The Facts: Former Lions and current San Francisco OC Mike Martz is behind the 49ers' attempt to swing a trade with the Lions for McDonald. Don't expect it to happen unless the Lions get an offer they can't refuse.
Diehards Line:While McDonald will be the No. 3 receiver behind Roy Williams and Calvin Johnson, MLive.com's Tom Kowalski notes he has excellent value in the slot. While the Lions would still have Mike Furrey for the slot if McDonald left, McDonald has better quickness and did a solid job with after-the-catch yards. McDonald, who has one year left on his contract, turned several short-of-the-sticks passes into first downs in key third-down situations with his elusiveness.
