Lions select RB Jahvid Best
With the 30th pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions, who traded up with the Minnesota Vikings, select California running back Jahvid Best.
Best is the third running back off the board after Clemson's C.J. Spiller (to Buffalo) and Fresno State's Ryan Mathews (to San Diego).
In 2009, Best finished with 867 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns after missing the final three games of the season. Two years ago, he rushed for 1,580 yards and 15 touchdowns.
The Lions drafted Kevin Smith two seasons ago, but he is coming off knee surgery and may not be ready for the start of the season.
Now the Indianapolis Colts are the on the clock with the 31st overall pick.
