Detroit Lions Mock Draft Database Says the Pick is Wide Open

The Lions season is over and with a potential work stoppage on the horizon, the only thing we know for sure is that the NFL Draft will be held in April. Sure, it is early and a lot will change but that is part of the fun!

This will be the last look at the Detroit Lions mock draft database before the deadline for underclassmen to declare. January 15 is the date to keep in mind as everyone will be officially in or out. The trend of a heavy lean towards defense continues with a few mock drafters electing to pick an offensive tackle as the Lions’ selection.

A few new names get added to the database with this update. Aaron Williams, a cornerback from the University of Texas, enters the picture as a rogue pick from the draft site Bring the House while Colorado cornerback Jimmy Smith was picked out of a hat by NE Patriots Draft. Texas A&M linebacker Von Miller, Oregon State defensive tackle Stephen Paea and Wisconsin defensive end J.J. Watt also appear for the first time.

Check out the full database of 60 mock drafts:
