The Lions currently have the No. 17 overall pick in the first round and have eight picks total, including one each in Rounds 2 and 4, two each in the fifth and sixth and one in the seventh.
The list is headlined by Heisman Trophy winner and national champion quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who is the consensus No. 1 pick of the Las Vegas Raiders by draft analysts.
The Combine is an important week in the offseason schedule for all 32 teams, and usually the entire Lions contingent of coaches, front office personnel and medical staff are in Indianapolis for the event.
It’s the first time teams get real measurements on the underclassmen, and the medicals on all 319 players are critical in the evaluation process. Then comes the testing, highlighted every year by the 40-yard dash.
This draft class is strong at edge rusher, interior defensive line and along the offensive line, areas where the Lions could look to bolster in the NFL Draft depending on how free agency goes.
