Who should the Lions be targeting in the NFL Draft?

From my mock draft: The Lions need a franchise left tackle badly, but they have proven that they will take the best available player regardless of need. Left tackle would help them and Matt Stafford majorly, but they are going to take best available player. Nebraska DT Ndamukong Suh is the best available player, by far, and it’s not like the Lions don’t need any help at that position. Despite the surprisingly good play of Sammie Lee Hill at defensive tackle, they are still ranked 21st against the run, although they have looked better over the past few weeks. However, left tackle is more of an immediate need for them. I hope, if they don’t take one in the first round, that they take one in the 2nd round, for their own good. Jeff Backus is not the guy you want protecting Matt Stafford’s blindside during his development. But, you can’t really blame the Lions for taking the best available player, especially when he’s a player that is as dominant at his position as Ndamukong Suh. Only 1 defensive tackle has gone in the top three since 1998, but Suh is that good.
