Poll: Lions on the clock CLOSED - Matt Stafford (1 Viewer)

Team needs according to NFL.com

QB, LB, OL, DL, and WR

Needs Analysis: The Lions hope to have the No. 1 overall pick signed before the draft. That could rule out a quarterback as the top selection, and a tackle might be the direction Detroit goes. The Lions want to get big on defense, so a linebacker in the 240-pound range and a stout tackle will be targets on draft day.

I am also looking for postings that will expand upon the reasons why you think the Lions should take the player you have chosen or if you think they will draft a player, but should pick somebody else - then please feel free to elaborate.

I didn't include an option for trade down, as I feel that isn't a likely scenario for the Lions as the first pick is too much risk for the guaranteed money that is offered and it would be a popular choice given the Lions have so many needs.

I will add a poll for the next pick after enough votes have been compiled.

Should've used a first rounder this year and next year to get Cutler and then draft an Ol with the #1 pick.

So are we voting on who we think the Lions WILL take or who with think they SHOULD take?

The question in the poll implies the former, but the text in the post suggests the latter.

To clarify - vote who you think they will take, but if you also think that they should take somebody else - then please post this.For example, I personally think they will take Stafford for the need to have a pick with some sizzle - but I think that they should take Jason Smith because the o-line was atrocious last year.Cheers,Faust
