**looks for quotes from Lion's FO**

**looks for them to name a reputable source**

**looks for them to name a source of any kind**

**gets bored and forgets about this story**

Here's how it went for me:

**Sees Mike Florio's name.**

**Doesn't open link and dismisses the information as speculation.**

***wonders about the Panthers connection***

Negotiations between the Detroit Lions and Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford have intensified but as of Wednesday night there was no deal, multiple sources said.

The Lions want to have a deal in place for the draft's first selection before Saturday, and they have narrowed their focus on Stafford, Baylor tackle Jason Smith and Wake Forest linebacker Aaron Curry. Curry's agents met with the Lions in Detroit over the weekend and left with confidence they would be able to work out a deal with the Lions.

NFLTA is reporting that they plan to have a deal in place by the draft

This will help Wake, and makes tons of sense in many ways for the lions

LB would be the cheapest option, it addresses an area of need.

Man just think if we could trade Pep for that pick and get Curry. Not a serious need but damn how do you pass on a guy like this!?

Personally I like the fact that Curry has stated publicaly he wants to be a Lion, at a discounted rate form last years number one. Wants to get to Detroit and make it work. That's the kind of kid I'd want to draft.

Eh if I was gonna be one of the top 5 picks I would want as much money as possible. Especially if I was a LB, most dont last but 5 years in the NFL.

I think they should take Curry with the first pick and then an OT with their second first rounder. Get the QB next season and build up the lines on both sides of the ball. Making it easier for the QB to come in next season and be successful.

i agree...i just dont know if they would actually wanna go another year without a qb...the fans could get a bit ancy....but yea the qb class next year is far better

Ernie Simms was over-rated coming out of college and isn't that great in the pro's.

You are an ass clown for that statement and definitely do not know what great or overrated means.

linebackers dont win football games...... just sayin.....

wr's- qb's- linemen and rb's do.

but defenses DO win championships

It's called an opinion, c*ckgobbler. I know the meaning of both words, and he is overrated IMO.

I think they should take Curry and an OT later in the 1st. Dante Culpepper can win some games this year with protection and an improved defense(however slightly it is). And then next year draft one of the big 3 likely to come out at QB. This is my opinion simply because I think Stafford has been overrated from the beginning.
