Detroit Lions could draft Ohio State left tackle Mike Adams, according to NFL ...

ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions have three players on its offensive line who are at least 30-years old, which is why NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock believes that unit could be addressed in this year's draft.
Lions left tackle Jeff Backus is 34 (unrestricted free agent) and recovering from bicep surgery, center Dominic Raiola is 33, while guard Stephen Peterman is 30.
Mayock believes Stanford left tackle Jonathan Martin, Ohio State left tackle Mike Adams or Stanford guard David DeCastro should be on Detroit's radar as potential first round picks heading into April's NFL Draft.
"I think (Matt) Kalil (Southern California) and (Riley) Reiff will be gone," Mayock said. "I think Cordy Glenn (Georgia) is a right tackle. I think Martin and Adams are the two logical ones. Obviously, Detroit is (picking) 23rd and Jonathan Martin, to me, is a prototypical left tackle. He's gifted athletically. He needs to get a little bit stronger. A lot of the things I said about Kalil you can say about him. He needs to get a little bit stronger, but can protect the quarterback.
