Default With the first pick in the draft, the Lions draft...

With the Lions having two draft picks, I think they follow exactly what the Falcons did last season and take the franchise QB #1 and then the LT with their 2nd first round pick. So now the decision is Stafford or Bradford, if only one declares, then there is no decision.

While picking a quarterback may be the glamour pick, the Lions don't have a line to protect one or make holes for running backs. Their greatest needs are left OT and almost any position on defense.
