'Way too early' to say Detroit Lions are open for business with No. 3 pick in NFL draft

MOBILE, Ala. — The Detroit Lions may end up with a for-sale sign on the No. 3 pick of the NFL draft, but head coach Matt Patricia said it's "way too early" to declare they're open for business.

"It’s January," Patricia said Tuesday at the Senior Bowl.

With three months to go before the draft, the Lions' pick, if nothing else, seems to be where the intrigue starts.

LSU quarterback Joe Burrow is all but guaranteed to go No. 1 overall to the Cincinnati Bengals, and most draft observers expect Washington to take Ohio State defensive end Chase Young at No.
