Draft day blog: A trade
The Lions just traded their first-round pick, No. 15 overall, to Kansas City for the 17th pick (originally owned by the Vikings), a fifth-rounder and a swap of third-round picks (the Lions move up 10 spots to No. 66, from No. 76).
It was a good move. The Lions have more holes than picks and there's no must-have on the board right now. The Chiefs used the pick on Virginia tackle Branden Albert, who would have looked nice in a Lions uniform. But there are still several offensive tackle options on the board (Jeff Otah, Gosder Cherilus), there's a chance running back Rashard Mendenhall could still be around (though I'd bet Arizona snaps him up at 16), and the Lions could always go defense with someone like Jackson or a cornerback like Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.
