Never thought I'd say this but me too. I'm tired of big name received. Give me the Welkers, Branches, Edelpersons of the world and TFB and I'm set.

Umm no. He's not worth two #1s. But I'd offer the Raiders 1st round pick for CJ straight up if the Lions feel they have no hope of resigning him. But that won't be till the offseason. This offense is scary enough even without a bona fide 'superstar' like CJ. The other guy I'd like here is Larry Fitzgerald. I think these are pipe dreams but in a year where the Pats have two 1sts, I would certainly consider giving up one of them to land one of those aforementioned guys.

He has the skills of Randy Moss and the attitude of Danny Woodhead. What the eff more could you want in a guy?

The Pats in a couple seasons:

Fitz
Welker
Branch
Tate
Gronk
Hernandez

Multiple 19-0 seasons.

Megatron is the best reviever in the game bar none, sorry Fitzy. Guy does it against double teams every week and cannot be stopped.

we have the top ranked offense in the league and the 32nd ranked defense

explain to me why we'd want to spunk multiple top end draft picks an any offensive player

resigning mankins and light and getting a top 34 DE/OLB in the draft is what we need

and you know 2 of those 4 picks are going into next year

I agree with this.

I'm sure Megatron can be great for our offense, but after seeing us tear through the better defenses (PIT/NY) the past couple of weeks, why would we want to commit a large percentage of our salary cap to a player that we really don't need? Our offense is humming right now, and while we could use a speedier guy on the outside, we really don't need to overspend and go get the top guy. Also, who knows, maybe Tate can continue to develop and be more involved.

I say we sign Mankins and Light, draft a LT with one of our higher picks and get a RB that can share the load with Benny (Ingram would be great). Then I would do whatever it takes (FA or draft) to get an edge rusher, which is what this team really needs.

I don't see the Lions ever trading or releasing Megatron. When his contract is up, he will most certainly be franchised. I don't see it realistic for the Pats to ever get him so I don't even want to discuss the possibility.

If the Pats have a shot at any stud WRs, it would be Fitzgerald. But I don't think Belichick is going to pay the price to get him after this season where Brady is probably playing the best football of his career without a stud WR.

BTW, I think the Lions are just a few pieces and a healthy Staffford (which is a question mark at this point if he can stay healthy) from being a legitimate playoff and possibly Super Bowl contender. They have been within a play or two of winning a bunch of games this year. With more experience and a few more players, they win those games. That could come as soon as next season.

The Washington Generals have a better shot at having a winning season than the Lions.
