Monday open thread: Which prospect should the Lions avoid in the draft?

So many players, so few picks.

The Detroit Lions are (likely) entering a rebuild phase, and that means the coming years will be focused on stockpiling assets, both draft picks and young talent. The Lions have the valuable seventh overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, and there are plenty of directions they could go.

With multiple highly rated quarterbacks, the Lions could look for the heir apparent for Matthew Stafford—if Jared Goff is nothing more than a stopgap. Equally stacked this draft year is the wide receiver position, and with Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones, and Danny Amendola all free agents, the Lions could address that position early and often.
