Detroit Lions
Perfect draft pair: Florida LB Jarrad Davis (Round 1, pick 21); Michigan TE Jake Butt (Round 2, pick 53)
Brooks on Davis: With DeAndre Levy recovering after knee surgery, the Lions need someone who can occupy his role. Davis is physical, tough and instinctive. He does a great job playing multiple spots. I think he would be a nice fit in that defense. Ziggy Ansah needs someone else in that front seven who can help him make plays. Davis fits the bill.
Jeremiah on Butt: Butt could be a tremendous value pick. I think he's ahead of schedule in his rehab from the knee injury he suffered in the Orange Bowl. I think he could be ready for the start of the season. He can block and help Detroit in the passing game.
