Neville Gallimore, DT, Oklahoma
The Lions know Gallimore well after coaching him for the Senior Bowl week as part of the North roster. It’s easy to see why the defensive staff would covet the versatile Gallimore, too.
At his best as a shaded NT, Gallimore can also play the upfield 3T role. The Canadian needs some work at economizing his movement and keeping his center of gravity lower; he’s not an anchor inside but rather an attack dog. Playing next to Danny Shelton in Detroit, Gallimore would be able to unleash his impressive athleticism and seek-and-destroy mentality
Of all the players listed, Gallimore would be considered the biggest reach. I believe the Lions will value him more than other teams.
Why no offensive linemen, you might ask? Positional value is the primary answer. If the Lions placed this high of an emphasis on guard play, they wouldn’t have let Graham Glasgow walk. It’s also too high to consider any of the interior linemen that project to be available. This is not a good guard/center draft class.
