The Detroit Lions will be looking to protect their new QB Jared Goff in the upcoming season.

In the 2021 draft, there are certainly plenty of options for offensive line help.

One of these prospects appears to have the interest of the Lions according to Justin Melo.

According to Melo, the Lions recently had a draft meeting with Nebraska offensive lineman Brenden Jaimes.

#Nebraska OL Brenden Jaimes made a school record 40 consecutive starts. Versatile OL that can play inside/outside.

Jaimes has recently met virtually with #Packers, #Lions, #Patriots & #Cowboys to name a few.

Jaimes met with every team in person at the Senior Bowl.

James started 40 games in his career which was the 2nd most by an offensive lineman in school history.

His 40 consecutive starts was also a school record.

Here’s what PFF had to say about Jaimes:

“Left tackle Brenden Jaimes was the only Cornhusker offensive lineman with any high hopes of good play this season and that’s exactly been the case so far. Jaimes hasn’t been nearly as good as what he was last year in pass protection when he earned an 88.1 grade in that facet, but he has still been good relative to his counterparts. The left tackle has recorded a 75.4 pass-block grade this year and allowed the fifth-lowest pressure rate among Big Ten tackles at 1.9%. As for everyone else on Nebraska’s offensive line, they have allowed over twice the pressure rate of Jaimes and are all under a 60.0 pass-block grade for the year.”

He was also an All-Big Ten selection in 2020.

He could be a mid-round option for the Lions.

At 6-6 and 300 pounds, he is known to lose his balance and play too upright at times.

He is projected as a 7th round pick or even be an undrafted free agent.
