Some call it the Detroit Lions Super Bowl. Haters say it's the closest they'll ever get to one.

The NFL Draft kicks off Thursday night in Chicago and the Lions have the 16th pick in the draft.

In years past, it was pretty clear which player, or at the very least the position, the Lions will select.

With the new GM Bob Quinn running the show, no one really knows the player or position he is leaning towards drafting.

But we can still guess. Below are the picks the national media has made for the Detroit Lions.
