Rumor Mill: Lions Want to Trade No. 2 Pick in NFL Draft

Suh is not worth trading Nnamdi for. I’d rather wait util the second round, where there will be some very good DT left over. Guys like Dan Williams, Brian Price, Jared Odrick, Terrence Cody, Lammar Houston, and other guys could be around. Some solid one’s like Linval Joseph might even be around on day 2. It is very very hard to find a shutdown cornerback of Nnamdi’s caliber, or even a number one cornerback in general, but with a deep DT draft like this, there is no need to trade for SUh.

we would end up trading away our shutdown corner and draft someone way out of place that we could have had even with the number 8 pick.
I would only want to trade our number 8 pick to get more picks. although we had alot of picks last year and i think only Mitchell, Murphy and Shaus are left right?

we loose a leader and veteran who has been great for this team, and replacing him for a rookie, presumably suh, and expect him to lead the DL, and expect someone else to lead the overall defense.

We loose too much in terms of morality.

We should trade down and get more picks and /or established players. Fuck #2. We dont need to sign another bloated rookie contract.

wouldn’t it depend on who was drafted with those 2 picks? I mean it is fun to consider, but I wouldn’t test the waters and hope two rookies pan out immediately. Who knows though, sometimes this is what you have to do to build a team.

I know others will say the run defense is priority, but I disagree with letting go one of the best players to ever play a position, especially since all you really have to do as far as D backs are concerned is get a corner to complement him.

Trading down is the right thing to do, not up out of 8 to 2 for someone as valuable as the awesome one. Stockpile 2nds and 3rds with our number 8 or get a 1st rounder for next year. The number 2 spot will just guarantee one thing: an astronomical price tag for an unproven player.

And that is if we don’t swap picks with the Lions, but end up with the #2 and #8 overalls.

Something like this:

Nnamdi and a 7th rounder

for

The #2 overall and a 6th rounder

Would be something you’d at least have to consider. Don’t know if I’d do it, but it’d be worth a discussion. Anything less than that would be laughable.

If one of those guys falls, then ya you draft them, but you don;t give your best player to the Lions to move up six spots and give them more picks on top of that. Silliness

He sets a high standard for the entire team. I’m as impressed with his tackling as with his coverage – he’s a sure thing and as much as I like Suh, there are several DTs that can help us a lot without having to pay with our very best. No deal.
However, I would offer Detroit our 2nd and 3rd round picks for Suh.

Forgt even thinking about it, even woodson had a ton of injuries before he gave him up.

It’s not like we’ve been successful with the way things are run now. Also you never hear about Nmamdi trying to restructure his contract to help sign more valuable free agents to the team either or alow us to resign Seymour to a long-term contract instead of some ridiculous franchise tag $$. Although the only reason I say no to the trade would be because good ol’ Al is crazy enough to trade up to pick someone like Campbell or Tebow & we end up losing picks as well.

I have fallen in love with Kong Suh. Nnamdi is 31 years old( I think) and is going into the last year of his contract. He’s been great, but the next great thing is in this draft. And if it means giving up Nnamdi, Im willing to.

But! If Detroit just wants extra picks. Lets just trade our 1st and 3rd and 6th.

this is no rumor , but fact. the lions do want out because they have already put out alot of money for there qb last year. i would love to see the raiders give them our 2nd pick, #39 and package a player and another draft pick. the players would be rhoutt,branch or someone in the db’s except asomaugh. i would also keep our 8th pick with that idea.

Please…I’m tired of speculating. We know who we want..we just need to HOPE AND PRAY that it is what AL WANTS.

is going to cost a freaking fortune! Ford is a cheap bastard, that’s why he wants to trade it. We need to sit still, and draft in our place, then actually keep the players.

Nice talk but that’s really all it is…Who would sacrifice their 2nd pick in this draft for our “CB” who is on the last yr of his contact and prolly slipping towards the end of his productive career…Not speaking bad about Nnamdi at all but they would want our pick plus a player and that’s not at all a worthwhile price to pay for any top speculated player….And if they need the “DB” so bad why wouldn’t they just go after the top “S” or “CB” in this draft…Both projected to be top players at their positions…

The 2nd pick would cost us the #8 + our 2nd rd or 3rd-n-4th rd selections…They would be moving down 6 positions in the 1st rd and that’s expensive…Teams pay high to move up only 3-4 steps…6 steps would be very costly indeed…

you have nothing better to do but conjecture? take up a fantasy league or post to a forum with the retards. Your drivel has no value at all.

We are 1 quartberback away from being a .700 team. Dont change anything but the man under center. We dont need some rookie either (Clausen) I say pick up campbell from washington and draft the best Offensive Lineman!!!

I mean look at it this way we won 5 games and with some help at QB we could have won another 4. Your talking about One of the worst offenses in NFL history.

Our second rounder and Kirk Morrison for Detroit’s 1st? Too bad Millen ain’t there anymore. We could take Suh and the best OT left on the board. Then cut Russell the celebrate. WOOO! Who am I kidding? Bring in the next bust and let’s have a look at him.

Also I will do the moon walk the day I hear Russell has been cut.

if they need a DB
