NFL draft 2021 recap of Day 3: Rounds 4-7 finished
Day 3 of the NFL draft 2021 kicks off Saturday at noon from Cleveland, featuring Rounds 4-7. We have live updates from the draft, a pick tracker and analysis below.
The Detroit Lions entered the day with just two picks: A fourth-rounder at No. 112 overall (seventh pick in Round 4) and fifth-rounder at No. 153 overall (ninth pick in Round 5). But they made a trade for a pick early in the fourth round, picking up a seventh-rounder in exchange for No. 153 and a fourth next year.

Their needs are clear: They should be desperate for a wide receiver, after seeing their top-3 wideouts leave this offseason (Kenny Golladay to New York Giants, Marvin Jones to Jacksonville Jaguars, Danny Amendola remains unsigned).
Here are the Lions' picks through the first two days:
Oregon OT Penei Sewell (Round 1), Washington DT Levi Onwuzurike (Round 2), North Carolina State DT Alim McNeill (Round 3), Syrcause CB Ifeatu Melifonwu (Round 3).
