I just saw an interesting post that provide some insight into the Lions draft strategy. After checking it out, see if you agree with us that tells you (barring any trades) the order that the Lions will select players from a position standpoint….

Fraley will bring his own style to the post, but intends to stick with a Davidson-like approach after seeing some signs of progress in 2019. The run blocking improved considerably down the stretch, while the pass blocking was tracking for a better season too until Matthew Stafford went down with a back injury. Stafford was on pace for his fewest sacks since 2013.

Frank Ragnow was one of the best success stories in a tough season for Detroit, making the move from guard to center so seamlessly that he ranked as the league’s best center for much of the year according to ProFootballFocus. He finished sixth, making him Detroit’s top-graded player relative to his position, and was second as a run blocker.

Left tackle Taylor Decker also bounced back in 2019, putting a tough opener behind him to finish 19th among all tackles according to PFF. He allowed two sacks in the opener, but just five the rest of the way.

But there are questions elsewhere along the line, most notably at right guard, where Graham Glasgow — a four-year starter — is eligible to become a free agent. Rick Wagner has struggled to live up to the big contract he signed to play right tackle, while Joe Dahl was fine in his first season at left guard.

So, the Lions appear content with the offensive line from 2019, and the core coaching strategy as well! So, it appears that the Lions draft strategy will not include taking a offensive lineman anywhere in the first 4 rounds, because you don’t draft a role player high ever!

So here’s the likely strategy

Round 1: CB JEFFREY OKUDAH

Round 2: DE TERRELL LEWIS

Round 3: DL LEKI FOTU

Round 4: WR KJ HILL

Round 5 LB SHAQUILLE QUARTERMAN and G JON RUNYAN

Round 6: LB KHALEKE HUDSON
