Lions remain confident trade proposal coming

But the possibility of getting either of them wouldn’t stop Lions head coach Jim Schwartz from trading the No. 2 pick in the draft. Schwartz’s reasoning is that a team might want to move up and select a quarterback.

“I feel confident that we’ll have an opportunity to move back,” general manager Martin Mayhew told the media on Tuesday . “Will that be an opportunity that we want to take advantage of? Will it be a situation where we feel we’re getting appropriate value? I couldn’t answer that right now.”

The only feasible scenario would be St. Louis taking Suh and a team like Cleveland or Buffalo wanting to get better positioning to take Sam Bradford.

It’s somewhat far fetched, but still a possibility.

“It’s going to be interesting to see the way it all shakes out,” Schwartz told the media. “Quarterbacks make people move at the top of the draft, and I think that it’ll be interesting to see when it’s all said and done how much interest there is in those (quarterbacks) and where we go with that second pick.”
