Predicting Detroit Lions GM Brad Holmes' draft day behavior is a losing proposition. He trades up, he trades down, he spends first rounders on guys at devalued positions like Inside Linebacker and Running Back. After last year's team was strafed with major injuries, though, the D Line and pass rush in particular are clearly in need of reinforcement. Free agency was pretty quiet around Detroit, so it appears that reinforcement will likely come via the draft.
Nic Scourton of Texas A&M has the gritty vibe of a Lions guy, and may well be available at Pick 28. He has the strength and anchor to hold the edge and collapse the pocket as the Lions require, along with a devastating spin move and refined hand attack to give Aiden Hutchinson the sidekick he has lacked. His high motor and football IQ are sure to endear him to the high-octane football guys led by Dan Campbell.

LIONS HISTORICAL DRAFT PICKS
Reach/Value (R/V) Explained
The difference between where a player is selected in the NFL draft versus where the player was listed on the final Drafttek Big Board for the season in question.Example: A player who was listed at #50 on the Big Board and was selected at #35 will be a "Reach" of -15. Alternately, a player listed at #35 on the Big Board who was selected at #50 is a +15 "Value".
Simply put: a positive number is a Value pick, a negative number is a Reach.
