1. Hutchinson visits Detroit
Detroit brought defensive end Aidan Hutchinson in as one of their 30 pre-draft visits to meet with coaches and talk ball. Hutchinson said it was one of the smoothest visits he went on, and the Lions must have felt similarly because just a short time later Hutchinson would be returning to the facility as a member of the team.

4. Paschal stands out
