Florida Gators defensive end Derrick Harvey (http://www.nfl.com/draft/profiles/derrick-harvey?id=762) is the Detroit Lions' top priority, heading into the NFL Draft next week, said Tom Kowalski, but the question is whether Harvey will last until their 15th pick.
Regardless, the team is going to have to find players who can start or contribute significantly with their first three picks. And that narrows the list of positions to defensive end, middle linebacker, offensive tackle and running back.
"I think one of the wild cards in this thing is going to be Jonathan Stewart, the running back from Oregon (http://www.nfl.com/draft/profiles/jonathan-stewart?id=949)," Killer said while filling in for Jamie Samuelsen on WDFN-AM (1130).
"I don't know if anyone really knows – and I don't know; I confess – I don't know what the Lions think of Jonathan Stewart right now. I know at one time they had him rated higher than Rashard Mendenhall (http://www.nfl.com/draft/profiles/jonathan-stewart?id=949), and a lot of people had the Lions taking Mendenhall. If Stewart and Mendenhall are there, Stewart, they think, is the better running back."
