NFL Draft Preview: Defensive Lineman ( 2019 )
Great job by Bob Quinn with the trade down with the Falcons from Pick # 111 to Pick # 117. Getting a much better 6th Round pick than the one the Lions traded to the Vikings in Round 3 is impressive to say the least. Usually, the difference in trade compensation when a trade is made a Round later is less in value.
The only two players that interested me that went from pick # 111 to pick # 116 were G Dru Samia and S Amani Hooker. I doubt the Lions were going to take another Safety so soon after drafting Will Harris with pick # 81 in Round 3. I rather have Austin Bryant and pick # 114 in Round 6 than Samia. The two players that the Lions passed up before picking again that would have been at tempting are C-G Michael Jordan and S Deionte Thompson. Much like with Hooker, I doubt Thompson was a serious consideration with pick # 117.
I give the Austin Bryant pick by itself in the range of a B + to a B. With the trade compensation, it's at least an A-.
Austin Bryant has long arm, speed, quickness, and good movement skills. He definitely has a huge amount of toughness and desire. He's definitely a team oriented player.
With added weight room strength, using better leverage, developing more pass rush moves using his hands, and further experience to improve his playing instincts, Bryant will likely become a winning starter DE. His experience playing on the 2018 season National Champion can only help the Lions.
