Mock Draft 2.0 has the same focus as my Mock 1.0 projections for how the Detroit Lions will target their two first-round picks. It's still defense, defense when the Lions pick at No. 6 and No. 18, but my selections for Mock 2 have been tweaked and come with a warning to expect the unexpected. Brad Holmes has been active in the trade market and resourceful in maneuvering picks to maximize their value in his two seasons as general manager of the Lions. There already are projections of numerous trade possibilities at the top of this year's draft. Whether the Lions stay put or make a trade, defensive end and cornerback are two positions where the Lions could get help.
