I’m not a big fan of mock draft trades, but if the Lions somehow figured out a way to come away with Witherspoon, Robinson, Torrence, Kancey, and Battle in the first two days, I’d probably have to change my pants.
Could easily be
Bijan at 9
Spoon at 18
Sure no problem!
As far as trade goes…
If Carolina only offers us a late 2 and late 4 mccaf picks
We still end up with :
Day 1
Bijan, Witherspoon, OCyrus Torrence
Day 2
Kancey Battle
Day 3
Olawatimi, Winters, Horton
And with the extra Day 3 pick we can go whenever you like with that…
Clark Philips CB/NB Or Tavai DT if one of our day 2 guys ain’t there
In 2024 we’d have 1, 2, 3a, 3b, 5,6,7 Comp 5,6,6
Nothing that drastic changes just the fact that trades for QB usually require future 1st round pick …our trade didn’t
That’s my dream bro
If it happens I’ll venmo you so you can go get some new drawers

I truly think trading #6 for the #9 and gaining #39 and #113 is pretty realistic since the Panthers have 2 seconds…
- Brian Branch- SS
- D Witherspoon- CB
- C Kancey- UT
- John Michael Schmitz- RG/C
- Z Charbonnet- RB
- G. Williams- CB (this years Jamo)
- Dorian Williams- LB
- Charlie Jones- Slot backup
- DTR- developmental QB
- Davis Allen- TE (red zone)
Hutch/Da Problem
McNeill/Buggs/B Jones
Kamcey/Levi
G Pratt/Barnes
Rodrigo/Dorian Williams
Okudah/Garret Williams
Witherspoon/Jacobs
Sutton/Iffy
K Joseph/Iffy
Branch/Walker
If Walker gets healthy then we have all kind of options and G Williams coming back next year. Even if we just get 9 and 39 for 6 I’d take it.
I like some of your ideas you lost my interest with your draft past rd one.
but good effort just not what I think they do. They don’t get attached to players like you in draft . You IMO made some bad picks an wasted picks with the bad picks. But just My Opinion.

How do the Lions get comp picks in 2024 if they sign Pratt, Heinecke, Wormley, and Shaheen…,
when Evan Brown is the top paid guy lost???

Really like the work.
6 for 9 and 39?
- ?
- Witherspoon
- C Kancey
- John Michael Schmitz
- G Williams
- Dee Winters
- DTR
- Charlie Jones
So at #9 and #55
B. Branch and Z Charbonnet
Or
Bijan Robinson and Jamie Robinson
I think Pratt is a strong suggestion for a target, and I would like to add a guy like Sutton too….
We have guys like Paschal and Commish who can kick inside. I think adding one guy in round two or three like Kancey, Mazi, Ika Benton and pairing that player with Buggs and McNeill and hoping for Levi to come back could be a solid rotation.
Mazi and McNeill would clog the middle and hold up strong….

If you add K Benton in 3, that’s not bad.
Not sure on exact formula but if we lose more then we gain and guys like Heinicki, Shaheen, and let’s say Jordan Philips if Wormley doesn’t take the hometown discount…
…won’t that wash out with losing 6-8 free agents?
Shaheen and Amani O probably a wash.
Backup QB and WIll Harris DB wash out
DT and ?? would wash out
Evan Brown (glasgow contract) , Anazalone might get 4-5 mil? Sudfeld backup QB contract Justin Jackson will probably go for 1.5, Woods might get a Board contract for 2 mil Special Teams…idk Austin Bryant is a stead veteran probably more then Reeves Maybin got last year?
Not sure on the formula but seems like we would get 3 picks in that scenario?
Coulld be more like 6,6,7 instead of 5,6,6 like I originally put but still?

Agree. We are in the best spot to trade. I don’t think we get multi firsts, but don’t need them…
-
J Carter- I don’t see them drafting over Fields, nor do I see anyone giving up the farm for Young. I’m not even sure gents ends up going QB1… for all we know half the teams took him out of the top 10 based on size.
-
Young- maybe Stroud?
-
W Anderson- Zona needs edge above all
-
Stroud- they have WRs, a line, and a RB, they can’t go project can they?
-
Wilson or Murphy. Elite edge is a big need
-
Levis - Edge, Levis OT1 all still there. I think a 3 slot trade adding a 2nd is very reasonable for Panthers to jump Raiders.
-
A Richardson
-
Wilson or Murphy- whoever left
-
Bijan or B Branch
I believe on the top 35% of free agents contracts counts.
32 picks are given out…
So…
Brown gets 10M per, and we pay Cam Sutton 10M per
Elliott gets 8M Apy…. And we pay Pratt 8M apy
If we don’t sign anyone else outside we might score a 6th or 2 from Anzalone or W Harris.
The comp pick formula relies on larger contracts than most of those other players would garner.
Last year… $2.6 million got a 7th round comp pick.
Brown would be “cancelled” by signing Pratt.
Anzalone made less than that in 2022. The others wouldn’t be a factor.
Nobody is paying Anzalone or Harris over $2.6 million (likely more) that would be needed to get a comp pick.
Agree.
2022
J Davis Cancelled by J Williams
Prater cancelled by B Perriman (eww)
Agnew got us a 6 at 4.75M APY
M Jones Jr got us 5th for 7M APY
Golladay got us #97 for 17M apy
E. Brown likely won’t get 10M- but if so cancels Pratt
Elliott likely gets around 8M- cancels by Sutton
If Anzalone gets 4M per we may score a 6th… maybe
Agree?
I don’t think Anzalone is gonna get over $3 million.
He was at $2.25 million in 2022… and I don’t see a big raise there.
So if we gain 4 and lose 4
Brown washes out with Pratt
Will Harris; Anzalone get us picks for their starter contracts ?
If Bryant, Amani O, Jackson, Woods, Sudfeld cancel out the low keys signings yada yada
Here is a good example.
.
Look at the dollars paid to Rams free agents last year…
and they didn’t get great comp picks…
$3.5 million got a 7th round pick.

Why isn’t Wagner on there?
