Detroit Lions, NFL draft (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)
By this point a year ago, Detroit Lions fans had a pretty clear sense of which direction the team would go with the third overall pick.
While the pipe dream for many was that Washington would pass on Chase Young (they didn’t), nearly every mock draft of note slated the Lions to end up taking Jeff Okudah.
There was little surprise or suspense when the night of the virtual Draft rolled around and Okudah indeed heard his name called as the Lions’ top pick.
