this is what they need to do but I don't think they will

 

[cheeno]

there is a 7 round mock that has him in the 5th round Draftsite.com

Latest mock on Walter has him going to the Falcons in the third. I don't know when that mock was made but his stock is soaring.

Late names to look for: Jaylen Watkins, Trey Millard.

 

[michiganalex]

we all know that changes all the time. the workouts and combine will make it move more.

 

[michiganalex]

and about trading down, if one of the top QBS happens to land at 10 with Detroit the Jets could be players or if Watkins is there too. at 18 detroit still could get gilbert and Denaard

I think Ealy will definitely be in play at 10.

They could get Dennard at 20 plus he's the next Prince Amukamara.

If Watkins is gone, I'd love it if a team wanted to switch picks with us. I agree that Gilbert or Dennard will probably last until the late teens.

remember a few years ago we threatned to take Kellen Winslow with the 6th pick in the 2004 draft and literally stole a couple draft picks from Cleveland. I feel Mayhew can do the same here if the right taker comes. hell the Titans who draft 11th would be prime for that since they need a WR more the Detroit does.

Only if it's Cleveland again. No one in their right mind would trade up one spot and give us what they have. As far as being dysfunctional, the Lions rank two behind the Browns who hold the top spot.

id be nice though if he did it again. or at least traded down period to get more picks

I always in favor of trading down. Maybe we can become NE lite.

 

[michiganalex]

be strategic about it if they can and it seems like in this draft Trading down makes season. we can still get what we want, whethers its a WR or Denaard or Gilbert.

If trading down were as easy as you make it sound, every team would do it. If Sammy Watkins isn't available at #10, then I'm fine trading down. But in order to trade down there has to be a team willing to give up assets (draft picks or players) to move up. And while it'd be nice if a team drafting behind us falls in love with a QB like Derek Carr, I wouldn't bet on it.

Lewan plug n play lt could be a trade target

Jernigan first dt off the board

3rd or 4th qb off board

Mike Evans right now the clear cut 2nd wr off board

...all could be trade targets imo that teams could move up for...even if its just a couple spots. I dont see anyone jumping 20 picks for these guys.

Well, if Watkins is gone, I'm all for trading down. Even if it's just a couple spots, it might net us an extra 3rd round pick.
