Draft thoughts

 

This is not intended to be a direct attack at anyone on this board or on the Lions current roster. I am not interested in looking at who will be available in the top 5 just yet but what I know some of you are. What I want to know is that even if the Lions draft #1 overall again is there anyone available that teams are willing to trade up for. There have been years when I have been content with a bad record equalling a higher draft pick but this year I am pulling for a pick at #5 or higher because I am sick of seeing our future mortgaged on top ten picks not panning out (that is a shot at Roy, Chuck and Joey, not guys presently on the roster). I am hopeful the NFL will one day have a rookie cap but it's not that that will happen before this year's draft. So, my question to those preparing mock drafts is where do the Lions need to be to realisticly have a chance to trade down and accumulate more picks?

Probably not

Too much money involved I suspect. Unless someone looks to good to pass, eg….Clausen or someone like him, then some team might take the jump….but I can’t see it.

2009 = The start of the Lions Golden Age (We hope).

If we are number 1

I am hoping there will be enough teams within 5 spots of us that the money difference won’t be a factor. As of right now I suspect the Browns, Bills and Rams will be looking for new QB’s with the Seahawks, Panthers and Raiders potentially looking for new QB’s as well and possibly having top ten picks. My greatest hope is that we win 2- 3 games and end up with a tradeable draft pick.

I can't believe I ate the whole thing!

And not a "Chuck Long"?

What? He can’t block a dead gopher? Humph, details.

It is interesting to think about [what else is there?] but depressing.

We will just have to see how the rest of the season plays out. Still eight games to go and lots of things can happen in the NFL and with the college prospects.

I think the Mocking the Draft site is more appropriate for those discussions right now.
