    Do we have what It takes in tradeable assets and a future pic to pry Campbell from the Lions? Highsmith? (They need another rusher), and Queen? Wilson? Any others make good business to trade? And a future pic? Campbell will be an upgrade and I think he's only 25. Could the money work? I admit, I've complained lately about out our talent, but the more I read, I think we're close to having very good roster. Maybe some of you guys that have been doing serious roster planning and draft work for years could lend an opinion. And if not Campbell, is there another player at another position of need we could pursue in trade this off-season?

    Why would the Lions want to move on from their 2023 1st round draft pick? 3 years in the league and he already has 402 total tackles and he is getting better every year!

    I remember when they took Campbell in the 1st and I thought they reached on the pick. I guess I was wrong.

    I wanted us to take Campbell, one of my favorite players that draft but cant see Lions giving him up. Was there any reports that they are looking to shop him?

    I think they declined his 5th year option, because the league groups OLB and ILB together and they didn't want to pay that.

    Not going to happen ever.

    Should he continue his current pace, Jack Campbell will be a HOF if not First Ballot. He plays the position in the manner that it was meant to be played. For such a position that isn't thought of as much anymore, nabbing that dude at the MLB spot is going to become relevant yet again. My evidence is the return of the big MLBs that have been within College Football entering the draft within the past three seasons.


    I agree 100% with @Blast Furnace@Blast Furnace that I wanted him as well but after giving him a second look in my scouting notes, I laughed it off. Pretty sure I had him marked as a Top 20 Player via my final notes but not sure if I awarded him a Top 15 honor that Draft Cycle.
