Who Should the Skins Draft If They Had the Lions' First Three Picks?

If we've got a deal in place to move Sanchez, then sure, we could draft him. But in that case, why not just make the trade prior to the pick? I wouldn't draft him with nothing more than a hope that we can trade him.

Sorry...that's what I meant in the first place. Bait for trading picks...

Edited the title again for further clarification

Sanchez as trade-bait...maybe the Lions will value him at 13 and trade-up to get him. (I doubt they take a QB w/ the first pick...hell I'd take J. Smith, Curry or Raji all before the top QBs). Still the draft is really so unpredictable so I won't be surprised no matter what happens.

that is a good point. If detroit passes on stafford and sanchez slips to us, they could throw some picks at us to get sanchez.

Since the thread was who should the skins draft if they had the lions first 3 picks not who should the lions draft

1. Jason Smith
20. Clay Matthews
33. Alex Mack

Do we still have 13 in this scearnio

No 13th pick.
FYI - We have the same exact picks.

After:

1. Jason Smith
20. Beanie Wells

I'd take Alex Mack at 33 if he was there, but if he isn't, I'd go defense, probably Clint Sintim.

This looks good to me. I might switch Mack to #20 and take the best LB available at #33 to be sure I got Mack, but I would be very happy with those 3. Beanie Wells at #20 would sure shake Portis up wouldn't it? :)

not really since it was portis who was trying to recruit Edge James to come here before he went to the Cards.

Well that's true but Edge is a couple of years older than Portis and they're friends. Him, Tana, and Edge are pretty tight and Edge is certainly no threat to Portis. No more than S. Alexander was. A young Beanie Wells with the skill set he possesses might not be so welcome. It's hard enough for Betts to get on the field without Portis having a fit.

1. A.Curry olb
2.T.Jackson de if available , or best oline
3.best oline available - A.Mack ,P.Landot , D.Robinson

If you have the first pick ,you take the best player in the draft regardless of need. It's to much money wasted on a possible bust prospect that will cripple a team financially . Plus OLB is a need for us anyway ,just not as much as o and d line . We have a top defense with no turnovers and brought in Hanesworth to help that. Theres not another player that could have as much impact on are defense as Curry. Also there is some Oline depth and would be able to pick up one or two with the 20th and 33rd picks.
