After the first few days of free agency have altered the Detroit Lions roster and need list, it’s time for an updated mock draft.
These projections are based off the current state of the Lions’ roster as of March 17th and the recent signings through K Michael Badgley.
The picks here are what I think the Lions might do with the picks in the given situation. They do not necessarily represent the choices I would make. For the first two picks, I ran three different draft simulators (PFF, PFN, Fanspeak) to try and build some level of baseline availability. If a player was gone on two of the three simulators, I considered them off the board.
For the first pick at No. 6, that ruled out C.J. Stroud, Bryce Young, Anthony Richardson and Will Anderson. It led to some interesting projections.
