Top 10 Targets for the Lions

Detroit has six different positions up on my top ten targets for them. This includes if they would like to trade back as well. The Lions are probably gonna go with Jeffrey Okudah, Chase Young, Derrick Brown, or Isaiah Simmons with their third overall pick.

If they trade back to fifth overall from the Dolphins and if they also get the 26th overall pick in the draft, they can also get one of the guards or even Kristian Fulton if they did not go with Jeffrey Okudah. The Detroit Lions can also surprise the entire draft world by staying at third overall and picking the Alabama left-handed quarterback in Tua Tagovailoa.

That would shock the world. Tua would sit behind Stafford for a year and that offseason, Detroit would look to trade Stafford. I think Tua would be a shock but do not count out Detroit from doing something like that.
