As we continue our tour through our first edition mock
drafts of the NFC North, our final stop is the Detroit Lions. This team is
looking for corner backs, wide receivers, and offensive lineman.
Round 1: Ryan Ramczyk/OT/Wisconsin- The Lions need to fix
this offensive line. Bad. The departure of Riley Rieff makes the situation even
more dire. Ryan Ramczyk, this year's feature offensive lineman from Wisconsin,
will go a long way to fixing that.
Round 2: Dion Dawkins/OG/Temple- Yes, the Lions offensive
line is that bad that they need to spend their first two draft choices on it.
Dawkins, the big interior lineman from Temple, will start day one.
Round 3: Cameron Sutton/CB/Tennessee- Next up for the Lions
is the fix this terrible secondary. Sutton is yet another potential ace cover
man in a draft that is loaded with them. He is a little undersized, but a tough
customer.
Round 4: Isaiah Ford/WR/Virginia Tech- The Lions could also
use another target for Matthew Stafford out of this draft. Ford isn't the most
physically gifted wide receiver, but he works hard underneath coverage and
could be outstanding in this big play offensive at moving the chains.
Round 5: Corn Elder/CB/Miami(FL)- The Lions really do need
cornerbacks, bad. They have been getting torched by Aaron Rodgers for far too
long. Elder could be outstanding on special teams and as a dime corner in the
slot, as long has he has help over the top.
Round 6A: Matthew Dayes/RB/North Carolina State- At 5'9”,
205 pounds, Dayes is a tough bowling ball between the tackles, very much like
Maurice Jones-Drew used to be for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Dayes could get alot of carries early, and who know from there.
Round 6B: Eric Saubert/TE/Drake- This small school project
from Drake University, Eric Saubert, has prototypical size for an NFL tight
end, and could be a great compliment to Eric Ebron in this offense.
Round 7: Jeremiah Ledbetter/DT/DE/Arkansas- Late in this
draft like this, you are looking for bench players and guys who can be good rotational
players. Ledbetter can play inside on passing downs our outside on rushing
downs. He’s a good guy off the bench to have.
