It's five hours until the draft begins and I'll be here blogging all day — or at least until the Lions make their first pick hopefully somewhere around 5 p.m. All the surprises, all the trades, and what it all means for the Lions.

Quickly to get things started, I still think it's a long shot the Lions move Roy Williams today, but you can bet teams will inquire about the Pro Bowl receiver throughout the afternoon. The Eagles, Cowboys and Redskins are all looking to upgrade that position, and despite the insistence of Rod Marinelli and Matt Millen otherwise, there is some feeling Williams still could be had.

Bottom line is no one's untouchable, but it would take a great package to pry Williams away. He's entering the last year of his contract, which actually gives the Lions leverage. First, they're trying to win now and Marinelli correctly believes pairing Williams with last year's No. 1 pick, Calvin Johnson, gives the offense a danger factor you can't ignore. Second, while the Lions don't want to pay Williams franchise money next year, they can always franchise him with the idea they'll work a trade like what Kansas City (with Jared Allen) and Green Bay (with Corey Williams) did this year.

Now, the Lions do have a surplus of receivers and it wouldn't surprise me at all to see Millen deal one (Shaun McDonald?) this afternoon. But at the end of the day, I say Williams remains a Lion.
