Lions | Team debated trading in the NFL Draft; but passed
Sun, 30 Apr 2006 06:37:01 -0700
Tom Kowalski, of mlive.com, reports Detroit Lions team president Matt Millen gave some thought to trading up or down in the NFL Draft, but he wound up passing. "Teams were calling so you listen to everything and then, at one point, you just say `This is the right player, so let's take the player,"' said Millen. While there were plenty of offers for the Lions to trade down, Millen said he did consider trading up. "I did make one phone call, but it didn't make a difference," Millen said. While he didn't elaborate, it's believed that Millen contacted the Green Bay Packers, who had the fifth overall choice, about possibly moving up to draft Ohio State LB A.J. Hawk.
HA HA! They thought they could build their D around our Hawk! Too bad Millen!
Note: This is the last thread I will start about Hawk, I am just so excited that he is a Packer!
