NFL Mock Draft: Post-Divisional Round shakeups

player. 50. <p>The Detroit Lions are a roller coaster. They’re cold, they’re hot, and they’re struggling to find an identity. Now to top it all off, superstar wide receiver Calvin Johnson is considering retirement this offseason?</p> <p>The Lions might want to start looking for Megatron’s replacement, or in the best case scenario, a wide receiver who can be a weapon for quarterback Matthew Stafford in however many years Johnson decides to hang around.</p> <p>Enter Ohio State wide receiver Michael Thomas, a Big Ten star familiar to the market. Thomas has a similar size and frame to stud NFL receivers like Dez Bryant of the Dallas Cowboys or Julio Jones of the Atlanta Falcons. He can go out and get a ball away from his body and can fight for catches in 50/50 situations.</p> <p>It comes at a bad time for the Lions, who probably more desperately need help in their secondary. But can any team resist a play-maker with superstar potential like Michael Thomas?</p> <p>Pretty much selecting any player on the defensive side of the ball, whether at linebacker or defensive line, could be a solid option as well.</p> <p>That being said, those can be addressed in free agency and Thomas could be Stafford’s partner of the future.</p>. WR. Ohio State. Michael Thomas. 16
