The Detroit Lions need a bunch of help this offseason, both in building depth and finding quality starters in some spots. And this is before the Lions have official word on the future of Calvin Johnson.
But general manager Bob Quinn said his draft strategy would be a blend of best player available and need. In Todd McShay's second mock draft, he hit on both for the Lions in taking inside linebacker Reggie Ragland from Alabama.
Based on who was left on the board, combined with Detroit likely needing a speedy linebacker to pair with DeAndre Levy, Ragland makes complete sense at No.
