Post-Combine Mock Draft Roundup
Post combine, many draft analysts released the latest edition of their mock drafts.
Let’s explore who experts believe Detroit is selecting in this year's NFL draft.
It is interesting to note that zero of the mock drafts below have Detroit selecting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
CB Jeff Okudah, Ohio State
Over 60 percent of analysts have mocked Okudah to the Lions in their latest mock drafts.
Okudah is currently being mocked by the following: the Detroit Free Press (Dave Birkett), NFL.com (Daniel Jeremiah), The Draft Network (Trevor Sikkema), Bleacher Report (Matt Miller), LA Times (Sam Farmer), Houston Chronicle (John McClain), ESPN (Todd McShay), Touchdown Wire (Mark Schofield), Washington Post (John Clayton), The Detroit News (Justin Rogers), Yahoo Sports (Eric Edholm), CBS Sports (Chris Trapasso), Draft Wire (Luke Easterling), The Draft Network (Carter Donnick), CBS Sports (Josh Edwards), Rotoworld (Hayden Winks) and The Draft Network (Kyle Crabbs).
DE Chase Young, Ohio State
While there are fewer mock drafts that have Detroit selecting Young compared to Okudah, there are still some analysts that believe Young could fall to Detroit.
Young is currently being mocked by MLive (Kyle Meinke), PFF (Mike Renner), SB Nation (Dan Kadar), NFL.com (Chad Reuter) and Real GM (Jeff Risdon).
LB Isaiah Simmons, Clemson
Simmons impressed many with his combine workout.
Despite his stellar performance, though, not many analysts believe Detroit is selecting him in this year's draft.
Simmons is currently being mocked by the Sporting News (Vinnie Iyer), The Athletic (Dane Brugler) and CBS Sports (Will Brinson).
DT Derrick Brown, Auburn
By all accounts, Brown did not do himself any favors with his combine workout.
Despite rebounding with a solid workout at his pro day, he has all but disappeared from the latest round of mock drafts.
Brown is being mocked to Detroit by only the USA Today (Nate Davis).
