Mel Kiper has Detroit Lions selecting defense in his Mock Draft 3.0

The Detroit Lions have been active in free agency and with a solid NFL Draft, there is no reason to believe they cannot be greatly improved from their 6-10 record from a year ago.

But, which direction will the Lions go in the 2019 NFL Draft?

Will GM Bob Quinn select a player to complement Matthew Stafford and offense or will he continue to build the defense?

Time will tell, but according to Mel Kiper Jr., the Lions will grab a defensive lineman with the No. 8 pick.

In his Mock Draft 3.0, Kiper has the Lions selecting DE Montez Sweat out of Mississippi State.

Here is what Kiper had to say about the pick.

I really liked Sweat’s 2018 film, as he had 11.5 sacks and was a terror off the edge for the Bulldogs. And after running a 4.41 40-yard dash at 260 pounds at the combine, he has likely locked in a spot in the top 10. There is a fit in Detroit, which just added big-money signing Trey Flowers as a replacement for Ezekiel Ansah but needs help on the other side. Sweat could be an impact pass-rusher in the tough NFC North.

Some notable players Kiper still had on the board when the Lions select include Rashan Gary, T.J. Hockenson, D.K. Metcalf, Ed Oliver, and Brian Burns.

Nation, would you be happy if this scenario plays out?
