Round # 1 Pick # 24
These are the top guys in the draft. These guys should begone in the top 15.
This group I would consider drafting in the Round # 2
Powers-Johnson is probably not making into the mid second round. Some interesting lineman should be available. McKinstry I feel has to play inside in the NFL.
Detroit Lions need a outside corner to play this season. The problem with this crop is the guys who can run won't tackle and the guys who will tackle can't run. Complete players are at a premium. I get nervous when guys run in the 4.5s. Jeff Okudah ran 4.48 and was too slow.
A third safety would be a in play in third round or later. Someone who can add depth and play the special teams.
Corner
Safety
Detroit Lions could use a interior lineman and and edge player. Interior line should be more of a 3 technique while the edge should be a speed rusher. The linebacker room could use a young guy who can play on the special teams
Edge
Lions could draft a receiver to replace Josh Reynolds. A pretty deep class with quality available throughout the draft.
I did not spend a of of time on the quarterbacks nor running backs. I do not need think the Lions need to select either.
QB
Spencer Rattler South Carolina
I saw a lot of him in 2022. I thought he had a strong arm and could make off schedule plays. His team was not very good this year but he has talent.
