    Lions to trade down?

    Tom Kowalksi, of MLive.com, reports the Detroit Lions are hoping to trade down in the first round of the 2007 NFL Draft. The Lions currently hold the No. 2 overall selection in the draft.

    Hmmm...this would assure us Adrian Peterson or Calvin Johnson...both would be gamechangers. Anybody like this idea and what would it take?

    not gonna happen

    according to the draft trade value chart, we would have to give up every single one of our picks this year, and next years #1 and maybe #2 or #3 in order to move up to the #2

    #2= 2,600 points

    our entire draft= 1,743.2

          I did hear this as well though...they like Brady Quinn, but think they can trade down to like 5-7 and still get him, and add some more picks to their day.

            I think ND has it right. The Lions may be looking to trade down, but not all the way to 16. Plus, trades like this seldom happen between division rivals. The most likely scenario would be for the Lions and Cardinals to work out a trade so that the Cardinals can take Joe Thomas.
            I can't run no more
            With that lawless crowd
            While the killers in high places
            Say their prayers out loud
            But they've summoned, they've summoned up
            A thundercloud
            They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

              Especially since the Cardinals have told Leonard Davis that they will not tag him, and he will hit the free agent market

                And they've said for most of last season they'd LOVE to get Thomas.

                  Brady Quinn seems now likely to slip.
                  The Lions are prob. figuring they can land him several picks later & pockets a extra pick or so.

                    Yeh, but the Lions will still stink.

                            What's really funny is this is the year they should take a WR but that will never happen, C. Johnson appers to be the real deal.

                              No question.
