The Detroit Free Press considers Oklahoma LT Lane Johnson a "dark horse" candidate for the No. 5 pick.

We're not sure there's anything "dark horse" about it. The Lions have a massive need at left tackle, and both Luke Joeckel and Eric Fisher could already be off the board at No. 5. Other tackle-needy clubs may have to jump the Lions if they want to ensure landing one of the draft's top blindside protectors.
