2021 Detroit Lions Draft Preview Defensive Ends

 

Lions Current Depth Chart


How this position will be deployed is not yet known. The Okwara brothers seem to best standing up. Flowers is a good player but always hurt. Time for Bryant to show if he can play. 

Draftable Players


Good depth in this draft. 4 or 5 should go between #10-#30 in the draft. Good value reigns on Day # 2. If Lions are looking for pure speed rushers Ojulari, Owen and Perkins fit that role. Paye is a complete player that can rush from multiple positions. Phillips is a freak with an injury history. Basham should be a solid pro for years. Cam Sample is a guy that has upside. 

Lions analysis:

Hard to predict with the change in scheme. Do they look for speed rushers on more of the hand in the dirt ends? This draft has both. Interesting to see how this develops.
