I could envision a scenario in which the Lions trade the lower of their first round picks for Cassell and then trade their first overall pick to the Chiefs for the our first 3 picks or our first 2 picks this year and our second rounder next year.

From there, the Lions could draft Curry number 3. If they really want a LT, they would have plenty of ammunition to move up into the late first round and grab Oher. There has been a glut of talent at LT the last 2 drafts (this year and last year), so at least one of the premier LTs will likely slide.

If the Lions do something like this, they could wind up with their franchise QB, the best defensive player in the draft, and a cornerstone LT. It won't happen, but it would be interesting to watch.
