Detroit Lions Mock Draft

Please note: This is not a prediction. This is what I would do if I were the GM. Obviously, the avaliability of these players is subject to other teams. That is why I have a variety of players that I like at each pick.

I will not try to predict trades. We do not have a 5th round pick.
1st Round

Here are my Top 4:

1. Sammy Watkins WR Clemson
2. Jadevon Clowney DE South Carolina
3. Khalil Mack DE Buffalo
4. Greg Robinson OT Auburn

I assume they are all gone

My Pick is

Justin GIlbert CB Oklahoma State

I Like this guy. Long with speed. Plays the ball like a receiver. The Lions CB had 2 interceptions in 2013. Slay, Greenwood, Bentley and Green are all unproven injury prone players.

Next on the board:
Aaron Donald DT Pitt

If I cannot trade the pick
Eric Ebron TE UNC
Kyle Fuller CB VA Tech

Not on the board:
Taylor Lewan OT Michigan the Titus Young of Lineman
Mike Evans WR Texas A&M Reminds me of big Mike Williams
Anthony Barr DE UCLA Good athlete not much of a playmaker.

2nd Round

DE Jeremiah Attaochu

Need a flame thrower. This guy can bend and has explosive arms. My favorite player in the draft.

Next on the board:
Allen Robinson WR PSU Big body outside guy. Tempting
Jordan Mathews WR Vanderbilt Solid ten year WR
Jimmie Ward S NIU Versatile. Like this guy
Kyle Van Noy OLB BYU Good 3 down backer but not a flame thrower.

3rd Round

WR Martavis Bryant Clemson

Height weight speed. A little raw and streaky.

Next on the board:

Davonte Adams WR Fresno State
Weston Richburg OC CSU
Marcus Martin OC USC
CJ Fiedrowicz TE Iowa
Keith McGill CB Utah

4th Round

C Gabe Ikard Oklahoma

QB Aaron Murray Georgia

S Jerome Couplin S William & Mary

Also on the board
DT Shamar Stephen UCONN
DE Kareem Martin UNC
LB Khari Fortt Cal
CB Dexter McDougle Maryland
DE Larry Webster Bloomsburg
WR Bennie Fowler MSU
CB Brian Dixon NW Missouri State

6th Round
