Wow. I hope, for their sake, that they're just trying to see what they can get in return for it.

I know that they have a lot of money tied up in 1st round picks, already, but they have a chance to get either McCoy or Suh here on that awful D-line. Both are difference makers. Both should propel your defense upwards and give you something to build around. Especially if they get a DE, as well.

Of course, they could fix some more holes they have if they trade back a bit, and I asume that the 2nd pick is in high demand with these DTs, so it might turn our great for the Lions in the long run....

I wonder if we should "frogleap" 20 some other teams to get up there... ;)

My vote would be, I want nothing to do with picks 1 about 10... the money involved verses the production difference gained from picks beyond that aren't worth it. IMO.

It would have to be a once in a decade type player.. and sorry I don't see that in this draft.. IMO.

It seems most teams try and get out of the top couple of spots every year, but no-one else bites, seeing as they don't want to be stuck with a $30m guaranteed rookie, either.

There's one scenario in which the Lions can rob the Buccaneers.

If the Rams decide to go with a DT, instead of a QB, the Lions can catch a lot for trading back just 1 pick. The Bucs are desperate for DT help. So are the Lions, tbh, but apparently, they're not that bothered.

This is all worth monitoring, imo.

The reason I find it somewhat fascinating is that I strongly suspect that Mayhew  and Schwartz are really quite competent, even though it hasn't really translated into wins--yet.



Mayhew might be doing "too good" in the draft pick department-It is possible I reckon,what with all the low picks they have received, and not just through incompetence on the field, either.



Schwartz scares me as an opposing coach, btw- I think he knows what the hell he is doing. All this wise FO shit in Detroit is starting to make me a little nervous. :thumbleft:

Apparently the Lions are not alone...

PFT- Top 4 teams have discussed trading down 

I'm getting my vote in for Okung!
