Assuming Texan's pass on clowny... it is possible he drops to where we can trade to #3. I think the Rams are pretty set on getting Greg Robinson. However the Jags would prob. take Clowny. So if we wanted him... that is where we would prob have to trade up.

Jesus it would take that much? I felt as if the first and second would be enough, but I'm not too draft savy

Possibly could cost us 1st / 2nd with picks in 2015... The only thing that we have going for us if we want to move up is that a lot of the top 10 teams are looking to move down. Competition means you get it at a better value.

Our first round pick this year + next year for Clowney.

I have pretty high hopes from our DEs coming in this year in Ezekial Ansah and Devin Taylor

Lions hosted Clowney today

@ttwentyman: The #Lions have signed CB Aaron Hester and CB Nate Ness to the roster. The team begins their voluntary minicamp tomorrow.

This for me definitely rules out CB at 10, can't wait for the draft, really want a impact defensive guy or mike evans

cmccosky: Lions sign former Vikings DE George Johnson

Pretty cool breakdown of roster / salary cap

What is your guys take on Suh missing the voluntary practice? I'm iffy on this, because

Its voluntary, its not required to show up, why potentially get hurt or something on the rim of a big contract?

But then again hes a captain, he should lead by example. Go there and show that hes a captain and mentor the younger dudes like Fairley, he's been in a slight decline since he came into the league. (Not really) BUT hes still a presence in the line but his sacks have gone down etc. you cant measure him by sack numbers but you know what I mean....i just think he should lead and be that captain and be there.
