Detroit Lions have plenty of options in NFL draft 'all about big guys'

In a draft that’s “all about big guys,” the Detroit Lions could have their pick of several interesting names with the eighth overall pick.

NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah said in a conference call on Monday that he sees Mississippi State defensive Montez Sweat, a Michigan State football transfer, going as high as No. 8 to the Lions, and that Michigan football’s Rashan Gary and Houston’s Ed Oliver also should be in consideration even though they’re not perfect scheme fits for Matt Patricia’s defense.
