    With the 213th overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions select North Carolina State DE Willie Young. Willie has excellent height and enough athleticism to consider him a versatile player who may fit as a defensive end in a 4-3 front or outside backer in a 3-4 scheme. Willie has little experience as a coverage defender but shows enough balance, speed and agility to develop in this area. He needs added bulk and technique work to develop into a consistent contributor at the next level but appears to have the intelligence, effort and raw physical attributes to be successful.
