Experts like Detroit Lions' NFL draft pick Josh Paschal; 'a 10-year player in this league'

He's overcome cancer, so the NFL likely isn't any type of adversity he can't handle.

The Detroit Lions took Kentucky defensive end Josh Paschal with their second-round pick at No. 46 overall and NFL Network's Charles Davis called him one of his favorite players in the draft.

"He has the heavy hands, (can work) inside-outside... but (what I like most) is the character and what he's going to bring to that locker room, he said. "He's going to be a 10-year player in this league and he's going to play well."
