With only a few days before the 2022 NFL draft officially kicks off in Las Vegas, it seems like the perfect time for yet another Detroit Lions mock draft.
Throughout the process, there are a ton of mock drafts completed by all types of experts, but it is always fun to see who your local team might come away with once these simulations are complete.
In this mock draft, there was a mission and it was simply this: fill needs, draft good players, and obtain great value.
Filling needs and drafting good players are self-explanatory and obvious goals, but the key part comes in the “obtain good value” portion of the mission statement. Good value with each pick is key in the NFL draft and that is getting players that will help your football team, but getting the most value out of each of those picks based on who you select and when.
Heading in with glaring needs such as defensive end, safety, wide receiver, linebacker, defensive tackle, cornerback, quarterback, and tight end. The depth of this draft appears to be along the defensive line, offensive line and pass catchers for the most part. To accomplish our mission, let’s try to marry the needs by trying to fill some of those early with game-changers, look for good football players throughout, and then as the draft progresses, wait on certain spots in hopes to find the best value possible.
Let’s go.
