Decided i would share my mock draft game i play during most lions offseasons. I take the prospect rankings for draft from www.cbssports.com and start from whatever number pick the lions have in each round (example) 1st round pick 5 so players rated 1-10 will be targeted with 5 serving as the base number I chose 4 players above that position(1-4) and 5 players below(6-10) HENCE THE NAME 4 ABOVE, 5 BELOW MOCK DRAFT lol. The idea is to draft a player from each round using just the names given in each round some you may know, some you may not but, they are all real players straight from the cbs college football database mine played out like this:

MY PICKS WOULD BE
1ST RD:Damontre Moore, DE (we need a de, release kvb, offer avril same deal as last year take it or leave it)

2ND RD:Jordan Poyer, CB (insurance in case houston leaves,or a young core of bentley, green, greenwood, poyer and houston as our 5 cb's)

3RD RD:David Amerson, CB/S (need safety help, re-sign Delmas pair them together bring back spievey and silva as backups)

5TH RD: Michael Buchanan,DE (more d-line help more comfortable if avril walks, young core of moore, jackson, young, buchanan, and lewis)

6TH RD: Denard Robinson, WR (doubt he falls this far but this is his projection at cbs, project player, josh cribbs type, utility player wr/hb/pr/kr/wildcat or zone read option type plays, plus wr depth)

7TH RD:Quinn Sharp, P(didn't recognize any of the other players, plus we need a punter anyways haha)

each round in which the lions have a pick and its 10 players are listed below I would love to see what combinations of drafts you guys put together and brief reasoning for selection.
