What is your main gripe with the proposed Briggs deal?

Personally I'd rather hold on to the #6 pick too and see what shakes out on draft day.

I think people are generally working under the assumption that one of the guys available to us at 6 is going to be a very in-demand prospect.

Jamarcus Russell is loved because he's huge and has a cannon arm
Calvin Johnson is loved for obvious reasons
Joe Thomas is thought to be the only franchise T in the draft
Brady Quinn looks real good to QB-hungry teams
Adrian Peterson has crazy RB talent

Given the needs of the teams in the top 5, there's a good chance one of those guys falls to 6. I think people are assuming one of them will be there for us, and that someone will want them. I think chances are, we'll be fielding a couple offers.
