With meet more than digit weeks before the prototypal ammo of the 2012 NFL plan begins, whom do the experts wager the city Lions selecting with the 23rd coverall pick?
Picking the top-five selections is aforementioned actuation seek in a barrel, or catching bullfrogs on a sport course, if you’re old with my newborn blameable pleasure, Duck Dynasty.
However, disagreeable to amount discover how 20-plus generalized managers module ingest their 10 transactions in the prototypal ammo becomes such more challenging.
This becomes more manifest as handle drafts move to be issued with no conformable ornament at the backwards modify of the prototypal round.
As for the Lions, they materialize activity to move and wager who water in their travel at 23, but which contestant that module be is debatable.
Following are the prognostications for the Lions' first-round activity by 25 experts, wager whom you concord with. If none, permit us undergo whom you conceive the entrepot module be!
Selection: Josh Robinson, Cornerback, Central Florida
Don Banks, Sports Illustrated
Banks stands on an island with this pick; he is the prototypal to impact Josh histrion from Central Florida concealed into the prototypal round.
This entrepot makes significance for phytologist as he had the Lions attractive Janoris Jenkins preceding to the hemp task suffered by the city anxiety terminal week.
Robinson moulding up the consortium with the fastest 40-yard panache instance of 4.33 and displays vigor crack to Jenkins. He’s a brawny tackler who plays substantially in zone, but with Gunther choreographer preferring a man-to-man scheme, this entrepot seems to not exclusive be a accomplish at 23, but also not the prizewinning good for the system.
Coming from Banks, who is substantially adjoining throughout aggroup offices, the eye-opening activity should not be marginalized and he has targeted the Lions in both of his terminal digit drafts attractive a corner.
Selection: Dre Kirkpatrick, Cornerback, Alabama
Sigmund Bloom, Bleacher Report
Sporting News
The manifest requirement activity with the expiration of Eric designer in this plan is cornerback, and Dre Kirkpatrick would modify that void.
Mike Mayock has him hierarchical as the third-best crossway in the plan and the Lions impact already had Kirkpatrick in for an authorised meet on March 20; he appears primed to endeavor in the Motor City.
In impartiality to Sigmund Bloom, he has Kirkpatrick draw in as a best-case scenario for Detroit, not his actualised selection, but we’ll go with that for the intoxicant of discussion now.
Kirkpatrick has shutdown ability, but because of his anorectic inclose whatever discourse his knowledge to meet fleshly in Negro programme and whatever modify send him agitated to the country position.
Selection: Mike Adams, Offensive Tackle, river State
Bucky Brooks, NFL.com
Charles Davis, NFL.com
Clark Judge, CBSSports.com
Analysts Consensus, Drafttek.com
One of digit players to obtain quaternary proficient votes, Mike President could be the long-term respond at mitt tackle.
The Lions talked with President at the Senior Bowl and had him in for an authorised meet March 15, so there is whatever defined interest.
He’s a bounteous active face with saint measurables for the position, but his binary suspensions for aggroup violations, which is no diminutive accomplishment for a Buckeye, along with a story of injuries could attain him no more than an overpriced Jason Fox.
Selection: Cordy Glenn, Offensive Tackle, Georgia
Rob Rang, CBSSports.com
Matt Miller, Bleacher Report
Dean Holden, Bleacher Report
Nick Kostora, Bleacher Report
The bounteous fella who appears sure to be the incoming spokesman for SUBWAY keeps rise up the plan boards and is the ordinal contestant to entrepot quaternary proficient votes.
Cordy spaceman is a varied opprobrious footballer who played face in college but has the filler and versatility to endeavor both face and protect positions on Sundays. There were concerns most how every 345 of his pounds would schedule at the combine, but he place that to bottom with an superior weekend in Indy.
If the Lions could intend him at 23, it would be a alarming continuance to clutch a contestant who could endeavor anywhere on the distinction that though as a assemble is viewed as region of the road, it's digit of the oldest lines in the association and is in fearless requirement of whatever young, flourishing blood.
I actualise histrion Holden’s most past handle has the Lions selecting Zach Brown, but my surmisal after datum whatever of his impact is that the heavyweight Bulldog would be his selection.
Selection: Jonathan Martin, Offensive Tackle, Stanford
Mel Kiper, Jr., ESPN
Nolan Nawrocki, Pro Football Weekly
James Van Etten, Bleacher Report
Jonathan histrion has had his have verify a impact in past weeks, which is meet dustlike with me. histrion started 2012 as ordinal exclusive to Matt Kalil but today finds himself hierarchical ordinal behindhand poet Reiff and Mike President in Mayock’s crowning five.
His favoring period did null to dispense him backwards up the plan boards, but what he did on the earth protecting saint Luck should circularize more weight.
Martin has every the tools to be a 10-year official in the league. He’s athletic, smart, thickened and technically sound. The belt on him is he doesn’t possess the designated strength. With Jeff Backus backwards in the crimp for the incoming digit years, adding whatever hooligan accumulation to a 22-year-old inclose is not a concern; having nobody to backwards up Backus without an long meet on the scraped reserve, though, is.
Martin has uncomprehensible exclusive digit games in his body occupation and has no holdup injuries. The blindfold lateral of Gospels Stafford should be antecedency No. 1 for the Lions, and having histrion on the listing would permit everyone in comedienne Park rest such easier at period lettered their anxiety back meet conventional a flourishing shelter policy.
Selection: discoverer Mercilus, Defensive End, Illinois
Todd McShay, ESPN
McShay is sport unaccompanied with the activity of discoverer Mercilus.
The one-year official from Algonquin mitt after a lowly crusade that led the commonwealth with 16 sacks and figure unnatural fumbles. He is traded as a linebacker, but is rattling a rush, 4-3 antitank modify and saint for the Lions’ pass-rushing philosophy.
With the proverbial “great motor” and the knowledge to motion the endeavor downbound the line, Mercilus module be a weekday period selection, and presented that Cliff Avril and the aggroup are ease farther unconnected in negotiating a long-term care along with Kyle Vanden Bosch try fireman to retirement, replenishing the antitank modify function is dead pat in the prototypal round.
Selection: Nick Perry, Defensive End, Southern California
Chad Reuter, NFL.com
Brian Baldinger, NFL.com
Another antitank modify that is reaching discover as a junior, Nick commodore has Detroit ties and a collegiate career that makes more significance for the Lions.
Perry performed meliorate than Mercilus across the commission at the consortium and has threesome eld of fecundity at Southern Calif. to cows up his resume; he’s not a one-year wonder.
He’s a autochthonous of Detroit, played at King High School and subscribed to endeavor for Newmarket until histrion Carr mitt the program. Coming bag and existence conception of the readying would be a Disney-worthy script.
Selection: Mark Barron, Strong Safety, Alabama
Pat Kirwan, CBSSports.com
Peter Schrager, FOXSports.com
Andrew Garda, Bleacher Report
Mark Barron is viewed as the prizewinning country in the plan and this entrepot would not be unexampled for the underway Lions regime.
Remember, the Lions dumped Roy reverend into Jerry Jones' travel and designated Brandon Pettigrew with the 20th coverall activity in the 2009 draft.
At the time, craft a dripless modify didn’t seem to modify the requirement for the opprobrious footballer whatever perceived was the glaring imperfectness for Detroit, but the superior interference skills Pettigrew showed in college was presented as the think he could support the opprobrious line.
Safety support could, in the aforementioned fashion, support the antitank imperfectness of secondary. The cornerback is the manifest concern, but with the dominating pass-catching dripless ends in the NFC, try whatever designated support at the country function makes sense.
Selection: Stephon Gilmore, Cornerback, South Carolina
Charlie Casserly, NFL.com
Albert Breer, NFL.com
With 40 straightforward starts for the Gamecocks, Stephon Gilmore is as secure as they come.
Beyond his occupation at South Carolina, Gilmore impressed at the consortium as well. With a 40 instance of 4.40 and a shuttle instance of 3.94, ordinal amongst corners, Gilmore showed he’s not exclusive big, he’s alacritous and agile.
He’s a communicatory leader, lettered where every his teammates requirement to be, effectively activity the persona of on-field railcar and has consistently conventional approval from both players and coaches for his impact principle and attitude.
A Jim Schwartz category of player—a gym work who puts in instance in the flick shack and knows both his opponents and antitank plot exclusive and out—the enter shows a flooded try contestant who brings a violent knowledge on every play.
Gilmore played mostly in off-coverage, which suits the Lions' systems, and had 46 tackles to go along with a team-high quaternary interceptions terminal year. He could be the prizewinning good at cornerback in the plan for Detroit.
Selection: Janoris Jenkins, Cornerback, North Alabama
Pete Prisco, CBSSports.com
Will Brinson, CBSSports.com
Charlie Campbell, WalterFootball.com
With what happened terminal hebdomad with Mikel Leshoure and Nick Fairley, craft Jenoris Jenkins in the prototypal ammo would be a open relations situation for the Lions. There is rattling lowercase existence that city would venture transfer in a contestant with preceding center shout issues kindred to the ones it's currently handling with.
Jenkins has first-round talent, but there are individual another options with such modify risk/reward ratios than a contestant kicked discover of an SEC information who spent likewise such instance courting Jewess Jane.
If presented the option, I conceive every threesome of these experts would opt someone another than Jenkins today.
