00:00Pointed out that the F them picks move that everybody always cites is Stafford clearly
00:08Uh, and not it wasn't just Stafford. They got Jalen Ramsey as well
00:11The the rams got hyper aggressive gave up. They went like six years without a first round pick
00:15They just traded first round picks like crazy and a bunch of picks and won a super bowl
00:20It was a strategy that they executed and it worked
00:24uh
00:25There were there have been other f them picks moves and other organizations have done it and I mentioned how
00:31Denver gave up two first two seconds and a fifth for russell wilson
00:35and it it
00:37Failed spectacularly deshaun watson
00:40To cleveland was for three firsts a third and two fourths
00:44and that has
00:46Obviously been an absolute disaster for cleveland
00:50And I cited those as f them picks moves that didn't work. I and it's
00:55You know
00:57It doesn't mean i'm afraid to make a big move. Let me be clear on that
01:02It's just if you're going to make a move like that
01:08It can fail catastrophically short term and handcuff you long term
01:15So the fit
01:16Has to be perfect in every way. You can't make a trade in the nfl that guarantees you're going to win a super bowl
01:23You can make a trade in the nfl and the lions could
01:26And i'm I would imagine are attempting right now
01:29To strengthen their percent chance of winning the super bowl
01:34Look as much as a setback as hutch was I think all it did was hurt their percent chance of winning the super bowl
01:39But it didn't reduce it to zero. They're still in a better shape in better shape than a lot of teams
01:44including
01:46maybe
01:47Maybe every team
01:48In the nfc, I think we'll know in the next four weeks given who they play where they play them the defenses they will face
01:55And if the lions can ride this elite offense
01:58To a super bowl and can their defense do enough?
02:02but
02:03I guess I wanted to bring up the spectacular fails in f them pick moves
02:08Just to remind people that it guarantees nothing and if you're wrong, it handcuffs you long term
02:15So the lions have set this thing up
02:18Where they've signed their own guys with an expectation that they will continue to win throughout this era of lions football with aman ra with penny
02:25Sewell
02:26You know with david montgomery and elaine mcneil and with derek goff
02:30and so
02:32They could wreck it
02:34with one
02:35Really bad f them picks move. So you have to be sure the fit has to be perfect
02:42which is why
02:43When you when you bring players up
02:46And you realize that that guy might not have the motor
02:49I mean there was that that was kind of the knock against chase young or a guy might want too much money
02:54Which might have been the knock against montez sweat the two big edge rushers that were available last year and the lions didn't move on
03:03Those fits weren't perfect what could be a for a perfect pick well a perfect fit
03:10that's for them to determine if they find it, I hope they move on it, but
03:14Bottom line is it just has to be perfect
03:17Has to be perfect. It's not I think this will work. It's a it's got to work. It's got to come
03:23Really really close to not anything. You can't guarantee anything, but it's really got to be a perfect fit
03:27Yeah, and it's uh, I think that there are certainly players that would be but again, are they even available and
03:35You have to operate
03:37Under the guise of you know what you're doing
03:40And you have to have a plan your plan can't be a one-year plan your plan has to be
03:44Years down the road and I think it's clear and obvious
03:48that brad holmes has a long-term plan for the lions, otherwise, we wouldn't have seen the
03:53Signings that they've made in the last year with
03:55St. Brown and sewell and goff and mcneil and and all these other players and in montgomery and all these guys giving
04:02Extensions before they're due
04:04There's a reason they're doing that they're looking long term and they're seeing this long term
04:07And he also knows how much money he's got to spend in the meantime. Yes, there's cap space for this current season
04:13Which might make all the sense in the world?
04:16to go get hassan reddick because this is a move that will not hurt you in the future if you're able to
04:21convince him
04:23To play here without getting an extension and that and that's and that's the one
04:27But that's one that you're not gonna have to trade three first to get them
04:30No, you're first to get you probably can get away with one pick and it doesn't have to be a first rounder
04:34The jets are trying to recoup they're getting nothing out of san reddick. They've traded multiple draft picks
04:40Second and third rounders second or third rounders, I guess because they're they're conditional picks. They probably would take one of those back
04:48And so that's the one that I think is in play. But if you have a perfect fit, i'm not afraid to go big
04:54but
04:55It's probably why
04:57That big move
04:59Is unlikely because there's so few perfect fits out there
