The problem with Jeudy is, he’s about to get paid. His 5th year option would be almost $13M which is still a relative bargain for a good WR. But then you’re looking to sign him to a long term extension at the same time as Sun God. Can they put $40-50M a year into those two guys at the same time? At a position typically churns out lots of talent most years in the draft?

That’s definitely the rub. Can’t pay them both

Brad Holmes is a boss of a GM. I’m so glad we hired him

Now I’m more fired up after watching that.
Pretty cool to see John Cominsky spotlight. The daily life and job duties of an area scout was neat to see too.

Jared Goff: I wish Aaron Rodgers was still in Green Bay so we could beat him twice a year

Posted by Michael David Smith on April 28, 2023, 4:37 PM EDT
The Lions beat the Packers twice last season, and that gave Jared Goff some bragging rights over Aaron Rodgers.

Goff said at the Lions’ draft party on Thursday night that he wishes the Packers hadn’t traded Rodgers to the Jets because he relished beating Rodgers twice last season and would like to do it again this season.

“I wish him the best in New York and I’m sure he’ll do a great job there. But I kind of wish he was still here so we could beat him twice a year,” Goff said.

Now Goff will see if he can beat Jordan Love twice a year.

I repeatedly find myself loving Goff way more than I thought I ever would.

Easier to get up for a game when Aaron Rodgers is on the other sidelines....Love, not so much

I'm going D so far on the draft. Branch and Hooker were nice ... but I think they reached on their first 3 high picks at low value positions. The trade for the DT was ridiculous.

[The King]

D-

Branch saves it from an F.

Also, getting the future 4th was nice in the Swift deal.

I think that Swift deal was stupid. Everything about all that was stupid. Gibbs could be good, but they over drafted him. Why trade swift for a 4th two years from now? They should've kept him

and odd they traded him to a team that is better than them that they might face in the playoffs (if things go well that is)

I mean D’Andre is still on our roster,” Holmes said. “He’s still a part of our team, he’s still under contract with us. He’s a dynamic football player. So, it hasn’t really changed the math there yet, but it is early. So it didn’t really change we just kind of put Jahmyr in his own separate box and just got really excited about the player, didn’t really have any bearing of D’Andre.”

Did Swift have a hissy fit?

A 4th 2 years from now to a team you WILL see if you happen to make the playoffs wreaks of narrow minded short thought out thinking.

It nets the pick as a very slight upgrade. IF his tiny body holds up to the pounding of a NFL season.

Maybe they can do like some teams in the NBA and just hold him out of the regular season and bring him in for the playoffs? They dont need him during the regular season.
