Report: Lions get their seventh-round pick back
After appealing the tampering charges filed by the Kansas City Chiefs in December, the Lions have now gotten back their seventh-round draft pick, according to a report by ESPN.com’s Mike Sando. That pick had been taken away prior to the appeal.
With the return of this seventh-round pick, the Lions will have six picks in the draft, April 28-30.
But, oddly enough, they will lose their seventh-round pick in the 2012 draft. They will still swap fifth-round picks with the Chiefs.
Were they guilty? Sounds like the answer was maybe just a little
The Lions have been mum on the charges and would not even confirm that they had appealed. That information was released inadvertently by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell a few weeks ago.
No matter what the lockout situation is, the draft will go on. The Lions have the 13th overall pick to get things started.

They got their 7th round pick back? This is news? After all the botched 1st round picks, we're supposed to care about a 7? The Lions can't even count to 7. Especially when it comes to wins.
