Calvin Johnson to enter NFL draft - Yahoo! News

I know, we have enough wide receivers, but have you seen this guy play? He's gonna be nasty in the pros.

If he's there at #6, I can't think of a more perfect trade partner than the Falcons. They need a WR who can catch, some good PR after this past year and anyone who ever lived in GA knows they love their local college players. Trading down to #10 and pick up a 3rd round pick would be perfect.

Stellar idea. Alan Branch would probably still be there at #10. So would either Cason or Hall if we wanted to go CB.

Could also look at Jamaal Anderson at that spot

Hmm...the real question, then, is who could we trade that 3rd rounder for? Smoot maybe?

SF has a guy with good size and speed at WR who just needs the right system to flourish.. Taylor Jacobs.

I really like that idea. But I've heard, in all seriousness, that the Lions (yes, the Lions) are really interested in drafting CJ.

Part of the contract would require him to change his name to "Calvin Williams".

That sounds like something we would do - draft another running back or something.

Wow! Good thing they have a GM to make sure that team is getting the right talent.

You are kidding....Maybe Matt Millen is sick of his job, and is just trying to get back at all those fans who staged walkouts.

Well part of it could be a smokescreen. He could be trying to get someone to move up there to take Johnson and then get the Lions more picks. It's early though so you hear all sorts of rumors

Wouldn't that be the ultimate though, if he chose his fourth top 10 receiver in 5 years, just to kind of say F-U to the world and the city of Detroit? Then he lit a bunch of motown records on fire and drove off in a Toyota? I would gain a little respect for him if he did that.

You can get more than a third round pick by trading from 6 to 10. Detroit got a second round pick a few years ago going back only one pick from like #7 to #8. If we trade back we need a second rounder. Maybe to #12 or #13.

Wouldn't Tampa Bay or Cleveland take Johnson? The Bucs haven't had a solid wideout in eons.

I can't see the Browns going after a WR. And supposedly the Bucs want to find a replacement for Simeon Rice. So they might target Gaines Adams
