20man: I'll start with cornerback Jeff Okudah out of Ohio State. The Lions are one of three defenses to record a league-low seven interceptions in 2019. Slay is scheduled to become a free agent following the 2020 season. Okudah has terrific length (6-1, 200 pounds), athleticism and the skill to fit Detroit's defensive style. He's clearly the best cornerback in this draft.
Auburn defensive tackle Derrick Brown is another one. The Lions could lose some bodies in the middle to free agency and potentially retirement, and Da'Shawn Hand has battled injuries in both his first two seasons. Brown is big pocket mover and playmaker from the interior.
Clemson hybrid Isaiah Simmons (6-4, 230) is an interesting one for me. I sometimes worry about players who don't have a defined position, but watching him on tape, he was a playmaker rushing the quarterback, playing an off-the-ball linebacker role and even stepping back in coverage at safety. Some work has to be done on him, but something tells me a creative defensive mind can help him be an impact player right away.
I'll also throw Alabama wide receiver Jerry Jeudy in here, if the Lions decide to go that route. He'd be an immediate impact player benefitting from not having to carry the load right away in Detroit playing alongside Golladay and Jones. That's a perfect situation for a young receiver to excel in.
