The Lions have the No. 8 overall pick in the draft and there are a lot of choices. The draft class is loaded with defensive prospects and the Lions could use all of them.
Here's a look at what those wacky mock drafts are saying about your beloved Lions:
CBS Sports: A.J. Brown, WR, Ole Miss. "How about something other than a pass-rusher for the Lions here at No. 8 overall? Let's do that. Marvin Jones is still around to be the complement to emerging star Kenny Golladay, but Detroit has to get more out of the expensive Matthew Stafford. With Brown, they'll get size and outstanding yards-after-the-catch skills."
Bleacher Report: Clelin Ferrell, DE, Clemson
NBC Sports: Josh Allen, LB, Kentucky: "The Lions kept Ziggy Ansah on the franchise tag. They could use another pass rusher even if Ansah stays long-term. Whether Allen is consensus top-15 at this point in the process or not, guys that get after the quarterback rise up boards. He finished the regular season with 14 sacks and 18.5 tackles for loss."
Sporting News: Clelin Ferrell, DE, Clemson: "Ferrell is at the top of the Tigers’ defensive line prospects because his size (6-5, 260 pounds) gives him a good baseline as an outside run-stopper to add to his explosiveness as a pass-rusher. He’s the kind of versatile player out of whom Matt Patricia can get the most, and he also fits the Lions’ top need."
