The Detroit Lions’ draft class will have more impact in the 2020 season than any other team’s group of rookies, ESPN’s Kevin Seifert says.
“If nothing else, the Lions are going to get volume out of this draft,” Seifert says. Four picks are likely Day 1 starters: cornerback Jeff Okudah, running back D'Andre Swift, edge Julian Okwara and guard Jonah Jackson. Three others could play big early roles. Okudah might be the only potential superstar, but there were a bunch of NFL-ready players in this class.”
The Lions’ selections were Okudah (Round 1), Swift (Round 2), Okwara (Round 3), Jackson (Round 3), guard Logan Stenberg (Round 4), receiver Quintez Cephus (Round 5), running back Jason Huntley (Round 5), defensive tackle John Penisini (Round 6) and defensive tackle Jashon Cornell (Round 7).
