16. Detroit Lions: Darron Lee, linebacker, Ohio State
Lev says: I thought long and hard about Michigan State OT Jack Conklin here. But most reports suggest he’s a right tackle, and what the Lions really need is someone who can play on the left side. So I went with the supremely athletic Lee, who might be Ryan Shazier 2.0. Adding Lee might necessitate some shuffling within Detroit’s LB corps, but his speed – 4.47 in the 40! – and range will make it worthwhile. Another position to consider: defensive line.
