- NFL Films’ Greg Cosell is considered one of the best football minds, due to the incredible amount of film that he watches. So when he breaks down the Detroit Lions 2017 draft class—like he did on DetroitLions.com—you should read it.
- SI.com’s Andy Benoit also shared some thoughts on Detroit's draft class on Twitter:
Can Jarrad Davis be the traffic director for #Lions D? That’d make Tahir Whitehead (a fast-paced, reactive player) more effective.

Imagine 2nd rounder Teez Tabor starts for #Lions as a rookie. D.J. Hayden not a quality NFL starter.

3rd round pick WR Kenny Golladay not a projected No. 1, but stylistically, what the #Lions needed: a perimeter player.
