David Bailey (Texas Tech), Arvell Reese (Ohio State) and Rueben Bain Jr. (Miami) are the consensus top three edge rushers in the class and the three players Jeremiah referred to as legitimate Top 10 picks.
With the Lions currently sitting at No. 17 overall, there's a large group of players who could fit there if Holmes decides to stay put and an edge rusher ends up being the best player on his board at that spot.
That next group of players includes Sonny Styles (Ohio State), Akheem Mesidor (Miami), Keldric Faulk (Auburn), Cashius Howell (Texas A&M) and T.J. Parker (Clemson) to name a few.
"I can play all across the D-line," Faulk (6-6, 285) said Wednesday of what he thinks sets him apart from the other edge rushers in the class. "That's really what I did at Auburn. I prepared myself, as well as help from the coaches, to be able to play all four positions across the line. That's really what I think separates me.
"I'm a high motor defensive lineman. You're going to see everything be aggressive as far as the pass rush and the run game. In the run game, you're going to see blocks being shed and you're going to see a lot of TFL's (tackles for loss)."
