Broncos to workout Raji and Lions to workout Curry

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Per KFFL.

Interesting.

[doomy3]

It's not that interesting. Curry is widely considered to be the best player in the draft (except by the experts here), and the Broncos need a DT. Makes sense to me. I still think the Lions will go with a QB though, but who knows?

I'm guessing he's not going to want to draft Curry.

Wrong, DoMe.

The Talking Heads (Don Banks, Mel Kiper, Mike Mayock) continue to state that he's the "cleanest" and "safest" pick in the draft.

Which is fine and dandy if you want a clean, safe player.

That doesn't make him the "best" player in the draft.

[DeezNutz]

If Gun wants him, he drinks from the dick sock.

[talastan]

Yeah because Gun would never want a player that might actually be talented?! :spock:

[htismaqe]

It's interesting only because the Lions pick before us and whoever they pick has a direct affect on who will be there for us.

Correct.

He sucks the penis. NTTAWWT.

His only notable achievement was playing a solid Eddie Mush in "A Bronx Tale."

This.

And also a good thing is that usually the #1 pick already has a contract negotiated and announced well before the draft. Thus leaving us with less suspense.

[orange]

I'd be very pleasantly surprised if Raji's there at 12. I'm sure the Broncos would be all over that unless he really screws up his workout/interview.

[Chief Roundup]

Well who are we bringing in for workouts and such?

[keg in kc]

It's interesting only because the Lions pick before us and whoever they pick has a direct affect on who will be there for us.Hope to god they fall in love with Curry, because Stafford being available at 3 could really turn this draft into something special. There's no clear-cut top talent, but there's plenty of guys in the mid- to late-first to third round level - this is a year for quantity.

Remember Pioli is in charge, like the question, "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop", The world may never know who the Chiefs are working out.

Yep.

[sedated]

smoke screen, all of it.

So, you're saying if Curry's gone and Stafford is there we will have teams wanting to trade ???

[Denver Dave]

smoke screen, all of it.

Why would Detroit run a smoke screen? They have the first overall pick. Does it matter if teams know who they covet? Maybe they're covering their ass in the event of a trade down?

[keg in kc]

So, you're saying if Curry's gone and Stafford is there we will have teams wanting to trade ???Yeah, I think that's more likely if Stafford is there than if Curry is there.

I also think it's kind of a moot statement on my part; I believe Stafford's going 1. But a guy can dream.

[dirk digler]

Yep. No reason for Detroit to have a smoke screen unless they want to trade down which would be highly unlikely.

If other teams really believe Detroit is serious about a certain guy they also like, they will be more likely to attempt a trade. If Detroit ignores Stafford for example, other teams might be less hesitant to try and trade thinking Stafford would fall...

Smokescreen or not, it's good practice... gives them more options...

[Kerberos]

Yep. No reason for Detroit to have a smoke screen unless they want to trade down which would be highly unlikely.


With what is available in top 5 talent it is even MORE unlikely that anyone would WANT to trade up into the LIONS position IMO.

[ChiefRon]

Raji will not be there at #12, but they can make us an offer.

We'll listen.

[talastan]

Anyone suspect Stafford could possibly have a long day in the Green room a la Brady Quinn? :hmmm:

[talastan]

We'll listen.

Cutler and swap first rounders! ;) Just kidding donkey fans..or am I?! :Pinky:

It's so witty when you come up with these brilliant nicknames.

And, you probably have much more insight on this subject. I am just going on the fact that Mayock, Scouts, Inc., and McShay all have him as the #1 player on their boards. I can't find Kiper's, but I think he had Stafford #1.

[Mile High Mania]

I think you're going to hear a lot of the top 15 or so teams working out a number of these highly ranked players... using it as smoke screens for what they want and to make other teams nervous, possibly driving up trade chatter.

[Mr. Krab]

The first team in the draft will workout multiple players just to help with contract negotiations. It doesn't mean much.

[Reerun_KC]

IF the Lions take Curry, the true fans will melt down...
