You are assuming they are done. Don’t be surprised if Detroit doesn’t deal Goff this or next year. They weren’t close enough to build for this yearguessing New England was out because of Pats hiring Patricia back. though apart from that the Pats next Qb will be in a tough spot. Trying to replace Brady on a team gutted of offensive talent.
as for the trade I am not sure I like it for either team. I know the Rams feel like they have the roster to be champs, and the time to strike is now while their defense is as good as it is. I get that logic, but I'm not sure Stafford is that much of an upgrade over Goff, and then strapping two first rounders to the trade on top of it is tough. Granted it frees them from a horrendous contract, though Stafford's contract is not exactly peanuts. Stafford is a good fantasy QB and a good paper QB, I am still trying to decide if he is a good real life QB, and he has a bit of an injury history as well.
The Lions are in rebuilding mode for sure, though thats not the QB I would have rebuilt with, nor the coach, for that matter. Got Two first- round picks out of the deal so that's good. However, they have to wait till next year and the year after, and of course, they have Goff's contract to deal with.
Maybe but that's a hard sell. Rams attached two first round picks and another pick to move Goff for Stafford. Of course you can make the argument Stafford is an upgrade, but I question by how much. Stafford is 33 and has an injury history and Detroit still got big time picks to swap qbs. I think Lions likely would have to give one of those first rounders back to move Goff.You are assuming they are done. Don’t be surprised if Detroit doesn’t deal Goff this or next year.

Yes, this is win now for Rams, but win later for Lions. Stafford with a REAL OL, will be very, very good.Maybe but that's a hard sell.

if they beat Stafford up, they will lose and lose big. As they will have losses on Def. side due to FA. Again, this feels like HC is all in or out this season.I don't know that there were a lot of options out there for the Rams, so I can see this trade and I hope it works out for them, hate to see that defense go to waste, but I can also see this possibly blowing up in their face too. Stafford has all the physical tools, and stats, but hasn't been on winning teams, I know a lot of that is not his fault, but he also makes a lot of mistakes. I think it takes him a year to get the system down and get the bad organization,bad team out of him. The Rams in my view have a two year window, before defense starts to age out and raises come due that make it too hard to keep everyone.
You ate the cost of Goff to get the two first round picks. I can see them using him and drafting for the future maybe next year or this year depending on how Qbs fall. Golladay is gone, I don't see Lions resigning him. They also may lose Marvin Jones as well. So no real Wrs at all for Goff, which is why I would build line and def this draft, and focus on Qb and Wr in the next two years.That's just my view. I'm no expert,but that's my thoughts on the situation.
If I'm the Lions, not sure what I do. Not a big believer in Goff,but I'm not shipping off picks to move him. He did have a good season 2 years ago. Unless you can unload him without giving up picks, I'd give him a shot. Lions aren't in contention anyway. From a fantasy perspective Golladay doesn't look nearly as good for next year. I think Kupp might be a bargain.
