Lions, Cardinals Talking Joe Thomas Trade?
AOL SPORTS, NY - 12 hours ago
A source in Indianapolis says there's talk at the NFL scouting combine of the Arizona Cardinals swapping first-round picks with the Detroit Lions in an effort to bring Wisconsin tackle Joe Thomas to Arizona.

The Lions own the second overall pick, and most mock drafts have them taking Thomas for themselves. The Cardinals have the fifth overall pick. According to the chart teams use in determining value of draft picks, to make it a fair trade, the Cardinals would probably have to throw in their second- and third-round picks in the deal.

This would be a great deal for both teams. Arizona desperately needs o-line help and Thomas looks like the real deal, while Detroit has a ton of holes to fill and could use the extra second and third round picks. I think we'll see this deal get done. What do you think?

A 1, 2 and 3 for a rookie LT. That's a steep price (if it's in the same year, not even the Giants did that for Eli) but you can't argue with Arizona's motive. They need a LT to develop their offensive line (and although the LT isn't as important to them as the RT since Leinart's a lefty...isn't he?).

If it does get done, I wouldn't expect it until we get much closer to draft day.

Odd.

All previous reports said that the Cardinals had no interest in trading up because it would cost a hefty price and they didn't feel Thomas was a can't miss prospect. I don't know what to believe, but I wouldn't bet the farm on Thomas, that's for sure.
