Would you trade up to the 6 spot?
 

Give up 17 and 28 to a team and move to 6

Would you do it?....is it time this team makes a change and takes a top pass rusher or OL?

last time we picked up high at 10,it worked out well for us (mayo)

With Brady's career getting closer to ending year after year and playoff losses mounting,is it time to find the next Joe Thomas?

I am sick and tired of moving down and trading low although last years moves worked out well so far,it's not always the best way as we saw years ago.

I say give up a pick to move up instead of gaining a late pick to move down....before Brady gets too long in the tooth.

Re: Would you trade up to the 6 spot?
 

Curious who you would want to draft at 6?

Re: Would you trade up to the 6 spot?
 

Not unless Fairley or Bowers is around.

Re: Would you trade up to the 6 spot?
 

That was still a trade DOWN from their original slot, #7.

Plus, if there's no rookie scale this year, which is certainly a possibility, #6 costs more than what they're paying McCourty, GRONK, Cunningham, and Spikes combined.

Re: Would you trade up to the 6 spot?
 

Fairley,Jordan or Dareus would fit the 3-4 and might be a good fit

I really like Jordan of all 3 of those but he could be there at 17 anyway....Fairley is the obvious choice of the 3 at 6

I looked at OL and don't see a move like that possible until #33 at the earliest...none worth a 6

Re: Would you trade up to the 6 spot?
 

We need a playmaker on defense.....not saying that there won't be one at 17,28 or later but obviously the cream of the crop and more likely game changers are somewhere in the top 10......none are guarantees of course or the Lions would have won the SB 10 times already :cool:

Re: Would you trade up to the 6 spot?
 

Yes, I would move up into the top 10 for Bowers, Fairley, or Quinn. Maybe Dareus too.

Re: Would you trade up to the 6 spot?
 

No.

There is not a single player in this draft worth trading 2 first round picks for.

Especially those three guys.

Last year everyone clamored for Dunlap, people still talk about him. But Bill even said HE WASN"T EVEN UNDER CONSIDERATION. Because he projected as a 4-3 DE. Same story for Daquan Bowers. He is not going to be the next WMac in this defense, he is a 4-3 DE.

Fairley is going to get way overdrafted. He is a one-year wonder with work ethic issues. I seriously doubt Bill takes a Juco transfer with only one year of starting experience, in the top 10.

Quinn, in my opinion, is another 4-3 DE. He missed this past season because he was BANNED from participating in all NCAA activities. No thanks.

The question should not be whether they should waste two 1st rounders to trade up for one of these guys.

It should be whether any of them are even on their board come April.

Re: Would you trade up to the 6 spot?
 

Yeah, the draft pick cost is expensive but can't forget the contract too.

If the next Seymour is available, I'd be on board. But if the #6 pick isn't several levels above #17, I don't see the point at all. I know a portion of the fan base would be thrilled with any trade-up scenario in the 1st round, regardless of who was drafted.

Re: Would you trade up to the 6 spot?
 

I would be all for moving into the top 10 to draft Bowers or even Quinn, but Fairley is going #1 so he won't be an option. However, if I were to move up it wouldn't be a straight swap of picks to move up because of the compensation required as well as the contracts. If it were to happen I think we would need to be a bit more creative.

In my mock I had us trading Mankins and Meriweather to Dallas for the 9th pick and their 4th rounder. Then using a 2012 2nd and TBC to move up with Arizona to #5 to take Bowers. This is the option I prefer because we still keep our 2011 picks and I dont see a long term future with Mankins or Meriweather. I know a lot of people want to re-sign Mankins but I just dont think he's worth the money, and if we can get good value for him I'm all for it. This option also free's up a lot of cap space to re-sign our own guys over the coming seasons like Welker and Mayo.
