In my opinion the WORST case is:
We cant sign Logan Ryan
WAS drafts Chase Young at 2
We cant find a trade partner
and we select Okudah at 3.

Its really not a horrible thing to have happen....we just lose out on some value

Best case:
WAS drafts an OT to replace Williams
We draft Chase YOung at 3

Best Case 2:
Was drafts Chase Young
We trade down to 5 and still get Okudah or Simmons

Several things are falling into place nicely for the Lions to maximize value at the top of this draft:
Washington and OT Williams likely split
Tua releases video of him looking more nimble than ever
Chargers HUGE need for a QB could start a bidding war for Tua at #3
If someone REALLY wants Tua they may even jump to #2 which guarantees us Chase Young
If Tua goes at #2 does someone jump to #3 for Herbert?

Right now if i had to guess i think Miami trades with us and we get 5 and 26. Which is better than the value dropping 2 spots holds...we should get 39 instead of 26 but we may up the asking price if the Chargers are calling.
