![]() There’s obviously some level of interest. The Lions reportedly sent scouts to five Florida games, including a handful in September for the Florida– Kentucky game that featured Richardson versus Levis. Please bear with me and put down the pitchforks for a moment. What I’m going to do now is lay out reasons why it might be on the table. Lions' Brad Holmes, Dan Campbell enter offseason eager to build on success The Lions’ offense was one of the best in football last year, while its defense was one of the worst. Holmes said he never viewed Goff as a bridge quarterback, and that it’s easier to get worse at quarterback than it is to get better. ![]() He has a reasonable contract and is only 28. ![]() Jared Goff played at a Pro Bowl level this past season.

So where does that leave the Lions?ĭetroit could look to trade up. Three quarterbacks and two defensive studs in the top five. to the Cardinals, Jalen Carter to the Bears and C.J. In this mock, Bryce Young went first to the Colts, followed by Will Levis to the Texans, Will Anderson Jr. 6 (via the Rams): Christian Gonzalez, CB, Oregon With two first-round picks, Lions GM Brad Holmes will have options and capital to acquire the players he wants. The picture is becoming a bit clearer now that we know where the Lions will be selecting in the first two rounds, and Brugler has some thoughts on which direction the Lions could opt to go.
