After yet another successful Senior Bowl, the Detroit Lions were able to be up and personnel with some of the draft’s top talent and took advantage. The Lions were able to gauge the players, who may have opened some eyes in the process in hopes of elevating their stock.
The players may have not only impressed the teams in attendance but also possibly a few draftniks in the process. One is Jordan Reid from ESPN, who recently released a mock draft and gave the Lions three players who could immediately contribute next year.
Reid kept with the growing trend of slotting an offensive tackle to the Jacksonville Jaguars with the first overall pick, projecting Alabama’s Evan Neal. In turn, this leaves the Lions with their choice of the top edge rushers, either Kayvon Thibodeaux or Aidan Hutchinson, with the second overall selection.
