The Detroit Lions are considering DT Tyler Onyedim in the NFL Draft despite a low positional need. Onyedim has a low medical concern level and previously met with the Lions at the NFL Combine.
Mentioned in this story
The Lions may be looking for more DT help in the NFL Draft, even though that position scored a relatively low need in my Lions defensive positional needs rankings. The expected return to full production of Alim McNeill from his 2024 ACL should help massively. Tyler Onyedim is a DT prospect who formally met with the Lions at the NFL Combine, and carries a low medical concern level.
Here is the excerpt from my medical report on Tyler Onyedim:

A 100% availability rate in his final four years of college along with an absence of any reported significant injuries makes for a very clean prospect. While his age is a tick higher than ideal, he would be a nice, low-risk pick for the Lions who have already shown interest.
Onyedim collected 5.5 sacks and 20.5 TFL in college.
