The Facts:
The Lions have agreed to terms with seven of their nine drafted rookies, according to MLive.com Lions insider Tom Kowalski. Defensive end Cliff Avril, a third-round draft pick, and six other rookies -- including Central Florida running back Smith -- are under contract and are scheduled to report Wednesday afternoon at the Allen Park practice facility.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Smith was of the nation's true workhorses last season as his 450 attempts broke the previous single-season mark of 405 set by USC's Marcus Allen in 1981. And workhorse hasn't been a word associated with his primary competition for carries in Detroit, Tatum Bell, in quite some time. With a full training camp and exhibition season to prove himself, we like Smith to nail down the starting job.
