Day 2 Mock Draft

NFL.com Zierlein (41. CB Aaron Robinson:  The Lions need to find help quickly in their secondary. Robinson provides an athletic inside/outside option.  72. WR D'Wayne Eskridge.  101. LB Chazz Surratt):  https://www.nfl.com/news/2021-nfl-draft-day-2-mock-buccaneers-snag-quarterback-kyle-trask-in-second-round

CBS Trapasso (41. WR Elijah Moore:  The Lions need to get some more bodies into their receiver room, and Moore is a special slot talent.  72. DE Osa Odighizuwa:  Odighizuwa is a leverage monster on the interior. He'll create pressure from the inside for Detroit.  101. RB Keith Gainwell:  Gainwell gives the Lions a gadget option for their offense.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2021-day-2-nfl-mock-draft-kyle-trask-lands-in-nfc-east-panthers-pick-left-tackle-for-sam-darnold/

Walter Football (41. CB Aaron Robinson:  The Lions have to improve every level of their defense, including their cornerbacks.  Aaron Robinson is a big corner (6-1, 193) who tackles well.   72. QB Davis MillsThe Lions will give Jared Goff a chance, but they could also be in the market for an answer to the position in Rounds 3-5. 101. DT Tyler Shelvin:  The Lions can use the pick they acquired from the Rams to fix their woeful run defense. Another lineman makes sense.):  https://walterfootball.com/draft2021redraft_2.php

Walter Football Charlie (41. WR Elijah Moore:  Detroit needs more young wide receiver talent. Here's a speed receiver for Jared Goff.  Moore put together a productive 2020 season, catching 86 passes for 1,193 yards and eight touchdowns. He showed improvement over his junior (67-850-6) and sophomore (36-398-2) seasons. Some team sources said they graded Moore in the mid-rounds of the 2021 NFL Draft. The 5-foot-9, 185-pounder could be a slot receiver in the NFL.   72. S Richie Grant:  The Lions could use an addition at safety. BGrant (6-0, 194) played well for Central Florida in his collegiate carer, showing good instincts in coverage and contributing some physicality in run defense. Multiple team sources were impressed with Grant at the Senior Bowl and said he helped himself in Mobile. Teams feel Grant has issues in man coverage, but he is a hard hitter and has good ball skills. They feel he is a sleeper prospect who could be a steal in the 2021 NFL Draft.  Over the past three seasons, Grant was very productive. In 2020, he recorded 72 tackles, three interceptions and five passes defended. Grant jumped out with a massive 2018 season, totaling 108 tackles, six interceptions, two forced fumbles and three passes broken up. In 2019, Grant came down to earth with 78 tackles, an interception and a forced fumble.  101. LB Chazz Surratt:  Detroit adds to its linebacker corps, picking up one with upside.  The 6-foot-2, 225-pound Surratt played well in 2020 and generated media buzz. For the NFL, Surratt has a good skill set with size, speed, strength and athleticism, but he is raw and needs development. Surratt has issues with missed tackles, and his instincts can be streaky. In time, he could be a good pro linebacker, but improving his instincts, tackling, and reading his keys will be imperative for him to develop into a good NFL player.  Surratt totaled 91 tackles, six sacks, one forced fumble, one interception and three passes defended in 2020. He broke out at linebacker for the Tar Heels in 2019, totaling 115 tackles with 6.5 sacks, one forced fumble, three passes defended and an interception. Surratt had an interesting college career, having served as North Carolina's starting quarterback for seven games in 2017, where he completed 59 percent of his passes for 1,342 yards with eight touchdowns and three interceptions. He also ran for five scores that season. In 2018, Surratt was suspended for four games for selling team-issued shoes and then had a season-ending wrist injury in his first game after suspension.):  https://walterfootball.com/draft2021charlieredraft_2.php

SI (41. Detroit: Elijah Moore, WR, Ole Miss:  The Lions (rightly) didn’t pass on Penei Sewell in Round 1, but they’re still in desperate need of receivers. Moore can separate and plays bigger than his size in traffic. He would mesh nicely as a catch-and-run weapon for Jared Goff.  72. Detroit: Carlos Basham Jr, DE, Wake Forest:  The Lions could use all the pass rush help they can get. Basham was discussed as a first-round prospect in the days leading up to the draft, breaking out in 2019 with an 11-sack season. Basham also had a stunning 18 tackles for loss in his last full season. Dan Campbell would surely appreciate Basham’s high-energy, heavy-handed style.  101. Detroit (from L.A. Rams): Nico Collins, WR, Michigan:  The Lions look in-state for some desperately needed help on offense. Collins is big—6’ 4”—and can handle himself quite well in physical situations. A kneecap biter, one might say.):  https://www.si.com/nfl/2021/04/30/day-2-mock-draft-rounds-2-and-3

SN (41. Detroit Lions - Levi Onwuzurike, DT, Washington (6-3, 290 pounds):  The Lions need to beef up their defensive front with more quickness and strength and Onwuzurike is a great value here.  72. Detroit Lions Terrace Marshall, WR, LSU (6-3, 200 pounds):  The Lions need to address wide receiver after losing Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones Jr. and Marshall is the classic size/speed prospect for the outside.  101. Detroit Lions (from Rams, compensatory) isreal Mukuamu, CB/S, South Carolina (6-4, 212 pounds):  The Lions got Jeffery Okudah for cornerback in last year's draft and now they could use a big presence to nail down safety and improve their subpackages.):  https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-mock-draft-2021-round-2-3/d38442xz4u6o1ix5ezw0dq99k

USA Today (41. WR Elijah Moore:  Even if the passing game won't be the focal point of this offense, Detroit needs to reload at the position after losing Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones in free agency. Moore can do a lot of damage from the slot and also on jet sweeps.):  https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/columnist/nate-davis/2021/04/30/nfl-second-round-mock-draft-bucs-flier-qb-davis-mills/7390607002/
