Every year around draft time there’s talk somewhere about NFL general managers telling lies and putting up smokescreens. I usually don’t buy into it. Generally I feel that teams are pretty open about their intentions are. While they may not say it out loud, it can be well estimated what each team is going to do come draft time. With the Detroit Lions, it feels as though it’s a bigger mystery than ever.
Just about everything I thought this team would do this offseason has gone the opposite way. I thought they would be spenders in free agency and they largely weren’t.
