As a Lions fan who has a lot of confidence in our front office (it feels weird just writing that), I'm trying to gage how I would feel if Brad and Dan did this. I still don't think I could get behind it. I didn't love it when the Lions took Hendon Hooker IN THE 3RD to do just about what the Falcons are doing here. Draft an older prospect QB to groom for the possible future. I get that Cousins is way older than Goff so that the Falcon's horizon is a lot closer but I still cannot see this as a smart use of resources.
