Lions News Reports

As you have likely heard by now, the Detroit Lions used the No. 7 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft to select OT Penei Sewell out of Oregon.

According to Lions GM Brad Holmes, Sewell was one of three players the team considered when they were on the clock at No. 7.

From Detroit Free Press:

“Going through the process we truly we got to the point where we pretty much identified three players, and he was one of those three that we would just be extremely — let’s just say, through the roof about,” Holmes said. “To be able to land him, he’s going to be an integral and impactful piece for our franchise for years to come. He’s going to be a great addition to our offensive line. He’s just a transcendent talent.”

Nation, do you have any guesses as to who the other two players were that the Lions considered taking at No. 3?
