Lions shopping #6 pick

Lions shopping #6 pick...A report out of Detroit indicates that the Lions have already talked to several teams about the possibility of dealing down from the #6 pick at the 2004 draft. In particular, the Lions have reportedly talked with New England about a potential swap of the sixth for the Patriots' two #1 picks, the 21st and 32nd selections overall. The Lions, who are still very much in a rebuilding mode but currently have only 6 total picks in this year's draft, are looking to move down, in large, to acquire more picks. The Lions, though, may also feel that the players they would get with the 6th, while quality prospects, wouldn't necessarily address the team's top priorities heading into the off season.

I'd like to see us make a trade down with the patriots for their two firsts this year, and maybe a second next year. Just as long as we trade down, I'll be happy. We have too many holes in our roster to justify spending top dollar on a #2 pick.

Pats picks are way to low. If we trade down we should stay in the top 15, and still get a quality guy.
