Good poіnt аbout tһe drаft clаss

I'm sure the Lions would've loved to keep Jonah Jackson, but guard is usually a good spot to address in the draft. You're not scouting many projects with limited starts at that position. You're getting 3-, 4-, even 5-year players who are developed and ready to roll.

No vested іnterest іn tһіs opіnіon

I watched almost every snap Jonah Jackson played last season. And I wouldn't want to be paying him $17M a year. when I'm already paying another OG big money.

Jackson is a solid player, but the issues in pass protection would definitely concern me at this rate. https://t.co/L5b25b8Rbz

Rаms fаns seem over tһe moon

Reminder: Jonah Jackson is a Pro Bowler and has familiarity with Matthew Stafford. The #Rams got a good one. This OL is going to be disgusting. Kyren Williams stock WAY UP

Jаckson аs а medіcаl rіsk

Jonah Jackson had multiple different injuries in 2023
-L high ankle sprain, missed 3g
-wrist injury, 2g
-L meniscus, missed last 1.5g of season

The wrist and meniscus are potential long-term concerns…

Tһe Rаms copyіng tһe Lіons?

Rams signing Jonah Jackson is further evidence of the transformation of Sean McVay. They've gone from smaller athletic OL to now harvesting big maulers to run it right at you and to protect Matthew Stafford.

Correct аssumptіon

Good deal for Glasgow, iOL growth in the mid-level as well.

Guessing this means perhaps Jonah Jackson has been priced out of Detroit https://t.co/OYPgs5G8I1

Some fаn reаctіons

The Jonah Jackson deal is an absurd overpay imo. He’s my top candidate for Laken of the offseason (benefitted from good surrounding and vastly overpayed)
