This is one is from Pro Football Focus
This draft I got one of my guys in Barton. Kneeland will play in the DE rotation. McMillian is solid outside receiver. Pritchett is developmental CB with tools. Hampton is NFL special teams player right now. Jefferson gives some upside at DT. Westover is move TE/FB guy.
This one is from the Pro Football Network
This one I get JPJ. He can play guard or center. Kneeland at DE. Jenkins is a steal in the 3rd. Stiggers played in the CFL last season and ran well at his pro day. Pritchett is developmental guy. Hampton and Magee for special ..read more

These are the top guys in the draft. These guys should begone in the top 15.
This group I would consider drafting at # 29 for the Lions
My first pick of this group would DeJean. Followed by Barton. DeJean adds size and speed outside. Barton could start at guard or Center down the line. Fautanu is a guard while Guyton can play either position. Latu is medical risk. Robinson gives you a true speed rusher. Arnold is scary because he is a little slow.
This group I would consider drafting in the Round # 2
Powrs-Johnson is probably not making into the mid second round. some inter ..read more

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.

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

Lions could draft a receiver to replace Josh Reynolds. A pretty deep class with quality available throughout the draft.
Guys I Like:
Adonai Mitchell Texas 6022 205
Xavier Legette South Carolina 6010 221
Jalen McMillan Washington 6010 197
Tight End
Lions might want to bring in a guy to challenge James Mitchell or H-back to replace Jason Cabinda.
A third day selection would make the most sense ..read more

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
Guys I Like:
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.
RB
This class has some guys that can be part of the rotation. Brooks is interesting coming off the ACL injury. I like BEnson the best. HE has some speed and power. Not very shifty.  ..read more

Overall:
Lions need to develop players for the future. Decker, Zeitler, Skipper are over 30 on the last year of their contract. Glasgow is over 30. Both interior line and tackle makes sense throughout the draft.
Interior Line
Centers
Guards
Guys I like:
1st round
Graham Barton OG Duke 6053 311 33" arms 22 years old
Started at left tackle the last three years (34 games). Arm length moves him in side where he can play center or guard. He started 5 games as a freshman at center. Gives me Frank Ragnow vibes. Not quite the athlete but a tough, strong competitor. I would draft him at #2 ..read more
