Completing the quarterback contingent at the
draft, set for April 25-27, is Drake Maye of North Carolina.
Williams (Southern California), Daniels (LSU) and Maye should
have a short wait to hear their names called, with all three
expected to be taken within the first handful of picks.
Quarterback JJ McCarthy (Michigan), who has risen up the draft
boards this spring and is in the running for a top-10 pick,
won't be on hand.
Four wide receivers also will be present in Detroit. Marvin
Harrison Jr. (Ohio State), Malik Nabers (LSU) and Rome Odunze
(Washington) all likely will be selected in the top half of the
first round, with Brian Thomas Jr. (LSU) also in the mix.
The other offensive player confirmed for Detroit is offensive
tackle J.C. Latham (Alabama).
On the defensive side of the ball, edge rushers Darius Robinson
(Missouri), Laiatu Latu (UCLA) and Dallas Turner (Alabama) have
said they will be there. Robinson grew up in suburban Detroit.
Cornerbacks Terrion Arnold (Alabama) and Quinyon Mitchell
(Toledo) also accepted the NFL's invitations.
The Chicago Bears have the No. 1 pick in the draft and are
expected to select Williams, likely beginning a run on
quarterbacks with the Washington Commanders and New England
Patriots scheduled to follow the Bears.
