REPORT: Lions GM Willing to Trade Out of #3 Overall Pick

[Mr Mojo Risin]

I'm sure Hurney will want to jump all over this. I hope we stay at 7. Any of you know how much we'd have to give up to move up 4 spots? Doesn't really make sense for a team like us to give up future draft capital during a rebuild does it? Unless we're sold on Tua but I still dont think itd be worth it. What do you guys think?

[Happy Panther]

Not the year to trade up for sure. There is way to much talent in the first 15 picks.

By the trade chart it would cost our first, second and third rounders this year.

They may want more than that but who knows.

Miami could give up 5 and their second to get there.

Considering Hurney's draft history after the 1st, this wouldn't be a bad idea.

Much rather move our second + to move up into the bottom of the first. Play to the strengths of who you've got at GM. Two picks in the first would get us that Hurndog magic.

[Jesse]

We have too many holes in our roster to fill. Draft picks are not a commodity we can give up if we want to be successful long term.

[Jaxel]

If it nets you the Qb you want than totally worth it.

[Mr. Scot]

Hurney trading up scares me.

[SmokinwithWilly]

Only player I could see I really making that move for is Young if Burrow goes 1st and Miami moves to 2 for Tua. 

[Shocker]

I would rather just sit there at seven and take Brown.  Let Miami and LA take their chances on Tua and Herbert.

[MMA]

We’d be dumb not to trade up for Tua at 3. Tua could actually be a better fit for Rhule and Brady than Burrow. 

[Tbe]

You’d have to outbid Miami to get there. It’s a heavy price considering the holes we have.

To pepper in some nonsense:

Who was the first coach brought in after Tepper took over? Jake Peetz.  Alabama's offensive analyst twice over.  Reports were that he worked with Nick to implement RPOs that highlighted Tua's skill set.

Maybe we've been targeted Tua all along. Muaahahahaha

And edit/add: He was also one of the only to remain through the staff transition.  Maybe this is all why Hurney is still here.  His hand is being forced to draft Tua and the new staff will be targeting the mid/late rounders.  He's basically demoted as is and will be the fall if it doesn't work out.
