method man Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Considering how they are in need of impact players, maybe they are willing to trade their 2nd and both of their 3rds for #13. That way, we can rack up 4 day 1 picks. This might be the most prudent course of action considering the number of holes we have. There is a lot of decent 2nd/3rd round talent in this draft with guys like Jarron Gilbert, Connor Barwin, Marcus Freeman, and Jamon Meredith, guys we can really use.

djbubba4life Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 ehh, doubt it. i think theyve finally had their rounds with 'impact players' (mike williams, charles johnson) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsTillIDie Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Picking at 13, it's very possible that Mark Sanchez will be available. With the Jets (17), Bears (18), and Bucs (19) all in desperate need of a QB and picking soon after us, we might be able to finagle a trade with the Lions (20) or possibly, the Vikings (22). This would allow the Lions to draft their starting tackle/linebacker at 1 and still get their franchise quarterback, who surely wouldn't be there at 20. We would be able to trade down just 7 spots, pick up a 3rd rounder in the process, and be able to pick up a Michael Oher, Eben Britton, Tyson Jackson, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky52Mc Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I see the Lions keeping ALL of their picks if not trading for MORE. They have far more holes then we do and I doubt they're looking for that "special pick" at #13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsMaster88 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I want to trade down, but that seems like a steep drop. Got the draft pick value chart numbers for comparison? BTW, technically only 1st and 2nd rounds are Day 1 picks now, but I get your point. Also, even with the good talent that should be there in the 2nd round, I don't know if I trust our front office to hit on those later picks. I think it's more likely we trade down about 10 spots to around 20-25 range. Then, we'll still have a good shot at getting one of the 2nd-tier tackle prospects like Britton.

Skins #13 = 1150 Detroits #33 = 580 / #65 = 265 / #82 = 180 -- Total 1025 Therefore not exactly a "deal" for the skins. Also your fear about Vinny missing on the 3rd rounders is very valid. I would also prefer a later #1 and a 2nd as a trade. :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay can someone correct this for me? I thought the first round of the draft was only going to be round 1 and 2 this year? Or have they changed when they do these again?

Veretax Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Seems to me they were talking about having the first round in prime time on Friday or something? I dunno I can't remember, maybe one of the mods/staff well know the answer. When is the draft? Hrms, maybe its on the nfl site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows that Tackle from Alabama could be sitting there at 13 and we take him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or have they changed when they do these again? Yes you are correct. The first day of the draft used to be rounds 1-3. As we all know. Last year they switched it so the first day was just rounds 1 and 2. It will be the same this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have far more holes then we do and I doubt they're looking for that "special pick" at #13. 0-16 doesnt just mean holes. COACHING has alot to do w/ that and Marinelli just SUCKED. 1 years draft aint gonna turn it around. They may like that senario excluding #20 in a trade. Whats wrong with #1, #13, #20 then getting some projests in day 2. INTERESTING. Im cool with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flock53 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Vikings not interested in QB, Homer Simpson loves Jackson and just gave up a 4th for our reject, that they tried to land LAST year also. That trade back is nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadium-Armory Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 If the Lions do anything, it'll be to trade for Derrick Anderson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally feel that this is one of the deepest classes we have ever seen and there are first round quality players who will be found later in the draft. If anything, I guess we could ask Detroit for a 3rd next year too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
method man Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 I mean would you guys rather have Michael Oher or Jarron Gilbert (who would be our LDE of the future), Marcus Freeman (who would be our SLB of the future), and Jonathan Luigs (who would be our center of the future)? Furthermore, I think all three of these guys combined would be cheaper than a first round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justsomeguy Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 All these scenarios come down to who is there when we pick and I think most mocks I've seen are definitel about 60% wrong or higher (just my opinion), so these scenarios are fun but not very meaningful. I personally wouldn't mind trading some of this years picks for picks in 2010 to help prepare in case we have an uncapped year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsAllDay34 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 It all depends who is there for US to take. If Orakpo falls or A. Smith, it will be tough. Along with a linebacker like Maualuga, tough to pass up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Millen gone and Orlovsky resigned (is culpepper still on the roster too?), I don't see them selling out for a qb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elkabong82 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I think it'd be easier to swap 13 and 20, and pick up their 1st pick in the 3rd and 6th rounds. The points match up better that way. Even if the Lions draft QB #1 overall, whose to say they don't trade w/ us to get 1 of the big 4 OTs? Atlanta did a similar move last year when they traded with us.
