Lions win in all scenarios

There are 4 short days to go and everyone is finishing off their preparations. The sports media world is busy adjusting their own draft boards and submitting their final mocks for our musing. Many of us have been through the mill of emotions attatching ourselves to various picks as 'the guy' to make Lions playoff calibre finally. Now it seems to me that the Lions can go in numerous directions with the 13th pick (including trading it) and hit on a solid contributor. Let us survey:
1. Scenario 1 - Aldon Smith, DE
It looks like Aldom Smith from Mizz is the new cool pic to Detroit. It also looks like all of a sudden Detroit could do with as many Defensive Ends as possible or we won't have a great line anymore. I personally don't think Smith slips past the Texans at 11. However, the possibility of that has raised talk of the Lions TRADING UP (with what ammo??) to ensure they get his services. Now I am not saying that getting Smith wouldn't be awesome. But I do think trading up would be silly. We need the picks and if anything, trading down is the smart move. Besides if Smith goes at 11, it probably means that Bowers or Quinn are still around at 13 which in my book is just as good. Even trading down could mean we have a shot at Ryan Kerrigan. All good. WIN
2. Scenario 2 - Tyron Smith, OT
Several mocks have us taking Tyron Smith or Anthony Castonzo to sure up the offensive line. Again most mocks seem to think we have dire need at OT and need to sure up our swiss cheese, sack alley of an o-line. Utter rubbish, but either of these guys are a big plus and sure upgrade for now and the future. Interior linemen are a bigger need but this pick is a WIN
3. Scenario 3 - Prince Amukamara, CB
My favourite pick and the biggest need on the Lions team right now. The Lions secondary is not as bad as advertised and is full of potential, but we live in the NFC North and if you want to make the playoffs, and make noise there, then you need that number 1 guy who can take the best receiver out of the game. The Prince can be that guy and if he falls to 13 we have to pull the trigger surely. Yes talented young corners can be found from rounds 3-5, but we already have guys like that. Grab the Prince, WIN
4. Scenario 4 - DeQuan Bowers, DE
He may never fully recover from his knee injury. His private workout showed his limitations due to the injury. He may only last 3 years in the league. Most of his sacks at college came from a clear run at the QB. But he led the nation in sacks and tackles for loss. One thing is for sure, Mayhew will not take a risk if there is bust potential. He is too smart and will consider all his options. So if he drafts Bowers it is because all necessary questions were answered. WIN
5. Scenario 5 - Trade down further into round 1 and take Jimmy Smith or Akeem Ayers.
If the Lions trade down for more picks in rounds 2-4 that is very good news. There will be suitors at 13 for the best OTs, Julio Jones and any DEs that slide. The Lions will get good trade offers and if they can drop to the 19-32 range and build up a good number of picks it will most likely allow them a good, non-reach opportunity to grab Akeem Ayers or Jimmy Smith (if he is worth the risk). This is a win as long as good trade value is gained. I say go for it if we can collect more picks. WIN
