2. Detroit--Calvin Johnson
Detroit selects a WR in the first round for the fourth time in five years, but don’t be too sure Johnson will end up in a Lions uniform this fall. The Lions could entertain trade offers for the Georgia Tech standout, a special player and the closest thing to a can’t-miss prospect in this draft. Now the Bucs must determine whether they are willing to meet Detroit’s asking price.

I was initially glad that the Bucs didn’t trade up to get Calvin Johnson. However, if the Bucs were going to waste their highest 2nd round pick on a guard, then using it as part of the ammo needed to trade for Calvin Johnson might have made sense.
Johnson will be less productive in Detroit than any other place in the league. He and the Bucs would have made a much better match.
