NFL Mock Draft 1

Draft Tek Mock Draft (12-9-15) (11. Detroit Lions: OT Taylor Decker: The Lions would love to target Laremy Tunsil or Ronnie Stanley here, but they're off the board. Trading up for either would be fine by me, but Detroit's new GM might have other plans. I've watched a good number of Buckeye games against ranked opponents, and the thing that stands out with Decker is you never hear his number called by the Ref. The 6'7", 315-pound Decker is a proto LT, and has accepted an invitation to the Senior Bowl. He'll put on display his excellent length, range, and ability to make adjustments to the blitz. He plays a little too high in run blocking, but Scouts love his prospects moving forward. Here's a video of the 2015 Michigan game. Watch No. 68 as he literally consumes defenders in pass blocking, and opens up some nice running lanes, as well.) (42. CB KeiVarae Russell, 74. OT Brandon Shell and 106. OLB Terrence Smith):   http://www.drafttek.com/2016-NFL-Mock-Draft-Round1.asp

Walterfootball Mock Draft (12-17-15) (6. Detroit Lions - OT Ronnie Staley: Everyone thought the Lions were going to beat the Rams. Matthew Stafford never had the chance because he was constantly under siege. There's no question that upgrading the offensive line has to be a priority for Detroit this upcoming offseason, and the front office can start by finding an upgrade across from Riley Reiff, who has been overmatched this year.) (36. RB Derrick Henry):   http://walterfootball.com/draft2016.php

CBS' Brugler's Mock Draft (12-21-15) (6. Detroit Lions: DeForest Buckner, DE, Oregon: The Lions need to continue and build through the trenches on both sides of the ball. A polarizing player, Buckner would be a nice fit opposite Ziggy Ansah and give Detroit a pair of young bookends.):   http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/nfl-draft-scout/25421454/nfl-mock-draft-titans-ravens-go-tackle-to-protect-mariota-flacco

CBS' Rang's Mock Draft (12-21-15) (6. Detroit Lions - Ronnie Stanley, OT, Notre Dame: The Lions need help on both sides of the line of scrimmage and with the top two defensive linemen off the board and a legitimate left tackle in Stanley available, the choice could be an easy one. Former first-round pick Riley Reiff lacks Stanley's length and athleticism and might fare better if flipped to right tackle.):   http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/mock-draft/expert/rob-rang

PFF Mock Draft 1.0 (12-21-15) (7. Detroit Lions: Robert Nkemdiche, DT, Ole Miss: Nkemdiche will have some off-field questions to answer if he enters the draft, but what his performance on the field was very impressive this season. struggled against the run in 2014, but he improved greatly this season to +11.3 to go with a +25.3 pass rush grade that ranked fifth among interior defensive linemen. He’ll be a good addition to a Detroit defensive line that lacks depth.):   https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2015/12/20/draft-joey-bosa-jared-goff-go-1-2-in-mock-draft-1-0/
