This week’s episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast focuses almost exclusively on the upcoming 2022 NFL draft. We were joined by special guests Emory Hunt of CBS Sports and the Football GamePlan for over an hour of in-depth breakdowns on scads of draft prospects.
Hunt brings a unique perspective and fresh eyes to his evaluations. He’s not afraid to have divergent opinions, and we talked through several of his more eyebrow-raising rankings:
- Nakobe Dean as his No. 4 LB
- Kaiir Elam as his No. 1 CB
- Tristan McCollom as his No. 2 strong safety
- Kaleb Eleby as QB No. 2
Hunt breaks down his positional rankings more specifically, dividing wide receivers into three separate groups and tight ends that way too. It’s a good way to learn about the different roles and to match those up with the Detroit Lions’ needs entering the draft.
The show streams live on YouTube, but is also available for download in an audio-only version from your favorite podcast provider.
