Detroit Lions NFL Draft Predictions for All 7 Rounds


The Detroit Lions play in a tough division, often being overshadowed by their NFC North counterparts. They continue to play like a team that is on a perpetual rebuild despite any offseason moves they make. In order to get over the hump and start contending again, the Lions will need to nail this NFL Draft.
With that in mind, here's a look at the consensus breakdown of multiple, full seven-round mock drafts for the Lions.
One team to watch during the NFL Draft is the #Lions: At No. 3, I’m told they’ve had discussions with teams about potentially moving back from their slot and that teams wanting to move up have been receptive. As it maps out possibilities, Detroit is always an intriguing team.
