Lions full mock draft v5.0: Post-combine edition

With the scouting combine now done it’s time for an updated set of Detroit Lions draft projections

Now that the preeminent event of NFL draft season is in the books, it’s time to update the Detroit Lions 2022 mock draft. The scouting combine in Indianapolis shook things up a bit with workouts both good and bad, official player measurements, interviews and medicals, as well as the chance for those of us in attendance to get direct access to NFL decision-makers and pick their brains a bit.

This is the fifth edition of the 2022 NFL draft projections for the Lions in each round.

Lions full mock draft v2.0: Post-Week 14 edition

Lions 7-round mock draft for the bye week

A couple of ground rules here. First, this mock ignores free agency and potential signings and releases of veterans. We explore those more comprehensive offseason projections and ideas in the mock offseason series, which will update later this week.

Secondly, no trades. It’s incredibly difficult to accurately predict what players will be available for the Lions at each pick, let alone trying to forecast what other teams will try and do to move up or down. Projected compensatory draft picks are included. Those should be made official any day now.

The path to the NFL draft started in Mobile, Alabama this weekend after several impressive days of practice, college football’s top senior players put on quite the performance as Cincinnati’s Desmond Ridder led the National team to 20-10 win over American team.

Ridder threw two touchdown passes on the day and the National team led by Boye Mafe logged eight sacks in the exhibition matchup.

Pittsburgh’s Kenny Pickett was 6-of-6 passing for 89 yards and a touchdown despite only playing the first quarter, while Liberty’s Malik Willis led all rushers in the game, but had moments where he struggled as a passer, amassing just 11 yards.

With three first round picks, the Eagles will have an opportunity to amass talent on both sides of the ball and here are the seven prospects that stood out the most on Saturday.

Perfect early/late-round LB fits for Eagles in 2022 NFL Draft

Looking at the perfect early/late-round LINEBACKER fits for the Philadelphia #Eagles in 2022 #NFLDraft

As the Eagles get set to start preparing for their Week 15 matchup against Washington, all eyes are starting to turn towards the NFL draft, where Philadelphia will likely control the board with 3 first-round picks.

The Eagles haven’t drafted a linebacker in the first round since the late 70s, but 2022 could provide the ultimate opportunity for Howie Roseman to finally land a game-changer in the first or second round.

Regardless of what round Philadelphia strikes, there will be plenty of big-time linebackers on the board for the Eagles to target.
