Detroit Lions NFL Mock Draft Roundup 1.0

Given all the electric playmakers in today's NFL, reliable open-field tackling is at a premium. Sabb sports a rocked-up, pro-ready frame, and he's quick to trigger downhill, blasting ball-carriers with explosive hits.

Wilson thrived with the opportunity Missouri presented. Now he'll be tasked with keeping the Hurricane pass rush clicking after transferring to the ACC.

Lubin marries high-end power-rush capabilities with the discipline to shut down the run. His rare ability to drop into zone coverage makes him an ideal hybrid player in the ever-evolving defensive schemes that rely more and more on "positionless" play.

The Lions addressed their need at tackle by drafting Blake Miller in the first round last week, but guard remains one of their biggest question marks. Green shifted to tackle last season, but his long-term NFL outlook is at guard. He's a physical presence at 6-foot-5, 324 pounds who is able to latch onto defenders to create run lanes. Green makes good initial hand contact in pass protection but still needs to improve his strike timing. His mobility was limited last season because of a foot injury, so that's worth watching this upcoming season.

Despite losing Makai Lemon and Ja'Kobi Lane, Maiava is in a situation to become a Heisman contender and push for a spot in the first round.

A former five-star and steady contributor in Kirby Smart's defense, Bolden brings the run-pass versatility and instincts demanded of a first-round safety. While this may be a bit rich, his football intelligence and ability to play multiple spots in the secondary should strengthen his case.

Listed at 6-foot-4, Jones is a tantalizing prospect. He is a long, lean, disciplined perimeter cornerback who allowed just 11 receptions on 375 coverage snaps last season. Jones is a pass-breakup machine with strong instincts at the catch point.
