Michael Felger, of the Boston Herald, reports the Detroit Lions, who own the No. 6 overall pick in next month's NFL Draft, have had discussions with the New England Patriots about moving down. The Patriots have seven picks in the first four rounds, including two first-round (Nos. 21 and 32 overall) and two second-round picks, and have said they might look to move up in the draft. Lions head coach Steve Mariucci indicated both himself and Lions general manager Matt Millen have spoken with Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. "One concern is moving from six to 21," said Mariucci. "That's a pretty good drop. You wouldn't do it just for (the Patriots' two first-round picks). It would require more."
If this does happen, i wonder who they will draft. Imagine if they got one of the Williams or Steven Jackson?
