Lions Mock Draft Database: Senior Bowl Will Help Set Draft Board
By Zac Snyder
The SideLion Report Lions mock draft database is inching towards 75 mock drafts from all over the internet. Previous revisions to the database have shown that there really isn’t any consensus on who might become a Detroit Lions at pick 13.
The player evaluation process that will take place over the next couple months will help sort that out. That process got underway this week with various activities at the Senior Bowl where some of the nation’s finest college seniors got to face each other in practice with the game coming up tomorrow afternoon. A number of names have trickled out of practice that could see themselves shoot up the draft boards. ESPN’s Todd McShay had favorable things to say about Texas A&M linebacker Von Miller and Colorado offensive tackle Nate Solder, two guys that play at positions of need for the Lions.
Nate Solder has definitely become a popular name at pick 13 with the mock drafts that have the Lions selecting an offensive tackle. Prognosticators that peg the Lions for a linebacker still think Akeem Ayers is the likely man while Brandon Harris is becoming a popular pick at cornerback. Here is the updated database:
