Lions In Negotiations Already For #1 Pick?

[RipCity32]

DANA POINT, Calif. -- The talks are only preliminary and the real target has yet to be identified, but the Detroit Lions are already in the process of negotiating a contract with their first-round draft pick. Lions president Tom Lewand said the team could move very quickly in getting a deal done, adding that "By the rules, we could agree to terms with somebody tomorrow if we wanted to.''

I wonder who it is.

I think they will hold it off until days before the draft. I'm sure they want to hear other teams offers just to see what else they could get for the #1 overall pick
