Jared Goff has silenced many of his critics by playing the best football of his career over the past six weeks to lead the Detroit Lions into playoff contention, but Goff's hot streak has not dimmed the prospects of the Lions taking a quarterback high in next spring's draft, according to one prominent analyst.
ESPN analyst Todd McShay released his first mock draft of the season Tuesday and had the Lions taking Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud with the No. 4 pick.
Alabama quarterback Bryce Young went No. 1 overall to the Houston Texans in McShay's mock, followed by Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter to the Seattle Seahawks and Alabama pass rusher Will Anderson to the Chicago Bears.
