Mel Kiper Jr. breaks down Detroit Lions’ options with 7th overall pick - Pride Of Detroit
Kiper sees a lot of great value at the wide receiver position around the seventh pick in the draft, whether it be Alabama’s Jaylen Waddle or LSU’s Ja’Marr Chase. But Kiper Jr. suggests the Lions explore trade options, which Rothstein says may “make the most sense for Detroit.”
If a tempting quarterback is still on the board, like Ohio Stat’s Justin Fields or North Dakota State’s Trey Lance, Detroit’s phone could be ringing off the hook, and that could lead to getting a load of picks plus a solid defensive player later in the draft.
“Maybe you get an offer from, say, New England to move from 15 to seven, what you do is drop down from seven to 15, get some extra choices and then be in a position where it’s a little bit more palatable to look at a pass-rusher like Jaelan Phillips from Miami or a Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah,” Kiper said.
