That might be the best case scenario for the short and long term success of the team. That would mean they drafted 2 first rounders for the defense (unless they got a stud WR at #7). Probably got Jones in the 2nd and went defense with the rest of the draft. Fitz probably leads the Lions to more than 5 wins next year.

If it's Wilson or Fields, it probably means that the Lions had to trade up to get them. A team with so little draft capitol should not be trading up.

I'd prefer Wilson or Trask personally but suspect the Lions will draft Fields which will be a mistake IMO

 

[mhughes0021]

Trey lance is most likely to be the 4th qb taken and the only one left on the board at 7.

Don't trade up. Make a move for a vet qb if you can't draft a starter.

Trask will probably last until the 3rd round. Wilson might get picked ahead of Fields.

Fields is probably the most talented outside of Lawrence. That said, his decision making is suspect. He needs to go somewhere that he can learn, not get fed to the wolves. I suspect that the Lions would feed him to the wolves and he would fail.

The real question might be which QB would truly be excited to be a Lion? They should seriously have a body language expert review each one's Body Language when they answer the question during any pre-draft interviews when hopefully they'd ask How would you like to be a Lion? I mean I only want people that would actual want to be here. Suh never wanted to be here for example.

I think a QB with an underdog mentality would work best. That's why I like Mac Jones. I know he came from the best team in the country, but he was a guy that nobody thought would succeed. He seems very accurate. He reminds me of Joe Burrow. Probably get him late in the 1st or with their 2nd round pick.

I’m going other. Should be a lot of stop gap QBs available. Newton, Kaepernick, Winston, Marriota, Foles, Taylor. Then a couple younger options who could turn their careers around like Darnold or Tribusky.

If we do draft a QB, I want Fields.

Yep. This is who i want. I'd take him over anyone but Lawrence.

I can get behind wilson, lance or mac Jones.... probably in that order. I like wilson and lance's mobility.

I really don't like fields... his 1 read then bolt thing he does isn't sustainable. Alot of talent but probably the biggest project imo.

I don't think mac Jones makes it past 15-20. Let me rephrase...i don't think the 5th qb off the board makes it past 15-20. That might end up being fields.

 

[mhughes0021]

Here's an other option not listed.... stafford. What if aaron Rodgers retires? Might be tempting to be the top qb in a division finally after 12 years.

 

[Mitchrapp]

No Fields. OSU QB just have a thing about themselves.

 

[LKP]

Zach Wilson and Tyrod Taylor will be on the Lions in 2021

 

[byco42]

One of these three:

Garapolo, Minshew, Bridgewater. In other words, I have no idea.

I read another article that suggested A.J. McCarron, so, him too.

That.....or nobody comes in with a decent deal. Seems like a no brainer that Indy or Washington will offer decent packages.....but it's not a given. Teams will have to figure out cap situations with an actual reduction this year.

If I'm the Lions.....my #1 option is if Miami truly IS interested in taking offers for Tua....Stafford for Tua and their later 1st rounder?

I'd do that. It's not as if Tua was bad this year. Miami Oline was AWFUL and they had no running game.

Zach Wilson and Tyrod Taylor will be on the Lions in 2021

That's a best case scenario. I'd like that a lot.

Taylor has been a solid fill in guy. Wilson has the potential to be really good.

LOL
Tua was the least pressured QB in the league.

And he still stunk it up

I love how cherry pick stats. He also had very low time in the pocket before pressure.

So it says he didn't hold the ball at all. Quick passes. Same with Fitz. 2nd lowest avg time before pressure in the NFL. Doesn't mean the line was good.

I'd take Tua before Fields, Lance or Trask.

Tua wasn't pressured or good at those quick passes then. They know he can't throw deep either. Glad Lions get a QB this draft and not Tua. Garbage player
