The 49ers traded three (3) first round picks and a 3rd round pick just to get up to pick #3.

Think about that.

FWIW, I was kinda iffy on Parsons to Detroit. I put him there in part because of his 40 time at his Pro Day, and Detroit has a need at LB.

I could easily see them going Devonta Smith.

My take a month before the draft is if the Lions remain in the pick # 7 spot, the selection will be of the following players:

1. WR Ja'Marr Chase
2. WR De'Vonta Smith
3. WR Jaylen Waddle
4. TE Kyle Pitts ( if the projection is primarily as a WR )
5. T Penei Sewell ( he would start at RT or RG as a rookie. ).
6. LB Micah Parsons

Because of everything that has transpired since the Lions acquired Jared Goff from the LA Rams as part of the Matthew Stafford trade, I am now of the opinion that at most, there's only a 10 % chance the Lions will draft a QB with the pick # 7 draft resources. That includes trading up or down from pick # 7.

In all of the many years that the Lions have picked in the top 10, I can't recall a draft that as many as 6 players seem like realistic possibilities as the selection. I'm hoping Ja'Marr Chase falls to # 7 for the Lions to at least have the option of taking him.

Between 2 and 5 QBs are going to be drafted with the top 6 picks. With at least 3 very likely. With 4 more likely than not.

Other than the Jaguars drafting QB Trevor Lawrence with pick # 1, the 49ers drafting a QB with pick # 3 ( or if they trade with the Jets to move up to pick # 2 ), and the Bengals staying at # 5 ( taking a T or WR ( Kyle Pitts included ), the top part of the draft can go in many different directions.
