With how much we’ve seen of Aidan Hutchinson and Jameson Williams recently, it’s easy for the players Detroit rounded out their draft class with to fade into the background.
James Mitchell, Malcolm Rodriguez, James Houston, and Chase Lucas were the four players the Lions selected on Day 3 of the 2022 NFL Draft; each at a different position, but all of them with a good-to-great chance of making Detroit’s 53-man roster in August.
Considering these players all occupy different spots on the field, none of them are in real competition with one another for playing time, but nonetheless, when you take into account the depth at their respective positions and their ability to contribute on special teams, the projections get a little more clear.
