Tuesday open thread: Chase Young or Jeff Okudah for Detroit at No. 3?

It isn’t the likely scenario, but that doesn’t mean it can’t happen.

The Detroit Lions are poised to make some pretty important decisions in this upcoming NFL Draft, and with the third overall pick, a truly franchise-changing selection hangs in the balance.

It certainly seems longer than just six seasons ago, but the Lions have yet to field a pass rush even remotely replicating the success of 2014’s defense, spearheaded by names like Ndamukong Suh, Ezekiel Ansah, and DeAndre Levy.

Since then, Detroit also tried its fair share of experiments at cornerback opposite of Darius Slay.
