Now that we’ve had time to catch our breath and maybe some sleep, we were able to fully take in the Lions’ 2020 draft.
For all accounts and purposes, most analysts liked what general manager Bob Quinn might’ve had one of his more successful drafts filling in the major holes that were sinking this team. Some may believe he might’ve reached a few picks, but all in all, he was able to land great value with a majority of the selections.
He drafted Jeff Okudah, Julian Okwara, John Penisini, and Jashon Cornell to shore the weakness on defense. For the offense, he got D’Andre Swift, Jonah Jackson, Logan Stenberg, Quintez Cephus, and Jason Huntley.
On the surface, it looks like the Lions are putting a premium on improving the run game with the selection of two running backs and two guards. Even though the picks were later, they got a few players that should help the defensive line and pass rush.
Make your voice heard! How would you grade the 2020 Lions draft class?
