Podcast
The Detroit Lions biggest need is talent.
Nebraska's Ndamukong Suh seems to have a lot of it.
Detroit drafted the game-changing Suh with the No. 2 pick overall Thursday night. The Heisman Trophy finalist is the first defensive tackle to be drafted among the top two picks since Oakland took Darrell Russell in 1997.
The 6-foot-4, 307-pound Suh was the first defensive player to win The Associated Press College Football Player of the Year award since its inception in 1998. He had 4 1/2 sacks against Texas in the Big 12 title game and finished with 12 sacks for the season.
