2022 Detroit Lions Draft Preview Defensive Line

 

Top 15 Interior Prospects


Lions draft fits:

Wyatt is my favorite player here. Lions coached him at the Senior Bowl. If he somehow fell # 32 it would be great. Winfrey is a explosive 3 technique. Check the Oklahoma State tape on him. Eric Johnson , another Senior Bowl player, would be perfect at the top of the third. Tisdale is a workout warrior. 

Day # 1
Devonte Wyatt (#32)

Day # 2
Perrion Winfrey
Eric Johnson


Top 15 Defensive End Prospects



Lions draft fits


One of the most important stats is pass rush win rate. It has an excellent correlation to NFL pass rush win rate. 

This from Pro Football Focus

Pass rush win rates from Austin Gayle

Karlaftis 27%
Hutch 25%
Enagbare 25%
Mr, Thibs 24%
Ebiketie 22%
Jackson 22%
Mafe %16
Pascal 15%
Johnson 13%

Travon Walker 10%



I would select Hutch over Mr. Thibs if both were available. Hutch is high motor player and a plus athlete. My comp for him is Kyle VandenBosch. Mr. Thibs has an incredible first step and long arms. It would come down to the interview with them. Johnson played for the Lions at the Senior Bowl. He was unblockable. Walker is the rare over 250 lbs under 4.65 and under 7 cone club. He is a more of project at his point. Plenty to choose from on day 2. Ebiketie is not tall but has long arms. Thomas is sleeper, good length and win rate. Jackson might be better in the 3-4.
