There are two players in particular, who have stood out as potential draft picks for the Lions, during Senior Bowl practices.
One is Cam Thomas, a 325-pound defensive tackle from North Carolina. He was projected as a third-round pick, but could move up to second. Moves well for his size and is very strong. Has been punking offensive linemen in the drills. Fits an obvious need.
Another is Kyle Wilson, a cornerback from Boise State. Wilson has always been projected as a Top 5 corner in this draft, but will he fall from the first round? He is a fiesty player, very athletic and a good returnman. There are some questions about his height. He is perfect for the Lions.
Also, Dan LeFevour, the QB from Central Michigan, has been very good in the practice sessions. Doesn't seem to be having problems with the 3- and 5-step drops after running the spread at CMU. And he has had very good zip on his long out routes to the sidelines.
