2021 Detroit Lions Draft Preview LB

 

Lions Depth chart

The worst Linebacking group in the NFL in 2020. Adding Anzalone is a temporary fix. Collins should fit well in the new scheme. JRM will have a shot at playing time

Draftable Players

Good depth with game chargers at the top. Collins, JOK and Parsons have All-Pro potential. Cox is great in coverage. Surratt, Davis, Browning could sneak into the top 40. 

Lions analysis:

I would like to see at least two picks in this draft on the position. They need speed and ability to play in space.
