We went back and forth on this one a zillion times, just like the Lions. Gaines Adams or Calvin Johnson? The big fear, of course, was that the Lions were drafting ANOTHER receiver. But Johnson's talent too much to pass up.
Now, there is still a chance they trade the pick, because the Bucs covet Johnson, as do the Redskins and Falcons. So don't forget the Eli Manning to the Chargers scenario a couple years ago. Within hours, he'd been traded to the Giants for Philip Rivers, who was taken fourth overall.
The sense this time, though, is that the Lions will hang onto him. With everyone saying Johnson has Hall of Fame talent, dealing him away and then watching him star elsewhere would be just one more downer for Lions fans who have dealt with more of their share of heartbreak.
... btw, Abramson about jumping out of his seat next to me frothing over Johnson's talent.
