They have a good shot at securing a high enough pick on their own. If it came down to it and all things were equal, do you think the Lions would take Matt Leinart, Vince Young, or Phillip Rivers? In my opinion, it seems like Leinart and Young are more highly regarded than Rivers. If you're going to start all over again with a inexperienced qb, you might as well go with the one that a) is younger and b) is more highly regarded.<BR/><BR/>The season definitely gets in the way of the draft.

The season is really a drag......" That is funny. <BR/><BR/>I think Phillip Rivers is way beyond rookie status so far in fact that no one is even 70 percent sure what the Chargers were thinking when they picked up A.J. Feely as their backup. I think the Lions would be way too fortunate to get Rivers so it will never happen. <BR/><BR/>Rivers probably goes to the Jets or the Dolphins who would accept some mistakes. Then he will be a solid if not very good NFL QB.

The only way they are going to get Leinart or Young is if they make a deal to work up into the draft, and based upon their needs, they can't be giving draft picks away. Nobody is going to take any of their players. Based upon where they finish, I think it is more likely that they will look for a veteran QB in the FA market and try to shore up the O-Line in the draft. Some QB's who might be available include Aaron Brooks, Chad Pennington (I think the Jets might cut bait), Steve McNair (injury-prone), or even possibly Phillip Rivers (essentially a rookie).<BR/><BR/>Don't you hate all this downtime between drafts?
