Looks like the Lions have drafted one CB in the first 3 rounds since 2006.

Yeah. The rumor is they want to trade up to get Gilmore, Barron (everyone seems to want to trade up for him), or Kirkpatrick. If they aren't able to trade up, I'd imagine they go BPA (aside from DT). I'm guessing 17 is Kirkpatrick's ceiling so he could easily fall to at least 20 or so (at which point it'd be easier to trade up for him).
