Trade of Dre Bly likely changes Detroit's direction in April draft Detroit, owners of the second pick in this April's draft, traded CB Dre Bly to the Denver Broncos for OT George Foster and RB Tatum Bell. With Foster and incumbent LT Jeff Backus, the Lions appear set at the tackle position, and all the less likely to draft OT Joe Thomas of Wisconsin. Also, any chance that the Lions shock everyone and spend their first round choice on RB Adrian Peterson of Oklahoma are now nil with Tatum Bell able to handle the load at RB while Kevin Jones recovers from the Lisfranc injury he suffered in Week 14 of last season.
What does this mean for the Browns? With Brady Quinn being the likely choice for the Lions now, the Browns look to have their choice of two players who will fill areas of need: Adrian Peterson and Joe Thomas. And, though the majority of "experts" predict that the Raiders will draft QB JaMarcus Russell of LSU, there is still a chance that WR Calvin Johnson, this year's pre-draft "freak", is chosen with the first pick by Oakland. If that is the case (or Matt Millen really shocks the world and takes another WR in the top 10), either Quinn or Russell will be there for the Browns to scratch their heads over at #3.
Though the Detroit-Denver trade (linked below) makes Detroit's plans a little easier to figure out, it is still pretty difficult to see what the Browns will do.
