Lions trade the first pick in the third round for the jets third rounder, 4th rounder and 7th rounder. I think that this is a nice move by the lions gaining two more draft picks. I think that whoever the lions are planning on drafting will still be there plus it gives us a 4th round choice which is a big round as well. GOOD MOVE!!! I like where this is heading. What do you guys think?

September 25, FoxSports.com: Last week I was at the same college football game as the best general manager in professional football, Indy's Bill Polian. At halftime of the Kansas State-Louisville game, I picked Polian's brain about young GM prospects. To my great surprise he was extremely high on Mayhew, who was just promoted to assistant GM in Detroit.

Polian is convinced that Mayhew has a deep understanding of personnel and a tremendous work ethic. Mayhew was one of only four guys Polian identified as a future GM.
