Day 1 of the 2021 NFL Draft is in the books and the Detroit Lions used the No. 7 overall pick to select the best offensive lineman on the board in Penei Sewell.
Following the selection of Sewell, Lions GM Brad Holmes met with the media and he talked about his strategy for Day 2 of the draft, which begins on Friday night.
From Detroit Free Press:
“Let’s just get the best football player,” he said. “I think you guys probably say that’s GM speak. But no, it’s really … we’re not going to anchor ourselves or pigeonhole ourselves into, ‘we’ve got to get this position or that position.’
“And look, if it’s another offensive lineman and it’s a high-impact player, then it’s an offensive lineman. If it’s a defensive back, it’s a defensive back. So whoever’s the best football player for us to make sure we can get the most competitive team as we can through our efforts, then that’s where we’re going to go.”
Nation, who do you think the Lions should target in Rounds 2 and 3?
