The Detroit Lions have a major need at wide receiver, that’s common knowledge. In his conference call with the media, NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah revealed several wideout options for the Lions with their picks at No. 32 and No. 34 in the 2022 NFL draft.
Jeremiah was asked about the Jacksonville Jaguars potentially taking a wide receiver at No. 33 overall, the first pick of the second round. However, with the Lions holding the picks on either side of Jacksonville, his answer certainly offers some insight into what Detroit can do at No. 32 or No. 34 in addressing the wideout position.
“Well, we see receivers that are first-round guys fall out of the first round every year, and part of it’s just because we have the sheer numbers,” Jeremiah responded. “But if you look at the wideouts that have been taken in the second round over the last handful of years, you’re going to see a ton of studs from — just look at Ole Miss, from D.K. Metcalf, A.J. Brown, Elijah Moore, those three wide receivers from one school, Terry McLaurin, on and on and on and on. We can go through Deebo Samuel. Every year we see guys with big grades that end up falling into the second round just because of the sheer number of wideouts that we have.”
