Hell, why not? Lions trying to trade down.

They're asking for multiple draft picks. But, they're a team in need a true leader at the QB position and they don't have any proven safties. Trent could start and one of our 4 safties (preferably Wesly or Knight) could fit right in.
Package Trent with our 23rd overall and one of our safties for that #2 overall - Calvin Johnson!

Could you guys imagine a recieving core of Calvin, Eddie, Tony and Sammie in the slot. Defences wouldn't know what to do. Stack the box for LJ or try to double the recievers.

Just a thought that I'm sure won't even get considered from Carl, but damn. I'd be up for it.

i would think it would cost a lot more than that to move up that high...

Yeah, I suppose another draft pick (late rounder along with what I mentioned) will be needed, but it is Millen we're talking about.

Ebolapox · 03-17-2007, 09:39 AM

that would be sweet, but unrealistic (millen or otherwise)

It's tempting. But Herm won't make any trade that involves us having fewer draft picks than before. At the absolute most, he'd trade first round picks with the Lions and offer a few more players as compensation.

Where are the Lions hurting right now (ignoring the fact that they suck just about everywhere)?

DE: They signed Dewayne White, but they need another big sacker.

Depth at DT.

They're dying at OT. They signed George Foster, but they're going to need at least two more, including one more solid starter.

FS: They're dying here.

MLB: They got nothing here.

TE: Nothin'. God this team sucks.

QB: This team has absolutely nothing for QB.

The good news is, we have a ton of expendable players at these positions that the Lions might consider valuable.

We've been thinking about trading Jared Allen. At OT, Sampson, Turley, or Svitek would give them depth, if not a starter. Greg Wesley at FS. Kawika Mitchell at MLB (if we resign the guy), not to mention Fox or Bell if we go as far to put them on the trading block. It'd be unpopular with ChiefsPlanet, but we could trade Kris Wilson at TE since we already have an All Pro there and FB prospects. And Trent Green would add leadership and a solid QB to either back-up or start.

We could trade a number of these players and replace them without much difficulty (save Allen). And include the prospect of switching first round picks, and it gets a lot more interesting.

The bad news is, the Lions want picks, not players, so I seriously doubt they'd go for it.

You know the Broncos are in the market for this deal, though. They were already trying to get the Redskins' 6th. I bet they make a run for this 2nd.

It would take a lot more than the crap you guys are suggesting to move up into the #2 spot.

And why the hell would the Lions wait until the Chiefs signed Mitchell to trade for him?

If they wanted to pick him up, they could sign him for free.

**noa** · 03-17-2007, 10:37 AM

They would have no reason to want Trent Green. They already have one old QB to start (Kitna will be 35 this year). They are probably looking for a young replacement to step in a year or two down the line.

Direckshun · 03-17-2007, 11:01 AM

Kitna sucks. Trent doesn't.

I don't think they'll do it either but c'mon.

C'mon?

That trade scenario in no way, shape, or form doesn't approach reasonable or realistic.

This isn't Madden for Xbox360.

So we get the #2 overall pick in this season's draft for a 37 yr old QB whos playing days are numbered, a low valued 1st round pick, and a shitty or at best mediocre safety? I dont even think Matt Millen is that reeruned.

Mecca · 03-17-2007, 12:52 PM

We'd have to trade a ton of shit.....but hey how much do you value Calvin Johnson?

I'd love to have Calvin Johnson, but not at the cost of moving up 15+ spots.

Mecca · 03-17-2007, 01:43 PM

Well I think he's going to be HOF good but even then....

unothadeal · 03-17-2007, 01:56 PM

Personally, if we get the #2 pick, I wouldn't use it on Calvin Johnson
