it seems we're stuck with the draft...

Screw the FA's , our draft could be special if the front office runs it correctly

Start by trading down with Detroit to #20 Add a 2nd and a 5th

1st #20 Clint Sintim OLB (Starter)
2nd #33 Jamon Meredith OT(starter)
3rd #80 Andy Levitre OG (starter)
5th #129 Brandon Williams DE
5th#142 Jason Williams OLB
6th #173 Joe Burnett CB (bye bye Tryon or Westbrook)

Sounds like you follow college ball (closely). I don't so have no idea whether it's realistic to get three starters from the draft in rounds 1,2, and 3. However, I'll just point out that would be a major feat for the FO being our 3 rd pick from '08 may never be ready to start.

Are you saying trade our #13 for the Lions #20, plus their 2nd and 5th?

We'll see if Mayhew is willing to help his old friends from DC.

Great deal if we could get it. Even Detroit's not that stupid. Not with Mayhew there.

That seems way too advantageous for us and of little benefit to them. I think if a trade works out at all we'll throw in two of our picks (hopefully our first and last) for something similar to what you have here.
