Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff got a big vote of confidence from general manager Brad Holmes on Tuesday after a terrific second season with the NFC North team.
The Lions could potentially lower the cap hit on Goff and select a quarterback in the first round. However, the Lions were 28th in points allowed and 32nd in yards allowed.
"I think it has a lot of merit and there's a lot of proof behind that," Holmes added."You can see countless examples of guys that got drafted high. Obviously, Patrick Mahomes comes up right off the bat of them trading up, taking him high and sitting. Then the guy that we just got done playing in Aaron Rodgers, you know. So there's a lot of proof in the pudding in taking that approach, and I don't see anything wrong with it.
Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions looks to pass against the Panthers at Bank of America Stadium on Dec. 24, 2022, in Charlotte, North Carolina. "It's a premium position – they don't grow on trees – they're really hard to find. Just like I said earlier, it's easy to get worse at that position than to get better at that position because there's so few of them. But I'm not against at all that philosophy of draft one, let him sit and develop, and kind of just kind of see what you got down the road."
Goff had 4,438 passing yards and 29 touchdown passes in 2022. It was the second-most touchdown passes he’s had in his career. The Lions were fifth in points scored and fourth in yards gained in 2022.
