Though technically we only had an extra week of football. We are several weeks behind were we would usually be talking about the draft. My thoughts so far by going through mock drafts.
Cornerback
Dre is a very good talent, but he's not a top 15 talent. Flat out Talent wise there are 2 guys and then the other two are late first round talents. Janoris Jenkins and Morris Claiborne have top ten talent without a doubt in my mind. Talent doesn't always mean success. Jenkins will drop due to off the field issues. Straight Talent I would give the nod to Claiborne ahead of Jenkins. Jenkins will probably be the 4th CB taken for good reasons though. There are too many teams that need a CB, so I do think they will be reaching for a couple. It's really tough to say who will drop because of that. If the Lions got any one of these guys at their pick it would a good value, but I don't believe any kind of steal unless for some reason it was Claiborne. I'd be willing to give up a first and second round pick for Claiborne but nothing more.
Linebacker
There are a ton of talented linebackers in this draft. This is probably the least need they are in too especially inside backers. 3-4 outside backers will always be in demand, they're really not for us which is nice. I think the quality of backers is so extremely high that we could live without Tulloch. It's really a crap shoot where any of the MLBs will go.
