Lions #3 pick up for grabs?

[Ivan The Awesome]

Get rid of a injury prone QB for a recently injured QB. Yup sounds wonderful.

The Vegas Raiders have the what 12th and 19th picks?  That's what I find interesting and they're going to want an attraction.  I'm not promoting it but if we do ship Cam, that's where he'll go if I'm a betting man.  Not Chicago, Denver or San Diego (All of which happen to be my last 3 cities of residency haha)

This is and will be the best case scenario for a trade down.  Let Gruden fall in love with Herbert or Tua, they need a splash to enter Vegas with to sell tickets. They can give us a nice package to jump to 7 and take either QB if they're still on the board, while we can then "settle" for whatever large body humans drop to us.

If we aren't getting Burrow trading up is a non starter IMO.

We need every draft pick we can get. Trading back makes exponentially more sense

I agree with this I always believed the Raiders would be the team that would trade for Cam if he was available. Also OBJ will be on their radar as well.

 

Cam/OBJ in Vegas is pretty damn exciting if im a Raiders fan.

At #7, no player is worth moving up for except Joe Burrow and that ain't happening.

Yeah I'm in favor of keeping Cam here but I hadn't given any thought to San Diego trading for him, that's an interesting idea.  Cam jogging onto the field in a new stadium picking up the torch from Rivers makes sense.  You know the fans would show up for that.

I don’t think they would in LA to be honest. LA can’t even support one team let alone two and Rams already have cornered the market there. Chargers will do what makes sense to them football-wise, and I’m not really sure letting Rivers walk to trade for Cam makes sense for them. If they think they can compete next year, Rivers is a better bet to contribute than Cam due to injuries, despite age. If they go rebuild, I bet they go younger at QB and wouldn’t want an older, questionable-health QB. Would be interesting, yes, but I don’t see it.

I don't think Burrow is worth trading up for, TBH.

Detroit needs to stand pat and draft the best talent possible. Okudah makes sense for them bc corners are such a premium position now but Isiah Simmons makes sense for them too

[ImaginaryKev]

Simmons would be a Derwin James or Urlacher type dude for them. Freak big dude who's sideline to sideline and can cover. They should consider him if they can't land a pass rusher worth that spot

[Panthercougar68]

Say Tua doesn’t enter the draft...I can see a mad rush to jump Miami if I were the Chargers so the Lions might have a suitor in that case.

[LinvilleGorge]

No, I wouldn't trade a former NFL MBO who has been struggling with injuries in recent years for draft picks I planned to trade away to move up to draft a college QB who has been struggling with injuries in recent years.

[ImaginaryKev]

Lions drafting a QB bc of Matt Stafford's injuries (and his wife's health) would be crazy

I mean, he should be a candidate for retirement, he's had a rough year, they might need that pick

[WOW!!]

If you're trading Cam how the fug is getting Tua a better option...  He's smaller and injury prone...

[Xtreme]

Trade down only.
