NFL executives weigh in on Detroit Lions’ 1st, 2nd-round picks

Thanks to a war room video, we already know the Buffalo Bills think of the Detroit Lions’ selection of T.J. Hockenson with the eighth overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. But what do other league executives think of Detroit’s haul last weekend?

ESPN’s Mike Sando pulled opinions from various coaches, executives and draft evaluators around the league to evaluate the picks of all 32 teams.

And it may surprise some to see that they were actually very complimentary towards Detroit’s first two selections.

One NFL executive was apparently enamored with Hockenson and viewed him as high-and-above the rest of the tight end draft class.
