21. player. 50. Sayre: Ndamukong Suh (rightfully) bolted Detroit for greener pastures in Miami, although he may be seeing more of the sandy beaches than the green pastures. Jordan Phillips is the type of guy who won’t come in and be able to replace Suh, but he is a big, athletic player that fills a major need and gives the Lions someone who can clog space and take up blockers. This trade also got the Lions Gio Bernard, a speed back for their offense and it didn’t cost them their 1st rounder in 2015.. DT. Oklahoma. Jordan Phillips

player. 55. George: The Steelers are in need of help on the offensive line, especially on the right side. Expect Humphries to either compete for a starting position at right tackle or be slotted in at guard and have someone else give RT a shot. Humphries has good size/length and can be an effective run blocker.. OT. Florida. D.J. Humphries. 22

Kevin Johnson. 23. player. 50. Sayre: Johnson is a pretty underrated player right now, but would provide the Lions with a nice, young bookend to emerging star Darius Slay at the cornerback position. It’s been said that you can never have enough talent at the CB spots, and the Lions cash in on that theory here by taking a guy who has the potential to be an immediate impact and starter as a rookie.. CB. Wake Forest

24. player. 32. George: The Cardinals have essentially no rushing attack, especially after releasing defensive end Darnell Dockett. Kendricks is a smart, confident outside linebacker who produces a ton of tackles and flashed his ability to get to the quarterback late in the season.. LB. UCLA. Eric Kendricks
