The NFL offseason can be very long, but the hype for the season starts to build up again once the NFL Draft rolls around. Luckily for us NFL fans, that day is about to be upon us, as the first round will finally be taking place this Thursday.

It’s anybody guess and there’s far from a consensus, but DSN is here to let you know what the experts are saying. It’s entirely possible the Lions could take somebody that nobody is predicting, but this should give us an idea of who the team is targeting.
