guys. The factor of him needing a massive contract should have equated just pick 29. Then again, I'm not too worried about the last pick in the 3rd.Where would McDuffie be slotted in this upcoming draft, especially knowing he’s a sure thing?
Then, sitting at #29… how much would it cost to move up and get him?
It feels like we got a fair deal.
That said… I sure hope we somehow nab an offensive weapon with that #13… but no doubt the Rams will stress me out on a trade down.
They shouldn't.
Where ya gonna take that rangy, 3 down LB that I think we need in your scenario? Somebody much better than Speights, too.
Yeah and I've been on X and the Lions reddit page. They've actually been blaming brad Holmes for their decline.
This would be amazing. I don't think they can swing it, but Love would put this offense back to the Gurley days and 35 a game. It would also make the D a whole lot better.
I think he was suggesting that this trade could lead to the Chiefs (not Rams) trying to move-up for Love.
The little that I've seen on him says he's best suited as a 2 down backer.
Which ones would you have preferred? I wasn't all that impressed by the options available in free agency but I am definitely not an expert
Yep. This I like. Remember this however: I keep hearing 14 to 16 first round grades in this draft which is low. So trading out of 13 means your are likely getting a 2nd round grade with even a small move down. The talent between 20 and 40 is fairly even. I really like like Johnson though.
