Sam Bradford - QB - Player

The Lions are reportedly holding out hope that the Rams take a defensive tackle at No. 1, so they can deal the No. 2 pick to the Browns or Bills.

Both teams are believed to be intrigued by the idea of moving ahead of the Redskins to select a quarterback, likely Sam Bradford. The Lions are also hesitant to guarantee over $30 million to one player after dolling out $40 million to Matthew Stafford last year. Mar. 2 - 6:52 p.m. ET

why trade up? I'm sure Tebow will still be on the board at #9

Depends on what the cost will be.

1st, 3rd, and 5th... I could be convinced its worth it... points dont add up.

1st, 2nd, and another pick? thats a lot to give up.

1st, player, and 4th... if its Schobel? Take it. We dont really have much to offer as far as players. Lynch? Maybe. Parrish isnt worth much. McKelvin?

It will cost us a fortune. Its a new regime, I could see it happening. But you will hear a major outcry over a move like that for a rookie QB.

"believed to be intrigued" is hardly a rumor

Re: Rumor: Bills and Browns both would like to move up to No. 2 for a QB

no team would let their intentions known. any "rumor" or word coming out of anywhere from this point til the draft should be taken as BS or personal speculation

Looks like it's been edited already, and the tune has changed a little....

The Lions, who pick second in the first round, have their fingers crossed that the Rams don’t pick a quarterback so they can trade down with either Cleveland or Buffalo, who apparently are in the quarterback market. The thought process is that new Browns czar Mike Holmgren won’t want to lose his favorite quarterback to Washington and new coach Mike Shanahan. The Redskins are perched at No. 4, three spots ahead of the Browns. The Lions really don’t want to spend $33 million in bonus money on a defensive tackle.

Nevermind...it's actually a case of USAToday taking the first sentence from Fox, and injecting their own comment.

I would be shocked if they moved up the board...but look at what the Jets did last year to get their guy in Sanchez.

You can pretty much throw the points chart out the window. Most teams have made there own chart based on how they value draft spots by factoring in the $$$ or dont even use one anymore

Re: Rumor: Bills and Browns both would like to move up to No. 2 for a QB

It's moot, anyway, if the Rams select Sam Bradford 1st overall, which seems the odds-on bet now. The exorbitant guaranteed money that'll be necessarily forked over to ink the #1 overall player drafted- north of $42 million because that's what Matthew Stafford received last year from the Lions- makes much more sense to spend on a QB. QB's are obviously much more influential and effectual at changing a team's fortunes than even the best DT. So it seems that's what St. Louis will do and that we don't have to worry about what it will cost to move up to #2.

Moved up to 5 from 17 for their 1st, 2nd, and three players (coleman wasnt a great player, but solid, the rest were backups).

Id say we should expect about the same. 1st, 2nd, and a player of note... maybe Lynch, maybe someone lesser... like a Kyle Williams.

I'm not real keen about taking a QB this year at #9....if we drop our first two picks to move up to get one, I may have to get pissed.

I would not be opposed to trading Williams for one of the Saints RFAs at OT. Turn around trade their first second and Lynch to trade up for Bradford. Then spend money in FA for a veteran RB to replace Lynch. Now you have a young OT and the QB of the future.

The #2 pick is valued at 2600 points... The Bills entire 2010 draft (including the extra 6th and 7th) is valued at approximately 2250 points. We'd have to give them our top 2 picks this year and next... NO THANKS!

1st, 2nd, AND Lynch would be a horrible trade by the Bills.
