As a result of their appeal, the Lions have confirmed they will get back the seventh round pick they lost as punishment for tampering with a Chiefs player under contract in 2009. The pick, which the Lions acquired from the Broncos, will be second of the seventh round (No. 202 overall) and will give them a total of six in this year's draft (April 28-30). That extra pick takes on added importance since free agency is on hold during the lockout. However, the Lions will forfeit either their sixth or seventh pick in the 2012 draft, depending on whether they make or miss the playoffs. If they make the playoffs, they lose their sixth pick; miss the playoffs and they lose their seventh. Source: The Detroit News
