Before most teams trimmed their roster to 53 players on Saturday Womens Ricky Jean Francois Jersey , the Chicago Bears shook the NFL world by trading for former Defensive Player of the Year Khalil Mack. Not only was it shocking to see the Oakland Raiders let Mack go, even though they made it very clear they had no intentions of extending him, but to see the Chicago Bears send a couple of first-round picks their way was crazy. These are the kind of trades that only happen every decade or so. ESPN’s Adam Schefter was the first to break the exact trade terms of the agreement:So even though the Bears gave up two first-round picks for Mack, the net total was actually a little less than that. They got a second and potential fifth-round pick back, while only sending a third and sixth away.Of course, that was just the beginning. After the trade was over, the Bears made Mack the highest paid defensive player in NFL history:Now looking at this from the Detroit Lions point of view, this is obviously all horrible news. A divisional rival just got one of the best defensive players in the league and will have him around for the better half of a decade. The Lions, meanwhile, have easily the worst front seven in the division and it just got even further behind after this move. So today’s Question of the Day is:Should the Lions have made the trade for Khalil Mack?My answer: Now that we know the exact price for Mack, we can actually debate whether the Lions should have made this move. A month ago, I asked Pride of Detroit readers if they’d trade two first-round picks and Ezekiel Ansah for Mack, and 58 percent of you said no. Here were my thoughts at the time:So considering this trade is actually less than that http://www.detroitlionsteamonline.com/glover-quin-jersey , I would’ve been completely fine with the Lions doing it. But the question remains whether they Lions could have done this. Because the Bears offered him an extension, Mack is still on the final year of his former contract, which comes with a $13.8 million cap hit. The Lions don’t currently have the cap space for that, but they likely could have worked around that if they really wanted to. The real trick would be trying to fit Mack’s extension into future salary caps. For each of the six years on his new deal, Mack Will carry a cap hit between $22.3 million and $24.55 million. Though the Bears have an easy out after the 2022 season, that’s still a lot of cap to be spending on a defensive player. If the Lions were to do a similar deal, it would mean no more Golden Tate, no more Ezekiel Ansah, and they’d have a hard time maintaining their offensive line beyond 2019. T.J. Lang, Graham Glasgow and Taylor Decker are all potential free agents in 2020, though the Lions have a fifth-year option for Decker.All that being said, the Lions’ lack of a pass rush is clearly going to hurt this team in 2018, and there’s no clear plan for the future. Mack would have put those concerns to bed in one fell swoop. Instead http://www.detroitlionsteamonline.com/quandre-diggs-jersey , the Lions are left sitting on their hands while the only team they were consistently beating in the division looks like they may have overtaken Detroit in one offseason. Your turn.2019 NFL Draft Watch: Defensive prospects aplenty in Auburn-Mississippi St. matchup Iowa State at #25 Oklahoma State, 3:30 p.m. EST, ESPN2Oklahoma StateRB Justice Hill, 5-foot-10, 190 pounds (Junior)Hill is a bit undersized at running back, but should the Lions part ways with LeGarrette Blount, or Theo Riddick becomes a cap casualty—or both—then they’re not going to be looking for a bell cow. They have Kerryon Johnson and they’ll likely be looking for someone to fill a role and Justice Hill could be a nice option for them.7.5 yards per carry. That’s what Hill is averaging right now in this young 2018 season. Hill is as smooth as it gets carrying the football and is a threat to break out for a big play any time he touches the ball. With his frame and playmaking ability, you’d like to see him more involved in the passing attack—only five catches in five games for 31 yards. Currently, Hill is considered to be a Day 2 prospect by most outlets, but I could easily see his stock falling pretty far if he’s unable to give teams a reason to keep him out there on third down, especially at his size. #8 Auburn at Mississippi State, 7:30 p.m. EST, ESPN2Auburn Despite their No. 8 ranking Womens Kenny Golladay Jersey , there aren’t a whole lot of top-end, draft-eligible prospects surrounding the Auburn program. A couple weeks ago, we focused on quarterback, Jarett Stidham, who struggled against LSU.This week, we turn our heads to the defensive side of the ball.IDL Derrick Brown, 6-foot-5, 325 pounds (Junior)Brown is a big dude, and with his towering height comes his inconsistent pad level. He looks every bit of his listed 325 pounds out there bulldozing through offensive linemen and through the souls of running backs/quarterbacks.When I saw this play I screamed and almost fell out of my chair. That is such a dangerous tackle, but still, the fact that he was able to pull off Triple H’s finishing move on the football field has me sold. Brown is far from a polished prospect, but I love his size and think he would be a nice fit for Patricia due to his ability to anchor and control the interior. Mississippi StateIDL Jeffrey Simmons, 6-foot-4 Womens Graham Glasgow Jersey , 300 pounds (Junior)Simmons is a name that has been often mocked to the Lions and sits as a top-10 prospect on most draft boards. He is a fantastic athlete and showcases dominance in both the run game and as a pass rusher.If the Lions were able to land Simmons, then they probably didn’t have themselves a great year—unless his production falls off drastically. However, Simmons is a great talent and is a player that you can build your front-seven around. EDGE Montez Sweat, 6-foot-6, 245 pounds (Senior)This a great draft class for teams that are looking to improve their front seven and Sweat is just another name garnering first-round hype. Though he may not have elite bend around the edge, Sweat makes up for any speed pass rushing deficiencies with his strong hand usage and technical prowess at the point of attack. Sweat is quick for his size and does a nice job of staying disciplined while keeping his eyes on the ball. A lot of the hype surrounding Sweat as a prospect is due to his sack numbers and pass rush ability, but he’s no slouch in the run game by any means. As a run defender, Sweat sets the edge well with great discipline. He’s not the type of player who’s going to take a play off or just sit there and he’s constantly using his hands to get off blocks and chase down the ball carrier.
