The Lions Super Bowl is here again!

It's NFL Draft day again.

The NFL Lockout has been lifted--as if anybody knows what that really means.

Free agency can begin today, but probably won't.  A ton of trades could happen today, but probably won't. 

The NFL has appealed the decision which lifted the lockout and it would be bad form to start working like it's business as usual while they're asking the courts to reinstate the lock out.  So don't expect any teams to run out and sign players or make trades involving players.

But do look for the Lions to make a trade up if they can get their hands on Amukamara or Petersen...which they probably won't be able to.  Don't look for them to take Jimmy Smith...the Ford's avoid potential problem players like Superman avoids kryptonite.

In that same vein, don't be surprised to see them trade up and then take a player they shouldn't--like Da'Quan Bowers.  Bowers might get into the league and blow up, but if he does he would be defying all the odds.

Look for them to take a LB in the second round tomorrow too, unless they don't take a DB tonight.

Good luck Lions...please pick somebody that is good AND fills a need.  I know Aldon Smith could be a great pass rusher...but that's upgrading a position that you are more set at than LB and DB.  Upgrading the DE won't help nearly as much as filling the DB or LB vacancies would.  Just saying.
