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.

Mayhew's first move as acting General Manager was the trade of wide receiver Roy Williams and a 7th round draft choice to the Dallas Cowboys for Dallas' 1st, 3rd and 6th round draft choices in the 2009 NFL draft.

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!

Zero2Cool (11h) : if you're on mobile, open the menu and its the "sun" icon

dfosterf (11h) : Can't find the toggle, lol

dfosterf (11h) : I can find that the Microsoft lady rep for Titletown Tech is the philanthropy boss for the entire Microsoft corporation, but. .

Zero2Cool (11h) : There's a toggle for light/dark theme. Super easy.

dfosterf (12h) : The white background beta was hard to read, especially the quotes

dfosterf (12h) : Hopefully the color scheme remains the same

dfosterf (12h) : *Friday*

dfosterf (12h) : 100 million would be 539 million as of Fridsy

dfosterf (12h) : Heck, they could have taken a hundred milliion and invested in DAVE inc. last year (semi random, humor, but real)

dfosterf (12h) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from

dfosterf (13h) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy

Zero2Cool (13h) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!

dfosterf (13h) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40

dfosterf (13h) : The woke reference has to do with the makeup and oftentimes objectives of the companies they invested in

packerfanoutwest (13h) : beer and brats woke? say whom?

beast (13h) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...

beast (13h) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based

beast (13h) : And if everyone has heard of them, then it it probably has less growth potential and less community based

dfosterf (13h) : -Not saying woke, but should- borderline philanthopist venture capital excercise

dfosterf (13h) : Well for one, they are pouring resources into Title Town Tech. Investing beer, brat, hot dog, ticket money into what is pretty much...

beast (20h) : Wow, 95% drop in investment revenue? Would be interesting to hear the details of why...

dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : In your face, HBO!

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.
