Tuesday Notes: What Does Sam Bradford's Workout Mean for the Lions?

Print- Sam Bradford held his own pro day on Monday, and by all accounts he proved that he is deserving of the No. 1 overall pick. Gil Brandt called it "the best quarterback workout by a draft prospect that I’ve seen since I watched a private workout Troy Aikman put on for us with the Cowboys in California." As you can probably tell, it went quite well.
Based on the glowing reviews, you would think St. Louis would just start drawing up the contract papers now to finalize the selection, right? Well, although Bradford to the Rams does seem like a lock at this point, St. Louis is reportedly going to wait to make a final decision until after they hold a private workout with Bradford three days before the first round of the draft.
What this all means for the Lions is the following: If Sam Bradford is selected by the Rams, the Lions will be able to pick the top player on their draft board. If for some reason Bradford isn't selected by the Rams, trading down could be a very realistic scenario. After all, Bradford's stock just shot through the roof after yesterday's performance, meaning teams needing a quarterback could very well decide that trading up is worth it. Considering there are multiple teams in the top ten that have a need for a QB, it's even possible that the Lions could leverage teams into giving up quite a bit for the chance to draft Bradford. Whatever happens, the Lions are really sitting pretty at No. 2 right now. - Martin Mayhew and company will start getting the Lions' draft board ready this week and then make sure everybody is on the same page. Back in the Matt Millen era one of the biggest problems was the lack of solidarity, especially when it came to the draft. Mayhew is working to make sure that doesn't happen, and if last year is any indication, I'd say he's doing a good job.
- Pacman Jones is not currently suspended, in case anybody was wondering about his playing status should he sign with the Lions.
- Kentucky fullback John Connor reportedly visited the Lions yesterday.
- The Arena Football League is back this week.
- Phillip Buchanon signed a one-year deal with the Redskins.

I don't Like
The fact that John Connor is visiting the lions. The only thing that would would result in drafting him would be an increase in the visit of time-traveling-cyborgs. Plus, look at his build, he looks like a child. 
Thanks jerk...
I just laughed so hard I woke up the baby…

No, child support payments are.
No worry mates...
… we have MEGATRON patrolling Allen Park. Cyborg’s and defensive backs are toast. Gotta admit, I don’t think we can screw up that number two pick. " One way or another I’m gonna find " a great draft prospect. Looking good Lions ! Front office, please, think like this: " Listen. And understand. That terminator is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead. "
I still like Toby Gerhart as our running back.
Nice...

Hhhhmmmm...
John Connor kills Terminators…
Eric Berry wasn’t casted in Terminator4 because it would’ve been a biography which means he’s a Terminator…
I guess the Lions won’t be drafting Eric Berry because John Connor would kill him at practice…
poor GRLion, his dream is crushed
Life is a waste of time and time is a waste of life... so lets get wasted all the time and have the time of our lives!
This is great news
A win win situation for is. If Bradford goes number 1 then we get whoever is at the top of our board and if he doesn’t then we trade down and get something huge in return. I love it.
Lets hope Buchanon gets a lot of playing time we need the suplemental draft choice
I will be happy with an additional 5th rounder next year .
I don't know if that counts since we released him

Phillip Buchanon ...
Will get burned more then a group of teeny-boopers at the beach.
A lot of RFA will be signing their tenders since their hands are tied.
Once they are signed I see a lot of them being traded on draft day (days) after the first to rounds many of those players will be expendable to the teams that hold their rights. The Lions could signifcantly improve their roster trading later round picks for some of those players this is a unique year. The Draft will truly be prime time material.
Can someone tell Gil Brandt that hyperbole is the best thing ever!
I root for the Tigers, Pistons, Red Wings and yes, the Lions.

Dun dun DUUUUUUUN!!!
What if the Rams pull a Houston/Reggie Bush deal to avoid a hold out? Sure we lose out on Suh, but we then have the first dibs on anyone willing to trade up for the best QB in the draft that just wowed everyone in a workout.
I really want Suh, but Ka-Ching!
This is pretty much a win-win situation.
Detroit is in the Cat-bird seat. Wow, what a position to be in. We have to take full advantage of this position. If St. Louis passes on Bradford, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Washington, along with others, was calling non-stop to slide into number two to get him, and we may still be able to get a DT at 4. I could totally see Tampa passing on McCoy and taking Berry. That would be amazing!
sounds like posturing to me
if they give him stafford money with a little raise I don’t think he’s gonna hesitate to sign
+1 Wayne Fontes
I think this year is going to be unprecedented as far trades go. Especially among guys who would not have normally been considered RFA’s.
I can tell you this much....
mayhew will never be invited to poker night at my house…….i do not like to lose…lol
West michigan fans
Should check out the west michigan thunder at the delta plex great games with the new IFL. Anyway with the draft nothing is ever a lock anymore. Mayhew had a great teacher in what NOT to do as GM glad he paid attention lol.
Louis Delmas is gonna lay the MAC down on your candyass.
Trading down
If Bradford is still on the board after St Louis, why would any team want to trade up to get Bradford with Detroit’s pick?. Detroit’s not going to draft him, so teams can trade up to the third spot instead and Detroit can go about their business.
The thinking is...
Multiple teams would want him, so if they waited around for Tampa’s pick it could be too late should another team go up to No. 2.

This is true...
…yeah but I don’t know that Washington would risk waiting for until 4 because Tampa won’t draft him either. Say Washington stands pat, and watches Buffalo or Jacksonville trade to number 2 or even 3. Washington at least has the closest pick to offer and has less to make up in their trade package.
My bet is that Bradford goes #1
On a side note…does everyone remember a guy here who had Grube in his name? Well it turns out that his name is Derek Grube…AKA internet tough guy. Internet tough guy was so upset with me and ATL Lion that he took it upon himself to search for me on Facebook. He found me and left quite the “nice” message insulting all of you here who call me “friend”, all of my real life friends, and my family. This guy is a real class act…lol. It sure is easy to talk mad shit when you can hide behind a computer screen.
Here’s to you internet tough guy….you’re a “Real American Hero”.

I would have his ass prosecuted.
Oh you didn't know?? You're ass better CALLLLLLLL SOMEBODY!!!!!
I can blow off the name calling...
but any threat to me or my family will not be tolerated.
Oh you didn't know?? You're ass better CALLLLLLLL SOMEBODY!!!!!

Not at first
Suddenly he just started being a douche to everybody (most of those comments have since been deleted), leading to his ban.
