With Saturday's trade, the Rams will go seven years without a first-round pick, a streak that started in 2017 and ends in 2024, at the earliest. Their last first-round selection was Goff, whom they traded up from No. 15 to select No. 1 overall in 2016. LOL.

The Rams do draft well but this is insane not having a first round pick for so long.

It will be interesting to see how it plays out. I still think Detroit won the trade given the amount of picks even if Goff doesn’t work out.

Brad Holmes rose through the ranks with the Rams organization, working his way up from a scouting assistant to the director of college scouting. He signed a five-year contract with the Lions to oversee what looks like a rebuild.

Holmes has familiarity with Goff, whom the Rams selected with the No. 1 overall pick in 2016. He'll also acquire premium draft picks to revamp the roster in the coming years.

The Lions dealt an aging quarterback with two years left on his deal for a good haul. Detroit will have two first-round picks in 2022 and 2023. Holmes could use the draft capital to fill voids across the roster or package them to move up for a quarterback.

Going into the 2021 campaign, the Lions have a solid placeholder at quarterback in Goff. If he's not the guy, the future draft picks allow the front office to change course. After the 2022 campaign, Detroit can release Goff and save $23.9 million in cap space, per Over the Cap.

If the Lions hit on early draft picks, the franchise can take a positive turn in the coming years. More importantly, Detroit has flexibility because of the compensation it received for Stafford.

Detroit won this trade.

But then again it’s also all about Matthew Stafford. Aaron Rodgers raves about Matthew Stafford all the time. No question, Stafford is good. He’s never really had a great team around him in Detroit. So who knows, if he wins the Super Bowl with the Rams of course it was worth it. We’ll see.
