[The Q]

The BC Lions have traded up to the #2 spot.

The 2nd pick came by way of a trade with the Esks who take Lions 4th, 14th & 28th in exchange for 2nd and 20th picks.

[The Bartender]

Trade made official. BC is now on the clock...I'm thinking Westerman or Plesius.

BC Lions go ahead and take Jabar Westerman out of Eastern Michigan. Great pick. Big hole to fill and the Lions improve a position of strength

[The Bartender]

Lions traded away the 4th Pick but retain their first round pick. Curious to see who's left at the 7th spot.
