Makes TOTAL sense for Detroit to move done to a team who wants to be certain they get Thomas/Calvin Johnson/whoever, at #2.

That's sort of what people are thinking. Apparently, for some unknown reason, the Lions' coaching staff/management thinks the offensive line isn't all that bad. Getting Foster does fill the need for a right tackle and gives the Lions some flexibility in the draft now.
The Lions would like to trade down and get either a defensive end like Gaines Adams or Jamaal Anderson or even trade back a bit further and pick up middle linebacker Patrick Willis. Both are huge areas of need for the team.
