Okay... guys from the A list here who have been popping up on our various mocks, and seem like need/slot connections for the Lions in this draft:
1.6:
DE Anderson (if he falls, maybe a shade less impossible than a month ago)
CB Gonzalez
CB Witherspoon
RB Robinson (putting him here as buzz seems upward)
1.18:
QB Levis
TE Mayer (but not Kincaid)
CB Banks
S Branch
DE Murphy
LB Simpson
2nd-3rd round:
CB Forbes
TE LaPorta
LB Henley
WR Mims
DE Anduike-Uzomah
I'll take this list as a useful composite of that guy's thorough team-based work plus our own leanings, and make this list a sort of "focus" group for now.
LB Sanders
G Steve Avila
T Matthew Bergeron
The guys I will downgrade (for DET) based on this guy's work will be:
DT Carter
DT Bresee
DE Wilson
LB Campbell
CB Williams
LB Nolan Smith
