Tyron Smith, OT, USC
The Lions would have loved if Prince or Peterson fell to them, however they have to settle for the big offensive tackle Tyron Smith. He can play on either side of the ball and has better upside than any other prospect in this draft. I'm not going to sit here lie to you like I know anything about blocking, so I guess he gets in the way of defenders better than the other people. Plus he has a pretty sweet name.
BMack's Pick:
Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska
Prince is still on my board, so this becomes an obvious pick for the Lions. Chris Houston is coming along nicely for the Lions, and if Prince can lineup across from him that would give them a nice young defensive backfield to build around. With Suh already up front, and an offense that is coming together (if they can Matthew Stafford healthy), it seems like we say this every year, but this is a team that could start challenging for a playoff spot soon. Amukamara had 5 picks in 2010 at Nebraska, and you have to be impressed with his tackling skills racking up 155 tackles last year. I always like CBs with size, and this kid has decent size at 6-0 and over 200 pounds.
