A decent amount of Detroit Lions fans are hoping that the team will move on with current quarterback Matthew Stafford and draft his successor in the upcoming NFL draft. The excitement from the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl win is giving fans an impression and ultimately, it’s a false hope.
The Chiefs decided to move on from quarterback Alex Smith in 2018, to do that they drafted Patrick Mahomes in the 2017 NFL Draft. Mahomes sat on the bench for a year and in the subsequent offseason, Smith was traded to the Washington Redskins.
