Most everyone had their ideas of what the Lions were going to do in this draft down to a science. They were going to go out and get Jeff Okudah and then pad the defensive line in the second round. When Iowa’s A.J. Epenesa was sitting right there when the Lions went on the clock with the 35th pick, it made perfect sense that they'd go that way after missing out on the Chase Young sweepstakes.
Instead, the Lions nabbed the best running back in the draft to many’s surprise.
