Mock Draft w/ Trade v.2(Post Combine)

[Munch4455]

At #9 Jonathan Martin or Riley Reiff could be available causing the Detroit Lions to move up as LT is their biggest need.

Carolina Panthers Receive:

2012 Detroit Round 1 Pick 23

2012 Detroit Round 2 Pick 22(54 Overall)

2013 Detroit Round 1 Pick

Detroit Lions Receive:

2012 Carolina Round 1 Pick 9

2012 Carolina Round 4 Pick 8

Draft

Round 1 Pick 23: DT Mempis Dontari Poe

Round 2 Pick 8: CB South Carolina Stephon Gilmore

Round 2 Pick 22: DE Syracuse Chandler Jones

Round 5 Pick 9: OLB Florida State Nigel Bradham

Round 6 Pick 8: FS Mcneese St. Janzen Jackson

Round 7 Pick 9: WR Fresno St. Devon Wylie

Round 7 Pick ?(Comp Pick):BPA, best punter available.

By trading down in the first round we can fill a lot of holes on the team. Get guys who can come in and start day 1 most likely in Gilmore and Poe. Plus you get guys who might take a little bit to develop, but have definite potential to be very important to this team down the road in Chandler Jones, Nigel Bradham and Janzen Jackson. Plus we get a guy who, if he can stay healthy, has the potential to be at the very least a good ST'er, and if we get lucky a good slot receiver. All the while managing to pick up and extra first round pick next year.

Lemme know what u guys think.

I would absolutely love Draft weekend if it went down like this. Doubt the Panthers take Janzen Jackson because of his character concerns, but if they did this would be an A draft for sure....

I would do that trade and I like those picks. I doubt Poe, Jones, or Wylie would be available where you have us selecting them.

Is that trade fair? Looks like we are getting the better end by a good bit.

I thought about that too, but people might be hesitant on taking poe much earlier bc his tape doesn't really mirror what he did at the combine. Jones was somewhat unimpressive at the combine, however I like that he has huge long arms(not to mention his pedigree), very similar to JPP in that sense. And I dunno about wylie, know he performed well at the combine but it all depends on how teams feel about how injury prone he has been. Could always swap out Poe for Still and Jones for Curry if need be.

Pretty close, about 70 points off, maybe less. Lions will likely be good next year, probably better than this year if they can get a good LT and shore up their secondary. I remember reading somewhere that future first rounds were counted as half of the value of their current year pick. And seeing as the Lions desperately need a franchise LT, I could see them overpaying a bit.

According to the value chart, we win but only by about 300 points or so, as Detroit's first next year would likely be VERY late in the first round....

Could live with that

[Actionman0z]

Neither of those guys is worth moving up that much for, especially Martin. Rieff looked like a slob at the combine too.. very stocky and stiff.

[DaCityKats]

we would leave smelling like a rose with this draft.

if Claiborne falls to us then no I wouldn't do that, but looks good other than that. can't say I know much about the kid from cuse

Claiborne isn't falling to #9....it's just not happening....

horrible trade. But I mean, makes sense. That is the kind of stupid trade Hurney would make. Also, those players wouldn't be available in those positions.

Love when people criticize without giving any sort of reasoning behind it. And make vague statments like "those players wont be there." Maybe you should share your crystal ball with the rest of us.
