Despite acquiring Jared Goff Lions leavi

The Detroit Lions have a culture to change and voids to fill in multiple areas of the team's roster, yet that didn't keep the team's new general manager from throwing a bit of signal-caller bait into the conversation Tuesday.Brad Holmes covered a myriad of topics during his se sion with reporters, acknowledging the strength of the 2021 cla s at a variety of positions. Despite acquiring in a trade that will become official with the start of the new league year, Holmes didn't shy away from talking quarterback."This draft cla s is a good cla s overall. There are some positions of strength," Jose Canseco Jersey Holmes said. "I think that the quarterback cla s is good this year. I like the crop of quarterbacks that are coming out in this year's draft. Dennis Eckersley Jersey That's obviously always a very, very important position. When you're picking inside the top 10, I don't think there's really a position that you can look past. ... When you're picking inside the top 10, you better know every single position regardle s of what your circumstances currently on your roster."Completion of research acro s all positions is a valid point made by Holmes and a nece sity for any effective personnel chief, but after adding Goff and a collection of picks in the deal that sent west, it would appear to be low on Detroit's long list of priorities. Chief among them is receiver, something coach Dan Campbell admitted Tuesday, but Holmes' response sure did sound as if the Lions aren't just glo sing over the position because they've found their immediate answer in Goff."What's cool about this year is that they're in all different flavors," Holmes continued. "You have the guy that can actually do it all, can do it from the pocket, do it with his legs; you have another guy that's probably a little more does it with his Joe Morgan Jersey legs, a little bit more being creative; there's another guy that actually probably does it more from the pocket. All the different flavors makes it very intriguing in terms of when you're looking acro s the whole scope of the cla s of these quarterbacks."We do think again when you're picking in the top 10 ... you make sure you know that quarterback cla s very thoroughly. I do think that, to be elaborate, the intriguing part is they have their all-different genres and flavors. What's been great about (it) for the Lions is Rickey Henderson Jersey that Dan and coach (Anthony) Lynn, they've been in lock-step in terms of the visions, been clear in terms of when you look at scheme and this and that and all those minute details, it's 'OK, what do our players do best?' and making sure our players are going to be put in the best position to succeed. So you take the same approach with the quarterbacks and see what their superpower is and is that superpower the best thing that's going to fit for the Lions?"Frankly, the Lions need heroes elsewhere, but this would be an excellent attempt to drive up the value of Detroit's first-round Andrew Triggs Jersey pick, which sits at seventh overall. The Lions wouldn't need to do all that much to make their pick more valuable than it already is, especially with teams like New England, Washington, Chicago and Pittsburgh seated behind them in the first-round order and lacking long-term options at the position.It could be a great opportunity to add more draft capital though, and with the Lions heading into the offseason with a need at receiver, guard and safety (among depth needs elsewhere), they could use additional picks.
