From Jay Glazer of FoxSports.com:

The first pick of the NFL draft is no longer a mystery.

The Lions have agreed to contract terms with Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford, FOXSports.com has learned.

It is a six-year, $78 million deal, with $41.7 million guaranteed.

The two sides have been working on a deal diligently for the past 72 hours.

The team had been negotiating with Stafford and Baylor offensive tackle Jason Smith before ultimately deciding on Stafford as the target.

Stafford has been consistently mentioned as a possible No. 1 overall pick since he announced after the season that he would be leaving Athens a year early to enter the draft.
