Draft Update

Since the Lions drafted Roy Williams with the 7th pick overall pick the Lions have drafted 2 more good players. After moving back a spot to pick up Roy Williams the Lions traded up with the Kansas City Chiefs to take their No. 30 pick in exchange for the Lions' 36th-overall pick, fouth-round (105th-overall) and a 2005 fifth-round pick. With that 30th pick they selected Running Back Kevin Jones from Va Tech. This a great pick for the Lions who were looking for a running back after releasing James Stewart. Jones needs to work on a few things but was ranked as one of the top three running backs in this year's draft along with Chris Perry and Stephen Jackson. The Lions also drafted Linebacker Teddy Lehman from Oklahoma. The Lions have had a great draft so far. They are finally starting to put some players around Joey Harrington. They should have no excuses next year to be at least 8-8.
