The Detroit Lions have made it apparent they were thrilled to land Penei Sewell in the first round of the draft last month, largely because they didn't expect the Oregon offensive tackle to still be on the board at pick No. 7.
General manager Brad Holmes hasn't said much about the team's contingency scenarios. Prior to the draft, he noted the team was comfortable with a cluster of players at their slot. And after taking Sewell, he acknowledged they were eyeing three players, including Sewell. But as for specifics, Holmes declined to say "out of respect for the process," which has become one of the go-to lines for the first-year general manager.
