The Lions currently hold the 28th pick in the NFL Draft. While the premier talent may be off the board by the time they pick, there are plenty of options that could suit Detroit's needs.

We're talking about the draft later than usual, but much sooner than anyone expected this year, now that we know where the Lions will pick in Round 1.

The Detroit Lions have a brutal offseason ahead of them. In addition to likely losing both coordinators to head coaching jobs, the Lions could lose multiple key contributors to new teams.

As a result, the defensive line is an area the Lions could elect to target during the NFL Draft in April. In Daniel Jeremiah's latest mock draft, which was released Saturday morning, the Lions indeed picked an edge rusher with the No. 28 overall pick.

The Detroit Lions could use some reinforcements after depth issues helped derail a promising season. These Michigan Wolverines could help.
