Free agency hasn’t even started, and the Detroit Lions may have already made their most important move of the offseason.

The last time the Detroit Lions had the No. 6 pick in the NFL draft, they kept their plans so secret even the player they picked was surprised to get a phone call telling him he was coming to Detroit. “Darryl Rogers called me and said, ‘Hey, congratulations, you are a Detroit Lion,’ and I
