Not gonna be popular... trade Roy and Julius for #2

[Stash]

This is the best response I can give to the 'proposal':

:gassy1:

Would you use this pick to take Peterson or Johnson? I want to see how ridiculous you are.

 

[iceberg]

remember your dealing with Matt Millen, and how poorly he negotiates for the Lions, but even if you had to throw in a couple of low round picks to go with them to me it would be worth it........

we'll remember that as soon as you remember this isn't madden football.

I would love to see what someone inside the organization looks like as they just read this. The reaction would be priceless.

Seriously, Id pay to see Jerry's face as he read this.....as botoxed as it is, im sure it would get one hell of a response.

I'm sure we wouldn't be allowed to post the response in this forum without some censoring....

yea, go figure. you can't call someone an idiot by rule (and i've come to be ok with that) but i sure do wish we also had a rule that you couldn't *act* like an idiot as well.

But for my money, now that I know the lions want to trade that number 2 pick badly, I would package Julius Jones and Roy Williams and come away with the number 2 pick, thus having the number 2 and the number 22 in the first round..............

Then using the number 2 I would trade back for more picks to where I was sure I could comfortably get Laron Landry to replace RW, eliminating my safety problems..........

Then utilize what extra picks I had gotten to do what was necessary to also bag Lynch or one of the other top backs like Bush to replace JJ, then laugh all the way to the Super Bowl, having upgraded my team by leaps and bounds and still not having given away my draft this year to do it,........................

I'd do it. It's popular with me. I just don't believe they would ever make that trade.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

get rid of Roy and ill probably go nuts

 

[Hostile]

I just keep telling myself to breathe in and out, count to ten, and exhale. Patience. Patience. Patience.

Oh the hell with that. Detroit has Kevin Jones, just traded for Tatum Bell, and you think they would be honry to add Julius Jones in a deal?

For all the protestations of how stupid Matt Millen is I think it is safe to assume he wouldn't do that with a gun to his head.

I wouldn't give up Roy Williams in any deal after he just signed a contract extension. What part of that escapes common sense that we intend to hang on to him. A 4 time Pro Bowl player in his 4 years in the NFL. Yeah, those can be found every day.


Breathe in, breathe out. Patience.

Yes, the offseason is boring, even with posts like this. Lottery numbers would be more interesting.

It's not going to happen, but you can dream about dropping the experience level in both the secondary and the backfield, regardless of how many people bash Roy and Jones.

Laughing your way to the Super Bowl takes more than these two picks in the first round. It only takes one team in front of you picking differently than you expect to screw up the pipe dream, and then you're crippled for that first round. And there's always at least one that does it, which is why so many mock drafts are just that.

Hos, you need to relax, you're starting to make mistakes, Roy has been in the NFL for 5 years.... even though he was screwed out of a probowl his rookie year.

I think a liger is pretty much my favorite animal. It's a like a lion *and* a tiger, bred for its skills in magic.

I can't relax even for a second. People are trying to screw my team. Must be on guard at all times lest they sneak past my impregnable defenses.

With all the RB's the Lions acquired, there is no way Millen will gofor it.

while your breathing in and out, try thinking as well about how your four time pro bowl safety is one dimensional and couldnt cover a one legged man in an *** kicking contest...........

kevin jones is injury prone and bell is nothing but a change of pace back........

and nowhere did i ever say this would or wouldnt fly, though i think it could be sweetened a little and made fly if need be, i just said i would do it, I have no man love for RW, I have waited for him to improve his cover skills and he is never gonna be able to, however Landry will be a probowl safety I guarantee that...............
