Beyond those three, there is a huge variance in opinion. The next tier of talent has multiple options that could fall to, or past, the Lions. KCW looked through several websites to get a varied opinion about the Top Ten players. NFL Draft Scout, NFL Draft Geek, and Drafttek were all looked at.

Here are the most frequently named Top Ten athletes after Nick Bosa, Quinnen Williams, and Josh Allen.

Ed Oliver, Defensive tackle, Houston
Clelin Ferrell, Edge/ defensive end, Clemson
Devin White, Inside Linebacker, LSU
Andraez “Greedy” Williams, Cornerback, LSU
Rashan Gary, Defensive End, Michigan
TJ Hockenson, Tight End, Iowa
Byron Murphy, Cornerback, Washington
Jonah Williams, Offensive Tackle, Alabama
Greg Little, Offensive Tackle, Ole Miss
Dwayne Haskins, Quarterback, Ohio St.

By now, if you’ve read any amount of draft talk, you’ve likely heard of all thirteen players. There are also ebbing and flowing opinions of some of these players, as well. This list is fluid, especially when the NFL Combine hasn’t happened yet, and there are as many opinions about the tape of each man as there are social media accounts.

Don’t be surprised if several prospects are dropped out of First-round consideration, altogether. Those events could clarify a muddled situation for the scouting department.
