Corey Williams trade official, Lions give up jack to get him

The terms of the Corey Williams trade have been released.

Mlive's Killer Kowalski has the gist:

Detroit Lions general manager Martin Mayhew said that Detroit sent a fifth-round draft pick to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for defensive tackle Corey Williams and a seventh-round draft pick.

The fifth-round choice is Detroit's second of that round -- the one they received in a trade with Denver last season -- in this year's draft.

Getting the 7th round pick is a slight bonus, when factoring in Martin Mayhew's abilities in evaluating talent. His 2009 7th round picks, Zack Follett, Dan Gronkowski and Lydon Murtha, all stuck in the NFL. It's no longer a throwaway selection.

But when it comes down to it, the deal is all about Williams.

Trading a mid-5th round pick for a defensive tackle who will be a large part of the Lions' line rotation? Large ass contract or not, I make that deal every time.
