they must see something in him.

Forget about them giving up two first rounders, and it also lowers the value of the second rounder that they have to offer [#60 now]. The Seahawks have no third round pick this year so that is out too.

Would you want to trade the # 2 pick for their # 6 and the # 60 picks? With the fourth round [#101] a possibility? That trade is not that attractive to me. The # 40 pick made that trade fair value in my mind. Now………I don’t think so. They might offer something from 2011 [a second round too?] but I think that knocks them out. And with Seattle out, Washington would be more likely to stand pat as they may not believe anyone else will move up or the Lions may not take anything that will be offered. Who knows? We are all just speculating anyway.

Question is, who would we take there? Maybe Berry, doubtful Okung, Spiller? hmmmm

Those GMs are in the same predicament as before. Who wants to pay a guy who is coming off shoulder surgery and barely played last year, # 2 QB money? Hardly anyone wanted to give Brees anywhere near that when he was an FA and he was a proven Pro Bowl QB.

Same deal. We are most likely “stuck” with the # 2 pick [remember how we were rejoicing about that a few months ago?] and need to make a decision between Suh and Okung IMO.

I think that if they wanted to move up, we would consider both of their first round picks and a trade at 2nd round.

Trading down to # 7 is a risk. At the absolute best we could have either McCoy or Berry to choose from. More likely, we will have one of them available. The worst case is that both are gone and we have a choice between Haden, D. Morgan, and Bulaga. Haden is the best option IMO among them and I am not crazy about him. What else do we get? Cleveland has extra third [two] and fifth [three] round picks which I am sure they will want to give us. I am not crazy about moving down from a pick that can get us a player who could be a foundation for our D Line or O LIne for the next decade to a solid starter [might be a shutdown corner] and a couple of starters or depth players.

My problem with Haden is that I think that a couple of other corners are not that far behind him. Namely Kyle Wilson or Devin McCourty. One of them may be available with our # 34 pick [I said maybe].

Forget the Bills. They will not trade up. While Ralph Wilson has been the owner they have only chosen two QBs in the first round [Losman and Kelly]. And they were chosen with a second first round pick after the first had been used on a WR and TE respectively. All their other QB drafts have been in the second or later round. They/he like veteran FAs like Flutie, Bledsoe, Holcomb, etc. not draft picks.

The Redskins will have no reason to move up if no one else is a viable candidate to move up. Even then the Redskins have the best QB of those teams and have a gaping hole at LT. They may likely choose to sit and wait, take an LT and grab a QB in the second round.

Look at any of the Mock Drafts [reputable ones] or rating sites and you will see what I mean. The players at # 60 have a lot more question marks and are bigger risks than the ones at the front of the second round. There will be good players, just less that will fit what the Lions want.

I understand the interest in trading down, I just tend to agree with those that are saying that this is just another step on the road to building a great team and that more can be accomplished in the long run by getting foundation type players when you have the chance. Hopefully, as our win total increases, we will not be picking this low next year or the year after.

Of course you are pretty single minded about who that refers to, while I see it referring to Suh, McCoy, and Okung more than Berry. But I have never denied that Berry is a great talent and would significantly upgrade our secondary.
