2021 NFL Draft Class & UDFAs
Updated: May 6, 2021
So, the 2021 NFL Draft is done.
We were live throughout, racking up over 22 hours of live content, and about 30 different guests joined us along the way. Firstly, thank you to the boys for putting so much time into the show, firstly the prep work needed and then the actual time to do it - which as you are all aware is not UK-friendly! Secondly to those guests, they were all to-a-man, excellent value and we're releasing the videos of the interviews individually so you don't have to dig through to find them! Finally, to the viewers watched us, thank you. We really appreciate your support, especially those who got involved and asked questions!
Picks
Detroit came into the Draft with 6 picks, but left with 7 players after the trade up in the 4th delivered us a 7th in 2021, in return for our 2021 5th and 2022 4th.
The members of the Detroit draft class are:
Pick 7 - Penei Sewell, OT, Oregon.
Pick 41 - Levi Onwuzurike, DT, Washington
Pick 72 - Alim McNeill, DT, NC State
Pick 101 - Ifeatu Melifonwu, CB, Syracuse
Pick 112 - Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR, USC
Pick 113 - Derrick Barnes, LB, Purdue
Pick 257 - Jermar Jefferson, RB, Oregon State.
Very quickly after the draft was over, the Lions also signed the following undrafted free agents:
Rakeem Boyd, RB, Arkansas
Dedrick Mills, RB, Nebraska
Jonathan Adams Jr, WR, Arkansas
Javon McKinley, WR, Notre Dame
Sage Surratt, WR, Wake Forest

Brock Wright, TE, Notre Dame
Drake Jackson, C, Kentucky
Tommy Kraemer, G, Notre Dame
D'Angelo Amos, S, Virginia
Tavante Beckett, LB, Marshall
Jerry Jacobs, CB, Arkansas
AJ Parker, CB, Kansas State
In the following weeks will we do deep dives into each of the picks, including hopefully some tape breakdown and anaylsis, and profiles on the UDFAs, so you can get to know your new Detroit Lions players as well as possible.
