A Trade on Draft Day (just for fun...)

[The_Chuck_Rule]

Was pondering an idea this A.M. when I was thinking about possibilities for next year.
We're all pretty familar with the 2 worst teams in football this year being Oakland and Detroit.
We also have a perception that it would at least Help to have a #1 WR going into next year.

So....with that in mind...

What do you think about the idea of cutting a deal with Detroit, to acquire Roy Williams.
(posibilities of Seattle's 1st round pick and a 4th or 5th round of ours....remember also that Detroit needs 2 things....Picks and Salary Cap space in order to sign them)

Roy Williams is not going to solve all of Detroit's problems by himself, just like Cory Dillion was not going to take the Bengals to the playoffs by himself.

Roy Williams is also coming off his best year as a Pro, also:

Like I stated in the thread title, this is just for fun, so let's hear your thoughts.

Yes I'd give a 1st round pick for Roy Williams. No the Lions wouldn't do it. They have him under contract until at least 2009. Why would they give up a 25 year old stud receiver that is still on his rookie contract? You've seen what Deion Branch got and he wasn't even a free agent. What do you think a Roy Williams would make on the open market? Cost of replacement has to be in the Lions calculations too.

That's cool.
I agree on some of these principals, but I also believe at some point when his Cap Number increases as he moves foward, at some point they will ask him to re-structure it and/or also place the Franchise Tag upon him.
I'm not sure if he's going to be patient enough to make those sacrifices for a team that just can not get their collective Heads out of their Butts, when it comes to talent evaluation.

Another reason that i've brought this idea up, is I'm just not sure how much longer Tom Brady is going to playing in this League, before he either retires or (God Forbid) desides to play for SF before he leaves the game for good.
Take advantage of what you got here, while you still have it, cause when it's gone....it's Gone.

P.S. I wonder if Roy Williams is willing to be the next Paul Pierce...if ya' know what I mean...
