Notes: Lions were prepared to take a WR if Penei Sewell was off the board at pick No. 7

The Detroit Lions are enamored with OT Penei Sewell. Look no further than the plethora of articles we have covering this fact in our full coverage of the Lions 2021 draft class. General manager Brad Holmes twice tried to trade up for Sewell because he didn’t think he would still be available at pick No. 7 overall.

But what would the Lions have done if Sewell was off the board? Well, coach Dan Campbell may have given us an indicator of the Lions' plans when he appeared on the Pardon My Take podcast.
