I guess you missed my post where I said we originally got TH for Vonnie Holliday and a 6th rounder. Nobody is going to give up a high pick for him a year later coming off a knee injury. The Lions may have a need, but they're not dumb.

Hightower is better than anything they have though Matty. And the Lions need to have at least a decent running threat to keep the opposing Ds honest. I will backdown on the second rounder, but I still think a mid round pick is doable. Best is a bust straight up and Kevin Smith sucks. Do we really keep 4 Rbs? Helu, Royster, and now Morris show promise and are young. It is a shame if we just dumped TH, when we could get some pick for him. I know you think it will be a gamble on the Lions part, but they just do not have a running game to speak of. Hightower looked decent in his showing.
