Sounds okay to me, especially in this years draft where it looks like there is darn near comparable value between the 5th pick and 20th pick. Maybe get the Lions true third round versus the Dallas pick, making it a very high pick in that round. But I can't imagine a team giving more than that.

The lions definitely got the better end of that deal, I was shocked. I do think Dorsey should be worth more, I hope his age counts for something. I guess I wasn't keeping in mind that Dorsey is a pick of the old regime. The FO would be a lot more likely to deal him for lesser value, as they didn't pick him. If we really are going true 3-4, maybe this is something you have to consider.
All I know is if I'm Detroit, I think I just got a steal. I'd bet a better deal could be had. You're sure a team like Tampa wouldn't give up their 1 and 2? That sounds reasonable to me. 19 and mid 2 to get the #5 player from a year ago(allegedly #1 on a lot of boards) sounds like a good deal for them
