Sorry I have been absent for the last week. I took some time to drown my sorrows after the 0-16 season became a reality. I am sure every Lions fan will understand.
This mock draft is making the assumption that Sam Bradford does not declare.
Pick 1 - QB Matt Stafford - The Lions need a new face for the “rebuilding” franchise. With that being said Matt Stafford is easily the most NFL ready QB is the draft. He already runs a NFL style offense which could help the transition.
Pick 20 - OT Eben Britton - The OT will be getting thinner by this point but Eben Britton should still be on the board. He is crazy strong and could be a starter as of day one. He would compliment the #1 pick nicely.
Pick 33 - OLB Brian Cushing - Paris Lenon did not shine this year. The defense is crap so this would be an excellent selection. Ernie Sims needs help crushing skulls.

Taylor Mays! Taylor Mays! Taylor Mays!
Drafting a QB #1 (especially someone as borderline as Stafford) is a HUGE risk.
Like OT with one of the first three picks….the rest need to be D.
