This coming Thursday, the 2021 NFL Draft will begin and by the end of the night, we will know exactly what the Detroit Lions decided to do with their No. 7 overall pick.
Early Monday morning, Peter King released his final 2021 NFL Mock Draft and as you can see below, he believes OT Penei Sewell will be the Lions’ selection. It is interesting to not that King believes the Lions would pass on both Justin Fields and Trey Lance if they are still on the board.
From Peter King:
First line out of rookie GM Brad Holmes’ mouth if it falls this way: No way we thought Sewell would be there at seven. Tyler Decker is solid on the left side for Detroit but Tyrell Crosby, PFF’s 66th-rated tackle last year, seems like a place-holder on the right side. No question in my mind Holmes hopes the Patriots (15) will want to pay a ransom to move from 15 to 7 and pick their QB of the future, and the way New England’s uncharacteristic offseason has gone, you can’t eliminate that as a possibility. But if the Lions stay, one of the top tackles or DeVonta Smith seems the most logical way to go . . . unless the Chris Spielman influence reverberates through the building and the best linebacker in the draft, Micah Parsons, has the Lions smitten.
Nation, would you be satisfied if the draft played out this way for the Lions?
