It’s time for our first full 7-round Detroit Lions mock draft of 2020. Now that we know the full draft order, except compensatory picks, it’s a lot easier to project what players might be available for selection — at least in the first two rounds.

Free agency could have a big impact on what needs are still prevalent when the draft rolls around in late April. But as of now, this is one draft path Lions GM Bob Quinn could choose to follow.

First round, No. 3 overall

The first pick will be LSU QB Joe Burrow to Cincinnati. The second pick is a bit of a mystery for Washington. It could be Ohio State EDGE Chase Young, Georgia OT Andrew Thomas or perhaps even Ohio State CB Jeff Okudah. Given the Skins don’t yet have a GM, it’s tough to have any confidence in what happens at No. 2. But for our purposes here, Washington takes Chase Young.

That leaves a handful of prospects worthy of No. 3. Thomas and Okudah are in that mix. So are Auburn DT Derrick Brown, Alabama WR Jerry Jeudy and maybe Iowa EDGE A.J. Epenesa.

The pick: Derrick Brown. His ability to impact the quarterback from the interior is a dimension the Lions haven’t had since Ndamukong Suh’s heyday It’s a rich pick for a defensive tackle but Brown has the potential to make it worthwhile.

Second round, No. 35 overall

The biggest needs remain pass rush, wide receiver and cornerback. The best bang for the draft value buck appears to be at EDGE, in part because it’s very unusual to find impact pass rushers outside of the top 50. There are a couple of corners and wideouts who should definitely be in the conversation.

The pick: Yetur Gross-Matos, EDGE, Penn State. There are times when the 6-5, 265-pounder looks dominant attacking the edge and also busting inside. He finishes very well and can win with power or quickness. Gross-Matos just needs to do it more consistently, which is why he’s not a consensus first-round talent.

Third round, No. 67 overall

The pick: Brandon Aiyuk, WR, Arizona State

Do you miss Golden Tate? I know I do. So I’m using this pick to draft the closest thing I’ve seen to the dynamic wideout in a few years as a prospect. He’s not as crafty with his routes yet, but the shiftiness, ability to make tacklers look stupid and big-play mentality are all very reminiscent of Tate in Detroit

Fourth round

The pick: Josh Uche, EDGE, Michigan

Uche projects as a situational, stand-up pass rusher in sub packages, at least early in his career. He did show more toughness at the point of attack in 2019 but it’s still a work in progress. Uche can help the Lions in 10-20 snaps per game as a rookie speed rusher with some developmental upside.

Fifth round

The pick: Kyle Dugger, S, Lenoir-Rhyne

If you love Clemson’s Isaiah Simmons, you’ll like Dugger too. He’s not quite as big (listed 6-3/220) but Dugger brings the same sort of positional versatility and playmaking ability from the D-II level. He’s run a documented 4.41 40-yard dash and it shows on the field. My limited viewings have been very impressive, and I know the Lions have seen a lot more of the two-time team captain than I have. Dugger will be at the Senior Bowl, playing both safety and linebacker as well as kick returner.

Sixth round

The pick: Dane Jackson, CB, Pittsburgh

Jackson would come off the draft board much earlier if he had better speed. The Lions under Bob Quinn have shown a willingness to overlook a lack of long speed at CB as long as the other boxes (instincts, physicality, tackling, ball skills) are checked. And they are with Jackson.

Seventh round

The Lions do not have a seventh-round pick. It was traded to the San Francisco 49ers for EDGE Eli Harold in 2018.
