Even if we give up two firsts it would be less than a probable trade up in the draft to get a top qb. I don't see any other choice, get the guy.

It all depends on whether Ballard and Reich feel like Stafford is worth what Detroit is going to want. And that’s definitely not a given.

Ballard isn’t averse to giving up a lot if he believes the player is worth it, as we saw with Buckner.

But I agree-if it’s at all feasible, they have to do it.
