Really? Behind Jones.And who are the starting corners now in Detroit?

Wow.
I guess it will be Dre opposite Champ. That's tough.
So much for KJ's readiness for Week 1.

Hi-five to all the other owners that don't own Tatum Bell.

That noise you hear is Brian Calhouns value being 
Denvers defense looks much improved. I think more first downs for Cutler is good news.

Disagree. Everything out of Detroit has been along the lines of "Detroit won't spend a high round pick on a RB. Love Jones, think he'll be back for Week 1. Will acquire a cheap veteran for insurance."Bell sure seems like an insurance policy to me.

By the way, this was from a blog with the Lions beat writer on Feb 11. Not still up on the blog, but it still up on the blogger:
So there you go: T. Bell = Insurance

What could you get for M Bell? You are probably better keeping him and hope he can somehow be a starter.Edit: Wait what about Jamal Lewis becoming a Bronco?

As a Jamal Lewis owner...would love to see him with a Donkey on his helmet.

I don't see how this changes a whole lot, the Broncos won't have to use their relatively small cap space on a back or draft one with a high pick.
Just as likely they will pick one in the 3-4th round to compete with MB IMO

They should include them drafting a RB with the last name Bell. It's a common enough name that eventually Shanny will hit the lottery if he keeps getting RBs named Bell.Kyle Bell colorado state or George Bell from V Tech enter the draft?

Brady Quinn to the Lions.
Good trade for both teams.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Shanahananahan trade up for Marshawn Lynch.

It was a very nice trade, good job Shanny!
I think the Lions got taken. The one thing there's plenty of around are running backs. No need to trade for a backup to KJ.As a Charger fan me no likey.
Don't laugh, but don't be surprised if they take Johnson. Seriously.After he ran the 4.3 40 at the combine, a lot of whispers were heard around here.

Why is nobody talking about Foster here? It's not like the trade was Bell for Bly straight up.

I put that in a Mock a while back and wouldn't be the least bit shocked if that's how it went down. That said, I think that they're going to need to address the long term QB situation sooner then later, if not with QUinn in rd 1 then perhaps w/ Stanton in rd 2.

Given the current roster, it wouldn't surprise me if they took CJ. In fact it would be the RIGHT move. But if they pick up Kevin Curtis like is rumored, then it would surprise me.

Bly didn't fit their scheme and their top two RB's are coming back from significant injury.

The Chargers would never let him go to a division rival.

Good call. Denver homers, or anyone who knows linemen well, is this guy a difference maker? Not too familiar with this guy.

Anyone familar with George Foster ?
He was a first round pick
of the Broncos a few years ago.
Sounds like a solid trade for the Lions
if Foster can perform at OT.

Foster was benched mid-season and only got his job back when Adam Meadows got hurt.
Sweet.
Denver got the CB they needed and didn't give up a draft pick. Gave up a RT that was benched midseason (started again only after his replacement was injured, and had been mentioned as a possible cut) and a RB that was overvalued.
Great trade for Denver IMO. Bly and Champ...nice.

he had a disapointing year. IIRC, he was benched for performance reasons towards the end of the season. I think he's too big for what the Broncos are looking for in a lineman; I never understood why they drafted him so highly in the first place.From the Broncos perspective, they offloaded two players who had no real future with the club, for a pro-bowl CB.From the Lions perspective, they off loaded a high priced CB who didn't fit their system well and got depth and speed at RB, and a lineman who can do what they want him to do. In reality, it's not a bad move for Det either.
FWIW, I hate Foster. But IMO he will be a better RT at Detroit then in Denver. Denver's system required him to be mobile, and that is not something he can do to their standards. Detroits system doesn't require that so I think he will improve with them.

If they got their rival's 1st and 3rd round picks, I think the Chargers would take it and look for a reasonable replacement.

I think you're probably right. I can't see them drafting Joe Thomas now. Between Foster, Backus, and Jon Scott (who played well down the stretch), they aren't looking terrible at the position.
