The Detroit Lions may or may not be interested in taking a quarterback with the No. 7 overall pick (I do not think they should or will) but that does not mean you should be surprised if they do not end up using a late-round pick on the position.
According to a report from Eric Edholm, the Lions have met with Northwestern QB Peyton Ramsey.
Other NFL teams that have met with Northwestern QB Peyton Ramsey —Bengals, Bucs, Lions.
Could be late-round pick in the Chase Daniel/Kevin Hogan mold with strong intangibles and smarts

It is important to remember that the Lions do not currently have a pick beyond round five and taking Ramsey before that would be a mistake.
Ramsey could end up being an ok game-manager type QB in the NFL but he is not accurate and does not throw the deep ball well enough to ever be a regular starter.
Personally, I do not believe Ramsey gets drafted at all and that the Lions could have an opportunity to sign him as a UDFA when the draft concludes.
