Lions Expected To Take Edge Rusher At No. 2
3 years agoNFL Network's Steve Wyche expects the Detroit Lions to take one of the edge rushers -- Aidan Hutchinson or Travon Walker -- with the No. 2 overall pick in the first round of the NFL draft on Thursday night. Head coach Brad Holmes said the team is "looking" at the quarterback position as well, but Wyche gets the sense that the Lions are intent on getting tougher along the lines of scrimmage before finding an eventual incumbent for Jared Goff. Detroit also holds the final pick of the first round. Hutchinson and Walker are both in play for the Jacksonville Jaguars at No. 1 overall as well, so the Lions seem likely to go with the edge rusher that the Jaguars pass on.
