I like the deal. Bly was done here. He had some good moments as a Lions (that's saying a lot), but he was expensive and his attitude began to grate.
The Lions address a need for a back-up running back (because of Kevin Jones' foot), they get offensive lineman which they need, and an extra pick.
Not bad, especially for a guy everyone knew the Lions were just going to cut.

Was just checking this out on ESPN.
So, as an outsider....does this mean they aren't looking at J Thomas in the draft? If the plan was to move Backus to RT with Thomas on the roster, is that no longer in the plans?
Makes TOTAL sense for Detroit to move done to a team who wants to be certain they get Thomas/Calvin Johnson/whoever, at #2.
