ALLEN PARK — After spending the week at the NFL combine, it’s time to hit our mock drafts with a new layer of paint.

Let’s get into MLive Lions beat writer Ben Raven’s second mock draft of the offseason below.

No. 1: Tennessee Titans — Miami (Fl.) QB Cam Ward

One of the changes from my first to second mock draft is at the top of the order. Everything everyone is saying leads me to believe the Titans are going to take a quarterback. And everything said about those top quarterbacks makes me think it’s Cam Ward.

Abdul Carter or Travis Hunter would be more intriguing for me in Tennessee’s shoes. But the hole at quarterback might be too much to ignore.

No. 2: Cleveland Browns — Penn State EDGE Abdul Carter

The Browns seem focused on making things work with Myles Garrett. No matter what happens there, throwing Abdul Carter on that defensive line could bring a rare, fleeting feeling of hope to Cleveland. Carter is a legit player at a premium position, and the Browns might need to replace Garrett, depending on how this plays out.

No. 3: New York Giants — Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders

Shedeur Sanders is no stranger to the spotlight, and he’s more worth the risk than banking on Aaron Rodgers. Sanders has one heck of an accurate arm, can work from the pocket and has enough mobility to extend plays or make a play with his feet. Travis Hunter and Carter are the two best players in this draft. However, Ward and Sanders are good enough to merit the reach. This year isn’t like the Malik Willis/Desmond Ridder draft to me.

No. 4: New England Patriots — Colorado CB/WR Travis Hunter

The Patriots need offensive line and receiver help. But you can’t pass on Travis Hunter at Pick 4. No way. Hunter is likely to see his most work at cornerback. But teams would be wise to work in some packages for the unicorn prospect at wide receiver, as well.

No. 5: Jacksonville Jaguars — LSU OT Will Campbell

Will Campbell could play tackle or guard. The Jaguars could use some options for their offensive line, and Campbell could fill that void. If he wins the job at tackle, that would be great. If they see him as a fit at guard, it’s also great.

No. 6: Las Vegas Raiders — Michigan DL Mason Graham

Matthew Stafford didn’t work out. And unless the Raiders trade up for Ward or Sanders, they are in a tough spot on the quest for a quarterback. They extended Maxx Crosby, and drafting Mason Graham would give them one heck of a disruptive defensive line.

No. 7: New York Jets — Texas CB Jahdae Barron

Will Johnson was my original pick here. But Jahdae Burton was already in consideration for this spot; then the Texas cornerback turned in some elite testing at the combine. That’s enough for a bump in the order. Aaron Glenn taking a cornerback with his first, first-round pick as Jets head coach just feels too right.

No. 8: Carolina Panthers — Arizona WR Tetairoa McMillan

Carolina’s defense is still rough. But I still love this pick for the Panthers and quarterback Bryce Young. There seems to be life in the former top pick’s chances, so why not add a big-bodied playmaker to the mix? Tetairoa McMillan is the type of receiver who is going to make some ridiculously hard-contested catches and could provide Young more confidence in letting it rip.

No. 9: New Orleans Saints — Penn State TE Tyler Warren

The Saints are a wild card, with a new coach, dreadful cap situation and needs all over the board. Tyler Warren is the type of tight end that is worth this type of investment. Find ways to use him all over the field, and the Saints are getting a young offensive weapon.

No. 10: Chicago Bears — Missouri OT Armand Membou

Armand Membou, as previously mentioned, is my dream situation for someone to fall in the order for Detroit. But that’s not happening. It was a long shot before the combine, then Membou was elite in speed and explosion drills, which is not too shabby for a 6-foot-4, 332-pounder. He has the size and athleticism that you can draft him and then decide if he’s a guard or tackle.

No. 11: San Francisco 49ers — Ohio State OL Josh Simmons

So much of what the 49ers do is built through their offensive line. Trent Williams is entering Year 15 at 36 years old, and Josh Simmons would be a great option to draft and develop for the future. With Deebo Samul traded to Washington and Brandon Aiyuk’s name on the rumor mill again, watch out for another receiver.

No. 12: Dallas Cowboys — Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty

Ashton Jeanty was an even stronger thought for the Bears at Pick 10 this time. But they should continue to add to their offensive line until something finally clicks, no matter how many veterans they trade for. Jeanty would be a great get for a Cowboys team in need of some juice and optimism. Jeanty is a special running back prospect.

No. 13: Miami Dolphins — Texas OL Kelvin Banks Jr.

Mocking an offensive line pick for the Dolphins, go figure. Kelvin Banks Jr. is another big, athletic enough offensive lineman that he could play tackle or guard.

No. 14: Indianapolis Colts — Michigan TE Colston Loveland

Arm in a sling or not, the Colts need a tight end, and I’m higher on Colston Loveland than most. His route-running and hands would be a perfect match and fill a major need for Anthony Richardson and the Colts.

No. 15: Atlanta Falcons — Alabama LB Jihaad Campbell

Jihaad Campbell might be the most entertaining defensive player to watch in this year’s draft. He’s a natural pass rusher who looks ready to blitz on Day 1. Campbell just has a nose for the ball and the burst to finish nearly any play with a thump.

No. 16: Arizona Cardinals — Michigan DL Kenneth Grant

Kenneth Grant is a massive prospect. He measures 6-foot-4, 331 pounds, and would bring a destructive, hole-clogging ability to Arizona’s defensive front.

No. 17: Cincinnati Bengals — Georgia LB/EDGE Jalon Walker

Jalon Walker is a draft crush. Walker looks built to play SAM linebacker, with his ability to rush the passer and hold things down at linebacker. Walker would bring a spark and versatility to a defense going through some changes.

No. 18: Seattle Seahawks — Tennessee EDGE James Pearce Jr.

James Pearce Jr. cemented himself as a potential lightning bolt off the edge. The 6-foot-5, 245-pound pass rusher ran a 4.5-second 40-yard dash at the combine. Pearce is also quick in space, and seems to have some serious burst to his game. Like the 49ers, the Seahawks might be in the receiver market.

No. 19: Tampa Bay Buccaneers — Texas A&M EDGE Shemar Stewart

Shemar Stewart, who earned a perfect Relative Athletic Score for his testing at the combine, is likely set for a steady rise during mock season. Sure, his production leaves some room for questions. But, wow. There is more than enough to work with for someone who runs a 4.59-second 40-yard dash, leaps 40 inches and scores elite in every testing category at 6-foot-5, 267 pounds.

The Buccaneers need more for their defensive edges, with the strength of the line on the inside in Tampa Bay.

No. 20: Denver Broncos — Georgia S Malaki Starks

When you’re in the same division as Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert, you need to make sure the defensive backfield is fully stocked. The Broncos made the playoffs last year, and the easy move would be focused on adding something for quarterback Bo Nix.

But if Starks is there at Pick 20? I’m on board with him as someone who fell too long based on what position he plays. Starks is a ball-hawking safety who has played some snaps in the slot at the highest of levels.

No. 21: Pittsburgh Steelers — Ohio State WR Emeka Egbuka

No matter what the Steelers do at quarterback, they need more diversity in their passing attack. Emeka Egbuka brings the perfect skill set and physicality to play inside or outside. But he looks like someone who could do some damage from the slot.

No. 22: Los Angeles Chargers — Boston College EDGE Donovan Ezeiruaku

Donovan Ezeiruaku, who was my original mock pick for the Lions, had 16.5 sacks last season. He was the ACC’s defensive player of the year and posted an elite 18.1% pass-rush win rate and 10.1% run-stop rate. Ezeiruaku broke out while playing for a coaching staff with a ton of NFL experience. The Chargers need edge rushers after releasing Joey Bosa, not to mention with Khalil Mack about to hit free agency.

No. 23: Green Bay Packers — Michigan CB Will Johnson

The Packers should continue throwing blue-chippers at their defense. They are competing in a division with Detroit’s high-powered offense, Justin Jefferson and a new offensive-minded coach in Chicago. Will Johnson remains a first-round prospect despite sliding down the board here.

No. 24: Minnesota Vikings — Oregon DL Derrick Harmon

Derrick Harmon moves too well for someone standing 6-foot-4, 313 pounds. Harmon, the former Michigan State defensive lineman, posted five sacks and 11 tackles for loss last season for Oregon. He’s big enough to handle the interior nasty work, and he’s athletic enough to break through the pocket.

No. 25: Houston Texans — Mississippi DL Walter Nolen

It’s ridiculous how deep this year’s defensive line class is on the inside and outside. Walter Nolen is a 300-pounder who posted 6.5 sacks in his lone season at Ole Miss. He’s another massive player who moves really well.

No. 26: Los Angeles Rams — Marshall EDGE Mike Green

It’s going to be interesting to see what happens to Mike Green’s stock as teams look into the sexual assault allegations he mentioned and denied from the combine. Green led the nation in sacks last year, and even after the Rams took Jared Verse and Braden Fiske early in 2024, this would bring even more to the line.

No. 27: Baltimore Ravens — Missouri WR Luther Burden

Luther Burden is great after the catch, and Lamar Jackson could certainly use some more of that. Burden’s production took a major hit this past year. But he’s still an impressive playmaker and would fit well with the pieces in Baltimore.

No. 28: Detroit Lions — Texas A&M EDGE Nic Scourton

Watching Nic Scourton from Purdue to Texas A&M, reading about him and what people think of his game and how it’s suited for the next level, and I can’t help but think “Lion.”

Scourton, 20, is a powerful pass rusher with steady production. He also appears to have a natural feel for setting the edge and stopping the run. Scourton is no stranger to hitting blockers with a lethal spin move, too. He is one of those players who just seems to find a way to get into the backfield and then make the right type of reads. He’s a worthy first-round pick. He fills a need. He also fits in with the style Detroit prefers.

He had a 10-sack season with Purdue before transferring to Texas A&M for his final season. Last year, he posted five sacks, forced a fumble, knocked away two passes and won 17.1% of his pass rushes, serving as one of the top run-stoppers at his position.

At 6-foot-4, weighing 257 pounds at the combine, Scourton was notably down from his listed playing weight of 285 pounds. He showed more burst, but the way he plays still makes it feel like he has inside-outside versatility. Scourton has made noise from a two-point stance or with his hands in the dirt, which is never a bad thing, especially when thinking about Aidan Hutchinson playing every snap at one of the edge defender spots. This would give the Lions another option if someone like Josh Paschal fails to step his game up as his rookie contract nears its end.

No. 29: Washington Commanders — Georgia EDGE Mykel Williams

Mykel Williams worked through some injuries in his final season. He still remained a consistent presence on a loaded line, with 14 sacks across three years. He never posted fewer than 4.5 sacks in any season at Georgia and finished with a career-best five in 2024.

No. 30: Buffalo Bills — Toledo DL Darius Alexander

Buffalo needs a difference-maker for its interior defensive line, and Darius Alexander packs a serious punch. The Mid-American Conference standout has all the size, speed and length one might desire.

Alexander had eight tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, swatted away four passes and returned an interception 58 yards for a touchdown.

No. 31: Kansas City Chiefs — North Dakota State OL Grey Zabel

After struggling to protect Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, the Chiefs have traded longtime guard Joe Thuney to the Bears and used the franchise tag on guard Trey Smith.

But they still need another offensive tackle and now more depth at guard. Grey Zabel has the versatility to fill some of their gaps as they reshuffle in the trenches.

No. 32: Philadelphia Eagles — Texas WR Matthew Golden

Sign me up for all the Matthew Golden hype. He turned 58 receptions into 987 yards and nine touchdowns at Texas last season. Golden also caught 13 scores in two years at Houston before transferring. He’s electric, posting a 4.29-second 40-yard dash in Indianapolis.
