Draft

With Sam Bradford pretty much a lock to go No. 1 overall, the biggest 2010 NFL Draft debate now – aside from the Tim Tebow hysterics – is if the Lions should select Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh or Oklahoma State left tackle Russell Okung with the No. 2 pick on April 22. Detroit’s draft…
