Posted by ttwentyman on February 7, 2012 – 2:54 pmThe NFL has released the official order for the first round of the NFL Draft, and the Lions will make their first pick at No. 23.

Tim, Dude, Cleveland has the 22nd pick, NOT Atlanta, Remember? I see Cleveland taking WR with #4, and maybe again at #22 (if Floyd is still there) they would be stupid not to give McCoy TWO big time receivers.Maybe, that will keep the Brown’s whiners quiet for a while. The Lions will either go with Adams or the big center from Wisconsin at #23, and then flip that for they’re second pick!

I’m wondering how can Atlanta be ahead of Detroit when they was the 5th spot in the playoffs and both lost in the first rd of it as well.
