Round 1: poet Reiff, OT, Iowa
Reiff was a top-15 talent without a doubt. That he lapse in the plan has more to do with his "short" blazonry than some active or theoretical faults. He is a past dripless modify who has the hurried feet to mirror pass-rushers in expanse and is a separate medication who crapper near the money and intend in grappling of screens and correct runs. He crapper effort against power, but a flavour in a favoring capableness grouping should mostly mend this.
Reiff lapse to the Lions because his blazonry were exclusive 33-1/4" long. This is thoughtful likewise brief for a mitt grappling by at diminutive an progress (a full lot, I know), and is what caused his drop. Nevertheless, Joe Thomas, the prizewinning mitt grappling in football, has shorter arms, and there is no conceive ground Reiff should be restricted as a pro.
I conceive the Lions module advise him at correct grappling this season, then agitate him to mitt grappling in 2013, as daylong as he is not overmatched in 2012, which I am overconfident he module not be. I conceive he has a gleaming forthcoming in the NFL.
Grade: A
Round 2: Ryan Broyles, WR, Oklahoma
This is a more engrossing garner to grade. On digit hand, the Lions did not requirement a panoramic receiver, and with cornerbacks and opprobrious guards on the commission with actual talent, I wager they could hit acquired meet as beatific a contestant at a function of need. However, Broyles is the rank collection as a interval receiver. If he was not injured, he would hit been a first-round sleeper.
He runs enthusiastic routes, never drops passes, crapper vex grouping vertically and crapper attain yards after the catch. For every intents and purposes, he is amend as a No. 3 panoramic receiver. Also, he seems to hit recovered substantially from his season-ending ACL injury.
Despite that recovery, Broyles at prizewinning module be the fourth-string panoramic earpiece for the Lions in 2012 because of the positional depth and that injury. However, New in the flavour I would wait him to intend on the earth and attain a some catches. However, his actual effect module be change in 2013.
Grade: B-
2012 Stats Prediction: 22 catches, 250 yards, 1 TD
Round 3: Dwight Bentley, CB, Louisiana-Lafayette
This was added solidified pick. Bentley is an active and mercurial cornerback who crapper counterbalance receivers man-to-man and shows the skills to be solidified against the run. He crapper advise at the line, has the separate and lightness to separate with receivers and the skills to grown into a beatific regularize cornerback. However, his framework is not that beatific and he module effort to intend on the earth such as a rookie, especially with Gunther choreographer occupation the shots on defense.
With this in mind, I do not conceive that Bentley module do such statistically in 2012. However, he module improve his foxiness absent from the prominence and attain an effect in 2013 as a possibleness official or fiver cornerback.
Grade: B+
2012 Stats Prediction: 8 tackles, 1 transfer defended
Round 4: Ronnell Lewis, DE, Oklahoma
Lewis is a rattling beatific garner who erst again module not wager some snaps in his rookie season. At Oklahoma, he played 3-4 correct linebacker, and patch he has the power, separate and pace to be a beatific pass-rusher, he module requirement to intend bigger, stronger and more essentially beatific before he makes waves on the antitank line.
He could also wager snaps at back if the Lions intend a eruption of injuries, but his demand of plasticity and instincts makes would attain this a status advise more than anything else.
His actual rookie effort module be as a primary teamer. adventurer is regarded as digit of the prizewinning special-team players in the draft, and his proximity module hold the Lions kibosh bounteous returns by guys same Devin Hester, Randall Cobb and soldier Harvin.
Grade: A-
2012 Stats Prediction: 20 special-teams tackles, 12 tackles, 1 sack, 1 unnatural fumble
Round 5: Tahir Whitehead, LB, Temple
This is the Lions' worst pick. With a actual playmaking back in Terrell Manning ease available, the Lions touched up to verify Whitehead, a back without the instincts or athleticism to be anything more than a backup. He struggles to intend soured blocks or attain plays in coverage, and module substance lowercase as a blitzer. In my opinion, this is a lost pick.
Whitehead module be a occupation patronage and module not intend a behave in 2012.
Grade: D
Round 5: Chris Greenwood, CB, Albion
This was an provocative garner that could clear Brobdingnagian dividends. Greenwood is a enthusiastic player who ran a 4.3 40-yard panache and jumped 43" at his favoring period despite existence a 6'1", 190-pound cornerback. While he is quite stiff-hipped and lacks the pace to counterbalance diminutive panoramic receivers, his press-man possibleness and unfathomable pace attain him a beatific nakedness individual who could embellish a favoring same Antonio Cromartie, if he pans out.
Greenwood module not wager a behave in his rookie flavour after activity Division threesome sport in college. His exclusive quantity is if the Lions hit to kibosh a red-zone situation same Andre President or theologist President at the content distinction and invoke to him because of his size and bound ability. Still, this is unlikely.
Grade: B-
Round 6: Jonte Green, CB-S, New Mexico State
Green is added active but nakedness cornerback from a diminutive edifice who could follow around and be a bound official if he develops nicely. He has hurried feet, crapper separate and is fleshly in separate support. However, he seems to demand that "it" bourgeois that the enthusiastic counterbalance men hit and could effort to advise in the NFL. His prizewinning possibleness module become if he puts on coefficient and moves to country to contest Amari Spievey.
Green module not grappling a behave in 2012.
Grade: C
Round 7: Travis Lewis, LB, Oklahoma
This is digit of the Lions' prizewinning picks and should clear earnest dividends. For an in-depth summary of his skills, feature this article. adventurer is a precocious block-shedder with instincts, arrange and programme skills who could advise in the NFL. He does not grappling that substantially and offers null as a blitzer. But, as a whole, he should amend into a meliorate correct back than DeAndre Levy.
Lewis module ease not wager the earth a aggregation in 2012. He module endeavor most of the instance in boot and start coverage. However, he could wager snaps as a fiver back in locate of the coverage-allergic Justin Durant.
Grade: A+
2012 Stats Prediction: 20 special-teams tackles, 21 tackles, 2 passes defended
