2008 NFL Draft: Lions Turn Attention to Offense in Fifth-Round

With the 136th pick of the 2008 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions drafted Wake Forest wide receiver Kenneth Moore.  This draft pick was acquired by Detroit on Saturday when they moved down two spots in the first-round, allowing Kansas City to move up and pick Branden Albert.
