#10 Detroit Lions: Marqise Lee, WR USC
Rory’s Take: I have been all over the place with the Lions and this time around I am going wide receiver. This offense is by far too dependent on Megatron and if they add another talented receiver they could be more balanced and eventually sit on leads to allow their defensive line to rush the passer.
Chase’s Take: Rory has had Lee here for awhile now and with Ebron shockingly going to the Raiders this pick makes more sense and with Nate Burleson moving on the Lions do need a longterm second wide receiver to pair with the best active pass catcher in the game in Calvin Johnson.
