The Detroit Lions added to their defensive line with the 28th pick in Thursday’s first round by selecting Ohio State defensive tackle Tyleik Williams.
Now the attention turns to Friday’s second and third rounds where the Lions currently pick 28th in the second round (60th overall) and 38th in the third round (No. 102).
“The good thing about it is there’s still some good players that are worth (it) if I wake up and have that feeling and Dan (Campbell) has a similar feeling. There’s a chance but we’ll see how it goes,” Lions general manager Brad Holmes said of the possibility of moving up and being aggressive in the second and third rounds Friday.
Here’s a look at 10 players who could interest the Lions on Day 2 of the draft:
1. EDGE JT Tuimoloau, Ohio State
A big, athletic edge rusher who was a first-team All-Big Ten selection after ranking third in the FBS with 21.5 tackles for loss and was tied for fifth with 12.5 sacks. Could Williams and Tuimoloau team up in Detroit too?
2. IOL Tate Ratledge, Georgia
Ratledge is a self-described ‘dirtbag’ as a player and that certainly fits what the Detroit Lions are all about upfront along their offensive line. He was a four-year starter for the Bulldogs with 37 starts at right guard.
