Trevor Sikkema, Pro Football Focus: James Pearce Jr., Edge, Tennessee
Why: Pearce had an incredibly impressive combine showing in the speed drills, recording a 1.56-second 10-yard split and a 4.47-second 40-yard dash. His arms are shorter than expected for someone with a 6-foot-5 frame, and it feels he is mostly viewed as just an outside linebacker speed type. But that is still a worthwhile draft target for a team like the Lions.
Fox Sports Staff: Donovan Ezeiruaku, Edge, Boston College
Why: Hutchinson will be coming off his injury and should be ready to go next season, but it makes his job a heck of a lot easier if there’s someone on the other side of the front, forcing offenses to make some tough decisions. Ezeiruaku, with some coaching up, will do that.
Kyle Dvorchak, NBC Sports: Landon Jackson, Edge, Arkansas
Why: Jackson is a lengthy defensive end who broke out at Arkansas after transferring from LSU. He racked up 13 sacks over his final two seasons and verified his athletic traits with a stellar 9.88 relative athletic score at the combine.
Yahoo Sports Staff: J.T. Tuimoloau, Edge, Ohio State
Why: There’s something about the pairing of Tuimoloau with Hutchinson that I like. Tuimoloau is a strong pocket pusher who is effective against the run and pass. He isn’t always the sexiest player, but his strength combined with Hutchinson’s quickness and Alim McNeill on the inside would be a nightmare in the pocket for QBs to navigate.
Kyle Crabbs, The 33rd Team: Donovan Ezeiruaku, Edge, Boston College
Why: Ezeiruaku tested very well in Indy at the Combine, has prototypical length despite being on the shorter side, and boasts a robust number of pass-rush counters.
Joseph Acosta, SB Nation: Donovan Jackson, OL, Ohio State
Why: Jackson’s rise has been amazing to see unfold. The former Buckeye started the season at guard, then kicked out to tackle when OT Josh Simmons injured his patella. He played lights out there in the playoffs against top tier pass rushers, and played his way into round one and Detroit.
Bryan Fischer, Sports Illustrated: Tyler Booker, OL, Alabama
Why: This just feels like a Dan Campbell kind of guy, between his leadership qualities to his ability to clear out a gap and then get to the next level with a vengeance. Detroit will have plenty of options to replace Zeitler, and Booker could be a Pro Bowl-caliber player available in the first round that is plug-and-play.
