My offseason Lions wishlist


I was sitting here thinking Schwartz old longtime boss Fisher has two picks this year (16, 22) and I have a funny feeling The Lions will work out a trade with the rams if either top OT (fisher or joekel is on board at #5) . In the scenario I have thought up would benefit the lions and rams both, the lions would move down to pick 16 and receive 48th(rd2), 112th(rd4), and 176th (rd6) total trade value 1,511 (according to http://walterfootball.com/draftchart.php) the rams would also recieve our 7th round pick along with the fifth overall for a trade value total of 1,712.6 so per the charter this would work for both teams. This would then give the lions 8 picks and still a possibility of obtaining compensatory picks moving forward. Granted this is hopes, but i think it would benefit the entire team and this is how i would use the picks we now have......(FYI BOLD=EQUALS TRADED PICKS)

I would focus on three free agents that are not currently on the team and they would be.....

my opening day roster would look like this after all said and done

OFFENSE 25 PLAYERS

QB = STAFFORD, HILL, MOORE

RB = BUSH, LESHOURE, BELL, BEST

WR1=JOHNSON, BURLESON,D. THOMAS

WR2=AUSTIN, BROYLES, M. THOMAS

0T1=BACKUS, HAREWOOD

OG1=SIMS,AUSTIN

C =RAOILA, NAGY

OG2=JONES, THORNTON

OT2=REIFF, HILLIARD

7 NEW FACES ON OFFENSE

DEFENSE 25 PLAYERS

LE=JACKSON/HUNT

DT1=SUH/WILLIAMS

DT2=FAIRLEY/HILL

RE=YOUNG/TAYLOR

OLB=LEVY/PALMER

MLB=TULLOCH/LEWIS/MESSINA

OLB=WHITEHEAD/ROACH

CB1=HOUSTON/BENTLEY/GREENWOOD

CB2=AMERSON/GREEN

FS=DELMAS/SILVA

SS=LESTER/JOHNSON/CAREY

5 NEW FACES ON DEFENSE

SPECIAL TEAMS 3 PLAYERS

MUHLBACH LS

SIGN A KICKER IF HANSON RETIRE

AND SIGN A PUNTER UNDRATFED OR FREE AGENT

In conclusion the offense is even more explosive now with stafford having new weapons and protection and a slightly revamped defense.

TELL ME WHAT YOU GUYS THINK??? ALL DRAFT PICKS WERE BASED OFF PROSPECT RANKINGS POST COMBINE UPDATE http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/prospectrankings USING KIND OF THE SAME FORMAT IN SELECTING AS I USED IN ONE OF MY PREVIOUS POSTS http://www.prideofdetroit.com/2013/2/2/3943424/my-personal-mock-draft-game-4-above-5-below
