It may be the off-season for the Lions, but that doesn't mean there isn't something to discuss especially coming off a 10-6 season. Check here for commentary and updates on roster moves, free agency and, yes, the draft.
4/26/2009
The Lions traded the opening pick on Day 2 of the draft to the Jets for third-, fourth- and seventh-round picks. The Lions still have two third-round choices, No. 76 and 82 overall. The Jets drafted Iowa running back Shonn Greene.
It's a very good move considering the Lions need players and entering the day they did not have fourth- and fifth-round picks.

awesome. i knew they'd be able to trade down and acquire more picks eventually. nice job mayhew.
hopefully they'll trade down at least one more time and get a few more picks too.
I'd like to see them acquire a pick in the middle rounds of next year's draft. We know this is a multi-year rebuilding process, so that wouldn't hurt either, especially if the Lions are in agreement that this draft is as thin as many others have said.
good point. acquire a few more picks this year and then a few more for next year.
OH HELL YEAH
I KNEW THE LIONS WOULD GO AFTER DERRICK WILLIAMS!!!!
