Well, it would be if he weren't really interested, he wanted Stafford and thought he could get Detroit to bite.....

It's been one of the most interesting offseasons in my memory, and it's just going to get better and better until draft weekend.

I understand. I was laying it out just for the Lions, but it might do something else for the Chiefs which I was going to put in as an alternative before I clicked "submit" by mistake. I was going to say that it might also put the Chiefs in a position where they might be able to trade down if Sanchez is the team's preferred quarterback, because a team that wanted Stafford but wasn't willing to pay for the #1 slot might be more willing to pay for the #3 slot. After all, if either QB gets past the Chiefs, the board is set up in such a way that the quarterback could conceivably fall all the way to the Jets if no trades got made.
