No one really expects the Lions to draft a running back in the first round, but if there's one guy who justifies coming off the board at No. 16, it's Elliot. He has ideal size and an elite skill set that make him three-down back capable of rushing for more than 1,000 yards as a rookie.
The 2015 Heisman Trophy winner, Henry is a load at 242 pounds and can be the bulldozing, north-south runner the Lions need to rotate with Abdullah. You could easily justify spending a second-round pick on the Alabama product.
