    There has been some discussion that the Lions think there is no way they could pass on JR if he is not drafted #1 by the Raiders. This would make Quinn even more money since the Browns could still take him at 3 instead of dropping to the Dolphins at #9.

    If they dont take JR or Johnson, which i think would be stupid unless....maybe the Falcons would want to move up and get Vick finally a Wide Receiver. As a result swaping 1st round picks and also giving up there two 2nd round selections. That would give the Lions 3-HIGH 2nd Round draft picks which would be great for them.

    more "secret" information passed to the hacks...and they take the bait and run.

    next we will hear calvin johnson is really white which should hurt his draft stock.

    Theres a real good chance that Russell wont be the first pick......according to john clayton just now on espn....apparently if the dolphins get trent green then the raiders will be hot after after Culpepper, which will give them a reason to draft C Johnson...and where Jamarcus falls I have no idea.

    anything you hear within 2 months of the draft regarding rumors. just dimiss completely.


    some may stick but thats simply because every scenario will have been covered/rumored.

    Well I would like to think Clayton is pretty reliable but nah i think the raiders passing on russell for anything is completely dumb....Johnson is a great player but I think you need to try and re-establish that team around a qb.
