Detroit Lions Draft Results

21. Tim Willams OLB/DE Alabama

53. Kevin King CB Washington

85. Vincent Taylor DT OK St
 
New England selects:

Jordan Leggett, TE, Clemson


The 6'6" TE should create a lot of issues for opposing defenses in the Patriots' oft used double TE formation. Blocking needs work but NE will use him more a mismatch against opposing teams' safeties and LBs
 
With their 3rd round pick, the Miami Dolphins select:



View media item 2412854



Daeshon Hall, DE, Texas A&M



The Miami Dolphins won't have Cam Wake forever and need some depth, youth, rotation and stoutness when it comes to stopping the run. Daeshon can step in and do that now while working with one of the best in the game to develop as a true pass rusher. He also has the size to kick in next to Suh in sub rush/wide 9 rush packages to rush the passer. This guy already has a ton of talent and Side, while he can back up and work on his craft... the sky is the limit.



Has experience at wide-9, 5-technique and as an outside linebacker. Frame filled out at a rapid rate over last few seasons at A&M. Coaches believe he can add and sustain even more muscle. Has length and average quickness to dart into gaps and breach the flow of the play. Has tools to become better edge setter with more strength. One year of defensive line play makes him moldable for NFL coaches. Has decent bend-and-rip rush move. Has shown ability to get skinny and wedge between double-team blocks. Flexible upper body along with coordinated work between hands and feet suggest future improvements as interior rusher. Effort player who hustles his way into tackles.

Possesses the physical traits, versatility and effort to become an intriguing Day 2 selection, but teams might have to wait on Hall as he is still learning to play with a hand on the ground and needs to continue adding mass to his frame. Hall is nothing special as an edge rusher but has the talent to become an interesting interior rusher as a 3-4 defensive end. If he has enough ruggedness to handle full-time work in the trenches, he could become an eventual starter. The arrow is pointed up, but overdrafting the traits could prove to be a mistake.
