The Detroit Lions hold the second pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. That pick, even more than Oakland’s first overall pick, will determine how the top of the first round shakes out. Detroit has a need at a number of positions, including: quarterback, inside linebacker, cornerback, tight end, safety and defensive end. Any of the top talents could drastically improve their team, but some are more valuable than others. Here are some of the scenarios the Lions could follow on draft day.

Scenario 1: Raiders take Calvin Johnson, Lions Stay Put and Draft Best Available Player

This is the doomsday scenario for Detroit. If Oakland were to take Johnson, the best available player, and not LSU’s JaMarcus Russell, the trade value of the second pick would be hindered. Teams are trying to trade into the second overall spot to draft Johnson. When those trades fell through, the Lions would still have a number of intriguing options available to them. They could take Russell or Brady Quinn to replace Jon Kitna, they could take Joe Thomas to solidify their offensive line, or they could take a defensive player such as Gaines Adams. Taking any of those players, besides Russell, second would be a reach. Detroit would end up taking a player not deserving of the second pick. On the plus side, at least it would not be a wide receiver.
