With the 2008 NFL Draft less than 2 months away, I figured it was time to start throwing some names out there for who the Lions might select. For their first-round pick (#15 overall), cornerbacks seem to be mentioned the most when it comes to mock drafts. They're not the only ones, though, and to illustrate that point, you can check out the mock draft database I put together for the Lions.
I'll try to keep the database updated on a somewhat regular basis, and also hope to add some things to it as time goes by. In the meantime, you can check out some of the names being mentioned with the Lions in the table below.
(The third-round pick I used was Detroit's original selection, not the one they got from Cleveland.)
