Lions current Depth chart
Swift as the lead back with Williams and Johnson playing roles is a solid backfield. Another young playmaker who can return kicks would be a nice addition. A training camp battle for the FB spot is on tap.
2021 Draftable prospects
Analysis:
Good backs at the top of the draft with depth in the late rounds. Williams is my favorite back. He runs hard and has speed. Harris has all the game. Big and good hands. Etienne is a D'Andre Swift clone. Quick back who can find seams with great acceleration. Backs like Stevenson, Sermon offer inside running and short yard ability later in the draft. Gainwell is the diamond in the rough here. Offers speed and open field ability. Mitchell is another player with upside. Fast without a lot of mileage.
Lions outlook:
I would not draft a back until late or sign one as an UDFA. There is depth in the class and the Lions do not have an immediate need at the position.
Guys I like:
Mid rounds;
Ken Gainwell Memphis
Elijah Mitchell Louisiana
Late rounds or UDFA
Chris Evans Michigan
Stevie Scott Indiana
Khalil Herbert Va Tech
