Pats looking to trade picks for Taylor

I don't understand. Why would the trade mention Detroit and not us?

Are they so certain that we'll pass on Sean Taylor?

Hasn't Joe Gibbs already said publicly that we would trade the #5 if the deal was sweet enough?

Am I missing something here? Wouldn't New England want to deal with the team that has the better chance to land Taylor?

For the record, I would take the trade. Taylor is supposed to be good, but hell, who knows? The "experts" were pretty high on Mike Rumph too!

Why not bait the #5 for Taylor, I for one am happy with Ohalate

First off thier is no guarentee that detroit would swap with us, as well we would be getting to late #1's unless we are looking at D-linemen we won't be able to get a high impact player, there is a reason that 1 of the very elite defensive coaches want's taylor and is willing to give up so much, especially when they need a RB and line help, they know taylor is the real deal, I am not giving that up unless the deal will net me winslow, a big D-tackle, and another player.

The Pats have released a statement on their web site saying the Lions contacted them but no deal has been struck. Does that mean other teams have inquired? Possibly the Redskins have entered the mix.

Interesting, sound's like detroit's #6 pick can be had, I say we stick with taylor then do what we have to do to get detroit's pick and grab winslow.

Some fine print you guys did not notice in this rumor article - The Lions would also give The Pat's their 4th round pick in 2004 as well as the 6th pick. Last time I checked, we do not have a 4th round pick. We have a 5th and a 6th round pick.
This is the same type of rumor as yesterdays Raiders 1st pick to Redskins...a bunch of chit!

Wow.. and Barry Sanders 'un-retires" to the Ravens? LaVar has dropped his grievance? Postons named by NFL owners as Agents of the Year!

Now that's some April Fool's joke!

Let's say we get a 2nd for Gardner. Is Trotter, the 2nd and maybe next year's 1st too much for the Lions' 1st this year and maybe another mid-to late round pick?
