The first major Lions draft move involved trading with division rival Minnesota to move up in the 2010 draft to select Cal RB Jahvid Best. Detroit also received a fourth-round pick which became oft-injured offensive tackle Jason Fox.
Best made quite an instant impact but was unfortunately unable to shake the durability concerns that dogged him at Cal. Fox
Minnesota picked up slots 34, 100 and 214 in exchange. The Vikings had decidedly mixed results with those picks.
No. 34 became cornerback Chris Cook, a long CB from Virginia whom I can verify the Lions definitely liked during the draft process.
