It’s starting to look inevitable that the Detroit Lions will have an extremely high draft pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. In fact, the Lions are guaranteed to be picking in the top 10, regardless of what happens in Week 17. Detroit can, at best, finish 6-10 on the season, and while there are plenty of other teams that can finish with a record the same or worse than that, the Lions’ fairly easy strength of schedule guarantees they’ll finish no lower than 10th in the draft order.
So that means it’s time to start seriously thinking about the draft, and none of the top targets or off limits at this point.
