Another Scenario That Is Unlikely But Still Fun To Talk About

In this article (http://myespn.go.com/blogs/nfcnorth/0-10-37/The-merits-and-perils-of-passing-in-the-draft.html), ESPN's Kevin Seifert discusses the unlikely but intriguing possibility of the Lion's passing on their first draft pick, a la Vikings 2003. Well, seeing as how there is no forseeable clear-cut favorite for the Vikings either, I thought, "Gee, what if the Vikings did this(again)?"

Now, I don't know what real value there would be in doing it except to save money. And obviously if we were able to trade down we wouldn't pass the pick, but trade it. So this isn't going to happen.

But you know what? I don't care. Talking about unlikey scenarios that have absolutely no basis in reality is what we do a lot of the time anyways, and so I have taken this unlikely scenario and made it even unlikely-er. At the very least, it's an intriguing option for the Lions, which makes it slightly relevant to us.

The $47 bucks they’d save would hardly be worth it.

At 22 it doesn’t make much sense.

Yeah I know. But it’s actually a pretty intriguing option for the Lions.

In AP I trust
