Looking around the mock draft landscape for the Detroit Lions these days, it seems to be an extension of the Swiss Family Robinson. Two players with that surname dominate the current projections.
In a special edition of the Detroit Lions Podcast, I dove in a little deeper on the Robinsons, Darius from Missouri and Demeioun (aka Chop) from Penn State. They are very different styles and archetypes of EDGE players, and each will hold their own appeal to the Lions–and Lions fans.
Both Darius and Chop are coming off impressive NFL Scouting Combine performances that make them viable candidates for the No. 29 overall pick. Both could be gone by the time the Lions pick, too.
