The LA Rams traded quarterback Jared Goff to the Detroit Lions, plus a lot of draft picks, for their quarterback Matthew Stafford. While we’ve spent the majority of our time translating what all of this means for the LA Rams, there have been some curious calls for the Lions to draft a quarterback from the 2021 NFL Draft. I find that curiously, wrong.
For better or worse, the Lions are shackled to Goff for the next two years. So unless he tries and fails miserably for the Lions, he is their starting quarterback by default.
