Detroit Lions 7-Round Mock Draft: Senior Bowl Week
Third Round
The Lions are getting a look at Tolbert down in Mobile, and it seems he hasn’t disappointed.
Tolbert had 82 catches for 1,474 yards and eight touchdowns during his final season at South Alabama. Any concern about going against Sun Belt competition should be set aside as he goes up against NFL-caliber peers at the Senior Bowl, and against Tennessee last season he had a big game (seven catches for 143 yards and a touchdown).
Goodrich’s Clemson teammate, Andrew Booth, is in line to be a first-round pick. But to dismiss Goodrich (42 tackles, nine passes defensed last season) would be a mistake.

Taking Goodrich earlier than here is possible for Detroit, but he fell to this projected compensatory pick as arguably the best player available who also filled a need,
Fourth Round
The Lions currently don’t have a fourth round pick in the 2022 draft.
