The Lions have acquired 24-year old cornerback Alphonso Smith from the Broncos for 25-year old TE Dan Gronkowski.  Smith played in 15 games as a rookie for the Broncos last season and he had 14 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss and he defensed 3 passes.  He also returned 10 punts for 47 yards and 4 kickoffs for 75 yards.  Gronkowski played in 2 games as a rookie for the Lions last season catching 1 pass for 4 yards.  This was a outstanding deal for the Lions as Smith has a upside that Gronkowski could only dream of.
