Now that the NFL Draft is behind us, it is time to look forward to the 2021 regular season and what the Detroit Lions 53-man roster will look like.

I think they will keep one or both of these guys: Nick Williams and John Penisi. The article has Julian Okwara listed on two positions so there is room for one of these at least. Penisi played well and should get a good look as players often really improve after their rookie year.
