You can add another player to the mix at the #2 spot.
Oklahoma RB Adrian Peterson is reportedly scheduled to meet with the Detroit Lions on Friday, which further muddies the waters of speculation as to what the Lions are planning to do with their first round pick.
The Lions already have Kevin Jones, who started the majority of the games last year (and was only inactive due to injury), as well as the newly-acquired Tatum Bell and T.J. Duckett.
This looks like nothing more than a smoke screen to further entice teams to trade up to #2. The Lions would like to move down into the 4-6 range, targeting players like Wisconsin OT Joe Thomas or Clemson DE Gaines Adams, while adding another pick or two. The problem is that the teams who own selections 4-6 are very unlikely to be affected by that Lions’ visit with Peterson, as they are already set at the RB position. The Bucs (#4) are only interested in trading up if Calvin Johnson is available (and already have Carnell Williams), the Cardinals (#5) have Edgerrin James, and the Redskins (#6) have Clinton Portis and Ladell Betts.
