The Detroit Lions are in a good spot right now with their quarterback, Jared Goff. In fact, they're in what Goff believes to be his sweet spot. He's in the prime of his career and is regularly in or around the MVP conversation.

It's no secret that the Detroit Lions have kept one eye on the road and one on the quarterback situation in the NFL Drafts in recent years. Just last winter, they met with Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe at the NFL Combine and talked to a few others as well.
