Round 3a :DT Alim McNeill ( NC State) : Pick # 72 ( 2021 )

Alim McNeill is arguably the Lions best Defensive Player at this point in time. He's the only Lions DT on early downs who is an answer, not a question mark. Considering the value of McNeill for the Lions, I wouldn't be surprised if he's kept out of the remaining two pre-season games.

Alim McNeill had a historic breakout game vs. the Giants

Lions 31, Giants 18: Game # 10 (2022)

Shane Lemieux was on IR, before being activated for this game.

I offered thoughts on Lemeiux in the game preview thread:

Lions at Giants preview: Game # 10 ( 2022 )

The added weight by Lemeiux didn't help him against the Lions. He definitely looked overmatched in his first game since the opener in 2021.

C Jon Feliciano was injured in the 2nd half of the game but RG Mark Glowinski played the entire game. Giants backup RT Tyre Phillips, who started in place of the injured Evan Neal, was injured either in the 2nd or 3rd QTR of the game. Matt Peart replaced him.

The struggles of Lemeiux, coupled by the the Giants injury situation at RT, certainly adversely affected their Offense. It looked to me that the Giants Center play was better than the play of RG Mark Glowinski. It was great to see that Alim McNeill and Isaiah Buggs performed as well as they did in this game, even factoring in the Giants problematic Offensive Line situation.
