Adam Shefter reported that guard Rob Sims has been traded from the Seattle Seahawks to the Detroit Lions.
The move has a direct impact on the second overall pick in this month's NFL Draft. There has been much discussion in the media of the Lions using that pick to select Russell Okung, of Oklahoma State. That would allow them to insert Okung into the left tackle slot and move the current left tackle, Jeff Backus, to the left guard slot.
Sims natural position is left guard, so we can now assume that Backus will be left at his current position. This would all but eliminate the possibility of Okung being selected at that number two pick. The arrows seem to be pointing stronger in the direction of Ndamukong Suh being the Lions pick in that slot.
