If Detroit Lions get a top-five pick, what position should they take?

2019 NFL Draft Order.
Tankathon.com

LSU CB Greedy Williams (sitting out bowl game): Williams is one of the best cornerbacks in the draft and a potential top-five pick. He has unusual size (6 feet 3), excellent play-making ability ? he led the SEC in interceptions in 2017 ? and would be the perfect complement to Darius Slay in the Lions? inconsistent secondary.

Kentucky OLB/DE Josh Allen (Citrus Bowl vs. Penn State, Jan. 1): Ziggy Ansah?s time in Detroit is likely done, and the Lions need an edge rusher more than anything. Allen is big and long at 6 feet 5 and 260 pounds, and he lives in the backfield as both a pass rusher and run defender. The biggest question the Lions will have to answer is whether he can play right end, or if he?d be Devon Kennard?s backup at strong-side linebacker.

If the Lions lose to either Minnesota or Green Bay, it'll mean the team's worst record since 2012 (4-12) and give the team their 11th season of double-digit losses since 2000 From 1930-1999, the Lions only had 12 double-digit loss seasons (although to be fair not every year had a 16-game schedule).

Matt Ryan is the next-fastest QB to 38,000 passing yards, needing 143 games to do so.

Lions WR Andy Jones recorded his 1st career TD, capping a 9-play, 75-yard drive. QB Matthew Stafford is 5-5 for 65 yards and a TD to open the game, good for a perfect QB rating of 158.3

Golladay's career-high 115 receiving yards are the most by a @Lions player in the first half of a game since Calvin Johnson recorded 131 yards on September 8, 2014 vs. NYG.

This is @Lions WR Kenny Golladay @kgxix's 10th game of the season with 50+ receiving yards. This is the most 50+ yard games through Week 15 of a season by a Lions player since Calvin Johnson had 10 such games in the 2015 season.

Lions WR @kgxix Kenny Golladay eclipsed 1,000 yards on the season, the first 1,000-yard campaign of his career. He joins Calvin Johnson, Golden Tate and Marvin Jones Jr. as the only players to have 1,000+ yards with QB Matthew Stafford.
Through his first 25 career games, @Lions WR @kgxix Golladay has totaled 92 receptions for 1,482 yards (16.1 avg.) and 8 TDs.

The only other players in #Lions history to top 90+ rec. and 1,480 yds. in their first 25 games are Megatron @calvinjohnsonjr (2007-08) & Cloyce Box (1950-53).

Lions LB Jarrad Davis becomes the 1 of 3 @Lions LBs, and the 1st since Broderick Thomas in 1994, to finish a season with 85+ tackles and 5.0+ sacks.
Davis is the first one to reach these numbers by Week 15 of a single season.

By throwing a TD pass Sunday, @Lions QB Matthew Stafford has 235 TD passes in his career, tying Drew Brees for the 5th-most TD passes through a player's first 10 seasons in NFL history.

- Damon Harrison Sr. (@snacks) in 2018
- Sheldon Richardson (@SdotRich91) in 2013

Lions LB @DevonKennard (7.0) and DE @RomeoND45 Okwara (6.5) are the first LB/DL combo to each have 6.0+ sacks for the @Lions since the 1995 season, when LB Antonio London, DT Henry Thomas and DE Tracy Scroggins each did so.
