The Facts:
According to NFL Network insider Adam Schefter, the Lions met Friday and decided that if Oakland goes with LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell, as many expect, it has no choice but to draft the next best player on its board, Johnson -- barring a "blockbuster trade" offer.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Schefter went on to suggest that Lions OC Mike Martz was one of the key cogs in the decision, getting the rest of the organization excited about the way he would use Johnson. Schefter added the Lions made it very clear Friday night that their past failures at wide receiver will not deter them from revisiting the position.
