For the draft to be here and gone. The Murray talk everywhere is getting old. Love how its causing alot of activity on here, but I'm tired of hearing it on 98.7 every second. 9 more days, just 9 more days!
Oh, imagine if we actually draft him. This place will be insane throughout the entire offseason.
No worries we aren’t drafting him.
I’m with you in not wanting to draft him but what makes you say this? 99% of articles, mocks, etc. have us taking Murray.
Every year 99% of mock drafts are wrong.I’m with you in not wanting to draft him but what makes you say this? 99% of articles, mocks, etc. have us taking Murray.
Yes we are.. since we are talking in absolutes. LolNo worries we aren’t drafting him.
Trade down with the Lions for their #8 and #40. Take Hockenson with #8. Take #40 and our #65 to move back up in the first and snatch Hollywood brown. With #33 take the best o- lineman. Instantly improved offense. Give Rosen the tools and he will be much more than adequate in kingsbury offense. Edit: With our 33 pick take the best d-lineman on the board.

Not sure what the true value of what else we should receive but the gist of my post was to make this offense as explosive as possible with this draft.You'd trade down that far for only an extra 2nd rounder?
That would be the worst draft day trade in the history of the NFL lol...Trade down with the Lions for their #8 and #40. Take Hockenson with #8.

Any pick is a roll of the dice because all of us “ experts” all look at the same player. rankings. But if we drafted Hockenson with the first pick and he turned into the next Kelce or Gronk we’d look like geniuses. And if we draft Williams or Bosa and they turn out like Wendell Bryant we will look stupid no matter what their ranking was. What I’m saying is we desperately need play makers on this offense. The lions would love to have Bosa. Just another way to look at this draft other than the Murray/Bosa/Williams debate.That would be the worst draft day trade in the history of the NFL lol...
I love Hockenson but I can’t see how he would be worth the 8th overall pick in this offense and trading the #1 for #’s 8 and 40 is worse than highway robbery. It’s not remotely feasible. Would never ever happen.And a reach with hockensen at #8
To be clear, I love Hockenson.... in Arians’ offense. In this one, not so much. My bigger issue is any GM that would trade away the #1 for #’s 8 and 40 would instantly be banished from the NFL for life. His descendants would receive hate mail.Any pick is a roll of the dice because all of us “ experts” all look at the same player. rankings.

I understand what your saying about compensation. It was just an example of thinking outside the box. So for the sake of it let’s say the lions offered us this years first and second and next years first and third. I have not looked up the draft chart because as I mentioned I’m attempting to look outside the same old same old. It was more a look of how to jump start this offense with our first 3 picks as opposed to “ this is a great defensive draft”.To be clear, I love Hockenson.... in Arians’ offense.

This. And no matter who we choose this board will be just as polarized as it is on the Murray/ Rosen debate.agreed I'll be glad when everyone is onto the DRAFT GRADING and the SEASON PREVIEW stuff.
