(NFL-Number-One Pick)
Detroit Lions general manager Martin Mayhew says there has been some moderate interest from other teams seeking a trade for the number-one pick.
However, Mayhew adds the chances are very good Detroit will have a deal done with the first-overall selection before the N-F-L draft begins Saturday.
Detroit is expected to draft Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford, Wake Forest linebacker Aaron Curry or Baylor offensive tackle Jason Smith with the top pick.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers may have been losers on the football field last season, but they were winners off of it.
The Canadian Football League team announced a profit of 761-thousand dollars for a season in which the team went 8-10 and lost the East Division semifinal to Edmonton.
That’s a turnaround of more than one million dollars from 2007, when the franchise lost 263-thousand dollars.
