Would you trade up for Raji?

What would you be willing to give up for him, if anything?

I keep thinking that the Detroit Lions would be smart if they let it be known that Raji was the guy they wanted at #1. Let's face it, the #1 pick is something nobody wants any more because of the money and the 2nd tier players. Think about this, if you want Stafford, you'd settle for Sanchez. If you want Crabtee, you can settle for Maclin. Want Jason Smith?? Maybe you should just settle for Monroe. If you can't have Curry, you can take Matthews. Brown vs. Orakpo. Do you get it?

If you want Raji, there is not another player in the draft that can fill that hole like he does. He would give the Lions the most leverage in trading out of the spot because every team could use him 3/4 or 4/3 defenses.

I imagine somebody will be trading up for Raji, but it will be in the top 5 picks and that's more than we can afford at this juncture.
