Lions News: National NFL analysts weigh in on David Montgomery trade

“While Jahmyr Gibbs has shown he can handle a high-volume workload, Montgomery is still one of the league’s better change-of-pace and short-yardage backs. Still, Detroit should be able to find a solid complement to Gibbs in free agency or the draft. The backfield may not be as potent with a new RB2, but with Gibbs leading the rotation, it should remain functional. The Lions are getting solid compensation in return for Montgomery, plus a young lineman in Juice Scruggs. The 2023 second-round pick has 20 starts on his resume and should compete for playing time along the interior.”
