2015 Detroit Lions Mock Draft updated

The purpose of this mock is not to predict what the Lions are going to do but what I would do in this draft. I would trade back into the top of the 2nd round to gain a third or fourth but I will go with this scenario:

Draft Pick 1 # 23 overall

OG Cameron Erving 6054 313 5.15 30 30.5 904 4.63 7.48

27 starts at left tackle in 2012,13
moved to Center in during 2014

I took LaEl Collins off my draft board because of the murder investigation. He has yet to report to police. Peat likely will not be there. Erving comes in a plays left guard and backs up at center.


Others to consider
Andrus Peat OT Stanford
DJ Humphries OT Florida
Malcolm Brown DT Texas
Kevin Johnson CB Wake Forest

Round # 2 Pick # 54

Ronald Darby CB FSU 5105 193 4.38 15 reps 41.5" Vj 1009 Broad 4.14 20 6.94 L
6.7 Impact rotational player at slot corner

41 games 23 starts 79 tackles 2 int 3 FF 18 PBU

Good player at slot. He can tackle and break on the ball in small areas. Maybe able to move outside at times but slot is where he is best.

AJ Cann OG South Carolina
Donovan Smith OT PSU
Philip Dorsett WR Miami

Bonus Round # 4 in a trade down

6.2 Rotational player with starting potential 2nd or 3rd year.
