Should Detroit inquire about Roscoe Parrish?
The Buffalo Bills are shopping receiver and return man Roscoe Parrish.
Eric Edholm of Pro Football Weekly thinks the Detroit Lions make the most sense as a suitor. Although the Lions have many holes to fill, the addition of Parrish would upgrade a few needs (third WR and punt/kick returner) with one roster spot.
Edholm believes that the Lions, who have five of the top 82 picks, would be able to acquire Parrish for the first pick of the sixth round (174 overall). That would leave the Lions with no picks in between No. 82 to No. 192.
Considering the number of needs the Lions have, I agree with Edholm that in cases were the Lions can upgrade in multiple spots with one player, it makes sense.
In 13 games, Parrish had 24 receptions for 232 yards and one touchdown in 2008. He led the NFL in punt return average (15.3 yards per return).
