I thought it would be interesting if everyone make a draft prediction for the lions if there are no draft day trades.

1-DT Ndamukong Suh
2-RB Jahvid Best
3-CB Patrick Cox
4-TE Jimmy Graham
7-FB Jon Conner
7-S Kyle McCarthy
7-LB/DE Danny Batten

1. Ndamukong Suh DT
2. Jahvid Best RB
3. Vladimir Ducasse OT
4. Jerome Murphy CB
5. John Conner FB
6. Austen Lane DE
7. Micah Johnson


Rounds 6 and 7 are doubtful, since i dont think theyll be available that late, but one can hope, right?

More doubtful becuase we do not have a 6...or a 5.

Thanks for pointing that out...

Forgot all about that.

#2) Russell Okung (LT)
#34) Tyson Alualu (DT)
#66) Patrick Cox (CB)
#100) Joique Bell (RB)
#213) John Connor (FB)
#214) Mickey Shuler (TE)
#255) Jacob Cutrera (MLB)

Figured I'd go with Okung at #2 just for variety's sake

#2) DT Ndamukong Suh
#34) CB Patrick Robinson
#66) RB Toby Gerhart
#100) SS Darrell Stuckey
#213) FB Jameson Konz
#214) WR Trindon Holliday
#255) LB/DE Arthur Moats

Pretty good, but too much offense... jk

How about this..

2 - Gerald McCoy
34 Patrick Robinson
66 - Greg Hardy
100 Ben Tate
213, 214, 255 BPA

2- Ndamukong Suh DT Nebraska 6-4 307
34- Jahvid Best RB California 5-10 199
66- Reshad Jones SS Georgia 6-1 214
100- Mike Johnson OG Alabama 6-5 312
213- Trindon Holliday WR LSU 5-05 166
214- Keaton Kristick OLB Oregon State 6-3 234
255- Ryan D'Imperio ILB Rutgers 6-2 241

Subject to change.

I like that one!

The complete absence of a CB worries me greatly.

Me too, but after the 3rd round it's slim picken's and projects. That's not to say the Lions don't have there eye on somebody they like. I would have liked to put Kareem Jackson at 34, he fits there system and is possibly good value there, but if were going BPA I had to opt for Best. I think he's 1st round talent. Just my opinion.

McCoy over Suh? I don't think the Lions move in that direction.
I would take a pass on Greg Hardy in the third.....but if he lasts until the fourth round then I wouldn't mind seeing the Lions take a flyer on him.

I don't think Tate makes it to round four. Maybe switch Tate and Hardy?

Works for me. I'd rather have Tate than Hardy to tell the truth. Pas rush from DT is a giant factor IMO. No basis for it, but my gut says McCoy will be a killer down the road. Small edge there, maybe I'm just a contrarian..

#2) DT Ndamukong Suh
#34) CB Kareem Jackson
#66) RB Ben Tate
#100) OT Kyle Calloway
#213) LB Roddrick Muckelroy
#214) CB Joshua Moore
#255) DE Cameron Sheffield

Without question I think Best is 1st round talent.
