I think the Lions would fall all over themselves to give us a 2 for Sneed. I think they're drafting at like 61 - they'd do that in a heartbeat, IMO. And they'd probably throw a 4 and maybe some capital next year in for good measure. They BADLY need a player exactly like Sneed on that roster. And his mindset/attitude fits perfectly with Campbell's approach. Shit, if there's a team in the league that would give up a 1st for Sneed it's Detroit. And frankly, they wouldn't be crazy to do so. Sneed will help them more over the next 2 or 3 seasons than that draft pick will. And the draft is deep at WR and OL where they're already fairly young and fairly strong. If the Lions would give us their 2 and Jameson Williams for Sneed, I'm pretty sure I'd have to do it. |

Yeah the Lions don't have to pay any of their star players except St Brown soon.
The 29th pick probably isn't getting you a guy you need right now to get where you need to go. And quite honestly GB is gonna be a problem with Love and the weapons they have. Having Sneed cut off one of those guys is huge for that defense. It makes too much sense. The time is now and they should treat it as such |
Quote:
Ultimately I think they could probably get him moved for about a 3rd rounder based on little more than his pedigree. So if you use him as a proxy for a 3rd round value (and their 3rd isn't worth a ton) it comes down to Sneed for a 2nd and 3rd. That seems equitable. And Jameson is still damn fast - he essentially steps right into the MVS role and we could go drafting for the replacement that Skyy/Toney was supposed to be. |

I believe it was like the 2013 NBA offseason (edit: 2016 offseason) where all the TV money hit at once and the cap went up something like 30% in a single offseason. Everyone had money and man did they spend it in the stupidest ways imagineable. Pretty much every team that signed a FA regretted it immediately. That's just what happens in a flush marketplace. Stupid money gets thrown around and the only way to win at that point is not to play. Well the Lions HAVE to get better. The NFC is too wide open and they came too far (and too fast) to just sit on their hands. They need to improve their defense and the smart way for them to do that is to avoid FA in the process. So you trade for Sneed and his tag charge, use that as leverage to put together a more reasonable extension and you're cooking with gas. Absolutely everything about a trade for Sneed makes sense from the Lions perspective. The only question will be how much you could extract from them in the process. It would likely be a pretty fair amount. |
What about swinging the below trade with the Eagles?
Philly: #32 + Sneed KC: #22 + #53 We move up 10 spots in the first to get our BPA at OT or WR, and we get #53. KC picks: #22 #53 #64 EDIT: Shit, this would even position us to slide up further if there's a guy in the 12-16 range we covet. |

Not interested in Jamo but if his throw in kept us from drafting Franklin sign me up.

With the way we draft and develops DBs, I just can’t see paying Sneed. |
Quote:
Getting from 32 to 22 is essentially going to cost a late 2nd. So it would be like trading Sneed for a pair of 2nds. I don't think Philly would give up that much. |
FYI - if we did that, I'd probably go Guyton/Mims and then Walker/McMillan with our 2 2nd rounders.
OT in the first and a pair of WR possibilities that would both complement Rice in their own way in the 2nd. Use the 3rd and 4th round on IOL and DT. |

We MIGHT not get the job done one of these years. In fact every season the odds favor that we won't. The field is a better bet every time. But how can anyone watch what we've seen the last 2 seasons and say "eh, we're not going anywhere" on the basis of losing a single player not named Patrick Mahomes? We don't NEED both of those guys to 3-peat. We didn't need Tyreek Hill to win in 2022. We didn't need DeAndre Hopkins to win in 2023. We won't need Chris Jones and La'Jarius Sneed in 2024. |

I think it's better to say "those two make it more likely we win, or atleast make it easier".

Everyone else can/will be replaced. Kelce being the only other exception. He seems to just be playing for the rings. He’d probably retire before playing elsewhere. |

An upgrade beyond that makes us elite. |

I'm far more inclined to lose Sneed than Jones because this draft class is stacked in the top 50-60 at CB.
All of these guys can play: Terrion Arnold, Alabama Quinyon Mitchell, Toledo Cooper DeJean, Iowa Nate Wiggins, Clemson Kool Aid McKinstry, Alabama Kamari Lassiter, Georgia Ennis Rakestraw, Missouri Kalen King, Penn State TJ Tampa, Iowa State Give me any one of those guys in the top 2 rounds and I guarantee the impact from losing Sneed drops a full degree. If you have to use the pick from trading Sneed to get a CB, it's not a loss because you've gained the cap space to retain the other parts. |
Quote:
|
I'll be honest, though, I really don't want to lose Sneed. He's a bit of a unicorn as a physically dominant shut-down corner. If his knee really isn't great though, I could see moving on. As I've said around a billion times already, I trust the FO to make the right decision.

Quote:
Of course I recognize that he was the best CB in the league last year. But I'm thinking about the next 3 years. |

And those penalties are Sneed testing the waters. They're always early and he always plays solid after them. |
Watching the rerun of the 2020 combine and I cannot believe the Dolphins watched Herbert throw 50 yards bombs like it was pitch and catch and decided to go with an undersized broke dick that had average arm strength

Watched most of the DL group drills. Braden Fiske looks like an absolute stud. Electric showing by him today. Jared Verse looks really good. Byron Murphy, Ruke Orhorhoro, Myles Cole (HUGE and fast) were impressive. Also thought Maason Smith, Marshawn Kneeland, and Gabe Hall looked good.
Wasn't impressed with Myles Murphy, Zion Logue, and a couple others. |
Florida State was stacked on the DL last season with Fiske, Verse, and Fabien Lovett. All 3 of those guys looked good today.
