The first round is over the Detroit Lions wound up selecting Clemson tackle Blake Miller with the third pick.

Now it’s time to head into day two, where the Lions have one pick in the second round and could potentially trade up into the third round to grab another player. With that in mind, we’ve updated our horizontal big board to reflect the changes from day one. Here’s what you can expect:

  • The realistic candidates they’d likely trade up for
  • All the best players projected to be available at the 50th pick
  • The best players the Lions should trade up into the third round to get
  • The best players projected to be available in the fourth round
  • The best players projected to be available in the fifth round
  • The best players projected to be available in the sixth round
  • The best players projected to be available in the seventh round
  • The best players projected to be available as UDFA’s
