Summary

The Lions have always said they will do whatever it takes to get the players they want and they do just that tonight. Brad Holmes trades up not once but twice to land Tate Ratledge and Isaac TeSlaa. Ratledge the big Guard from Georgia is an All-American and two time First Team All-SEC performer. TeSlaa is a WR from Arkansas who was born an raised a Lions fan here in Michigan. Two needs that Detroit did address, but, they have NOT drafted an EDGE rusher. You have to figure they will tomorrow with the five picks they currently own in the 6th and 7th rounds.
