Lions appear to be zeroing in on Stafford

With Jay Cutler now in Chicago, the Lions are still left looking for a quarterback. The Detriot Free Press is reporting that the Lions are increasing their focus on Matthew Stafford. Detroit owns the No. 1 pick in the draft, but without a clear-cut top choice, the direction the team will take is uncertain.
More from the Free Press:
While there is speculation the Lions could select left tackles Eugene Monroe and Jason Smith or linebacker Aaron Curry, some experts think Stafford sits atop the Lions’ draft board. At least for now.
Whether the Lions are sold on Stafford is the $30 million-in-guaranteed-money question.
