Excellent point, I think its less likely if that they would trade up for a LB, and I dont necessarily think it would be that smart for them to do it for DT either, but there is an extreme dropoff at DT after Raji and I think he is one of the few players they could draft that could help their run defense.

I know everyone loves speculating on what we can do in the draft and here is my turn at it. From what I have heard from everyone on this board the top needs that most people can agree on are TE, C, DE and possibly a LB to replace Crowell (I leave out WR because I dont think we will draft one). So here is my scenario, feel free to rip it apart: Lions have the 20th overall pick as well as the first pick in the 2nd round. Looking to get a high impact player at either LB or DT to help their struggling run defense they trade up with Buffalo to get either Maulaluga or BJ Raji. Trade: Bills Receive 20th overall 33rd overall Lions Receive 11th overall Bills 3rd rounder Bills Draft: 20th: Best DE available (Everette Brown maybe?) 33rd: Pettigrew if he is still there if not best linebacker available (Cushing, Clay Mathews, Laurinaitis, Marcus Freeman) and if none of them are available best Center available (No tight end other than Pettigrew is worthy of this pick now that Gresham is going back 43rd: If no Pettigrew at 33rd then address TE here with Chase Coffman I know that was kind of long and this is all a crap shoot until we know what we address in FA, but let me know what you think.
