CBS RJ White (51. RB Ronald Jones: The Lions should be in a great spot to get a running back in the second round;  82.  S Jessie Bates):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/day-2-nfl-mock-draft-patriots-take-mason-rudolph-cowboys-find-wr-and-every-pick-for-rounds-2-and-3/

Walterfootball Walt (51.  Kerryon Johnson:  Ameer Abdullah has failed, so the Lions will be searching for a running back in the next couple of rounds. Kerryon Johnson seems like a great fit for Matthew Stafford.; 82. DE Breeland Speaks: The Lions need as much defensive line help as possible, so here's another player for their troubled front.):  http://walterfootball.com/draft2018redraft_2.php

Draft Scout Dane Brugler (51.  TE Mike Gesicki: It won't take long for Gesicki to shoot to the top of the tight end depth chart in Detroit.):  https://www.themaven.net/nfldraftscout/mocks/brugler-second-round-mock-draft-o8bE-f7LL0mZLT5tbTX6GQ/?full=1

SN Mock Draft (51.  DT Da'Shawn Hand:  After drafting Alabama defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson a few years ago, the Lions go back to the well and draft a different, more versatile Crimson Tide defensive lineman.  82.  DT Maurice Hurst):  http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/news/nfl-mock-draft-2018-second-third-round-2-3-picks-best-players-available/m4n7fu8nsucb19ubs1j31oxi8

USA Today (51.  S Justin Reid:  New Detroit coach Matt Patricia has become accustomed to operating with a deep, diverse group of safeties. Reid would upgrade this secondary, likely to quickly earn a starting role alongside Glover Quin.):   https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/draft/2018/04/27/round-2-nfl-mock-draft-new-england-patriots-qb-mason-rudolph/557151002

Walterfootball Charlie (51.  S Jessie Bates:  The Lions could consider a safety. Bates' intelligence and makeup fit who Bob Quinn has drafted for Detroit.  Bates (6-1, 200) had a respectable 2017 season with 79 tackles, five passes broken up and an interception. His 2016 was more impressive with five interceptions, 100 tackles and four passes broken up. For the NFL, the redshirt sophomore could use more strength and weight in his frame to help him tackle.  82.  Kerryon Johnson: Lions signed LeGarrette Blount, but he's not a long-term starter. Here's a potential feature back for Detroit.  The 5-foot-11, 213-pound Johnson carried Auburn to wins over Alabama and Georgia to put his draft stock on the map late in the 2017 season. Versus both defenses loaded with NFL talent, Johnson showed real quickness with good cutting ability, vision, and decisive downhill running. He also played banged up, illustrating his toughness to withstand a heavy work load and some hard hits. In 2017, Johnson averaged 4.9 yards per carry for 1,391 yards with 18 touchdowns. He also had 24 receptions for 194 yards and two scores. Johnson ran for 895 yards and 11 scores in 2016. Johnson looks like a three-down starter in the NFL who should be able to hurt defenses as a runner and a receiver.):  http://walterfootball.com/draft2018charlieredraft_2.php
