Lance Zierlein’s latest NFL mock draft projects Bijan Robinson to the Detroit Lions

This has been one of the top three landing spots for Bijan Robinson in NFL mock drafts.

Texas running back Bijan Robinson is a surefire first-round pick for the 2023 NFL draft, but which team is the best fit?

Robinson is the No. 1 running back for this draft class and is widely considered a top 10 overall prospect. However, NFL organizations aren’t as inclined to select a ball carrier as early as former years.

The most realistic scenario is for Robinson to be taken off the board towards the middle or back half of the first round. As we inch closer towards April, three teams have emerged as the most common landing spots for Robinson.

The Philadelphia Eagles and Buffalo Bills are seemingly the two most common landing spots for Robinson post-combine, now the Detroit Lions are once again emerging as a potential suitor.

NFL’s Lance Zierlein projected Robinson to the Lions with the No. 18 overall pick in his latest mock draft on Tuesday.

Let’s go! The talented Longhorn back combines power and wiggle — and he can have a similar impact on an offense to what we saw this past season from Josh Jacobs in Las Vegas. Baller move here, Brad Holmes! – Zierlein

The NFL Draft kicks off on Thursday, April 27 at 7 p.m. CT in Kansas City.
