Lions dining with Thomas, not looking at QBs

The Detroit Free Press is reporting that Detroit Lions team officials, including Matt Millen, took Wisconsin tackle Joe Thomas to dinner Monday night.

Tuesday at the Senior Bowl offensive coordinator Mike Martz said the Lions needs were "everything, except for a quarterback."

This could be a smoke screen, but it looks like the Lions are satisfied with Kitna as their QB and will look to address other needs with the 2nd overall pick in the draft.

Lions, Raiders, and Bucs sit atop draft

The three worst teams all lost again on Sunday and the top five spots in the draft are currently held by the Lions, Raiders, Bucs, Cardinals, and Texans. In FF's latest NFL mock draft Robert Davis predicts these teams will draft Quinn, Johnson, Adams, Thomas, and Peterson.

The Lions currently have the number one pick over the Raiders due to the strength of schedule tie breaker. The Lions finish the season against the Bears and Cowboys. The Raiders finish with the Chiefs and Jets.

Lions control first pick

The Lions lost again on Sunday and they have three very losable games to finish out the season: at Green Bay, vs Chicago, and at Dallas. If they manage to lose all three, they should have the first pick in the 2007 NFL draft. Brady Quinn, Joe Thomas, or a trade down are all possibilities for the Lions with the first pick.
