The Detroit Lions are expected to have ten picks in the seven rounds of the 2016 NFL Draft. Here’s a full mock draft of what they could do with those picks.

Sitting in the middle of the first round, the Detroit Lions could go a number of ways with their first pick of the 2016 NFL Draft. What they ultimately decide to do will have an impact on what happens with their picks that follow.

It is in the spirit of that dynamic that I put together this seven-round mock draft for the Lions. This isn’t what I think the Lions will do, nor is it necessarily what I think they should do. Simply, this is a look at what they could do.

Mock drafts are fun. Or at least, they are supposed to be. Opinions abound when it comes to the NFL Draft but if taken as an entertaining way to learn about the prospects and examining some scenarios, mock drafts can be a great way to pass the time between the Super Bowl and the draft.

Let’s have some fun, eh?

Now on to the first pick.
