Yes, Detroit has Matthew Stafford but no, that hasn’t stopped pre-draft speculation.

The owners of the third pick aren’t exactly a great fit for a Burrow-type though. Look how Stafford has been squandered, never mind past greats like Calvin Johnson.

These Lions have just three playoff appearances since 2000 and no wins since 1991. Fifteen losing seasons since 2001 and eight head coaches. The latest of the latter is yet another attempt on a Bill Belichick understudy with Matt Patricia, who managed to regress the team from six to three wins.
