"Calvin Johnson has the talent to be one of the league's best wide receivers, but he's suffered a bit through the growing pains of the start to the Matthew Stafford era in 2009. Calling to mind the recent Detroit Tigers trade that sent Curtis Granderson and Edwin Jackson out of town, Drew Sharp of the Detroit Free Press wrote on Wednesday that the Lions should ship Megatron away as well, in return for a bevy of draft picks. Joining him in the "Trade Megatron" choir on Thursday is Terry Foster of the Detroit News (ESPN)."
I don't agree with this thinking at all. The Lions have wasted so many draft picks trying to find a standout WR, so you can't just turn around and start all over. Calvin is a top 5 WR, and the return would be much less then that. The Lions have some the pieces they need. What they have to do is sit back and let these young guys develop. They have been through so many WRs, RBs, and QBs that they need to let a group come in and develop over time. Trading away their best player is not the answer, especially since he is so young...
