I know some people are excited about moving up the board but I think this blows. The Lions can simply just not afford to have so much money tied up in so few players and the higher up they move the less likely a trade down scenario becomes. I just don't think they'll manage to trade out of a top 3 spot. At that point I say just don't pick and drop down the board a ways. That's what was suggested last year and would be a valid argument again.

I agree about it sucking to be picking that high...BUT...if we know we can get Suh at #2, its almost like getting a defensive "calvin johnson"..as far as value goes.

Does anyone have the most up to date strength of schedules? Are the Lions at 2 or 3?

In this particular draft, being at #2 is better than being at #4. If Suh is there at #2, that is the Lions' opportunity to trade down and stockpile picks. If a great offer isn't there, then drafting Suh is a pretty good plan B. If we were at #4, Suh would likely be gone so the opportunity to trade down probably wouldn't be there.

That's one angle I didn't really think about. I don't think that the QB is a big draw this draft so if Suh goes #1 it tosses that scenario. Who really knows though. Hope for the best no matter what their draft position is. Maybe the football gods will be kind.

Even though tonight's game affects the strength of schedule for the top three, it's clear that the Lions would have the 2nd overall pick. Obviously, the Rams would be first with only one win. The Lions would pick before the Bucs since their opponents have 115 wins, while Tampa's opponents have 126 wins. That could change after tonight, but it won't matter much.
BTW, the reason that the Lions moved so far ahead of Tampa for the second pick was because every NFC North team lost, while every NFC South team won this week.
