Here’s a roundup of Day 2 mock drafts:
Steve Muench, Scouts Inc.
A.J. Epensensa, DE, Iowa -- “Adding corner Jeff Okudah in the first round and Epenesa here could go a long way to improving a Detroit defense that regressed last year. While Epenesa isn’t an explosive pass-rusher, he knows how to get to the quarterback and he’d be a good complement to Trey Flowers.”
Chris Trapasso, CBSSports.com
Marlon Davidson, DL, Auburn -- “I could see Matt Patricia being into what the versatile Davidson will bring as a college defensive end who’s bulked up to play inside.”
Kevin Hanson, SI.com
35. Ross Blacklock, DL, TCU -- “Often utilized in a two-gap role at TCU, Blacklock displays impressive burst and lateral agility to be a disruptive one-gap penetrator at the next level. His pass-rushing upside makes him an intriguing option at the top of Round 2.”
67. Curtis Weaver, EDGE, Boise State
85. Zack Moss, RB, Utah
Nate Davis, USA Today
Ross Blacklock, DT, TCU -- “This defense still needs playmakers up front and could especially use an explosive athlete who could help Trey Flowers hunt quarterbacks.”

35. Detroit Lions: Ross Blacklock, DT, TCU
Walter Cherepinsky, Walterfootball.com
Johnathan Taylor, RB, Wisconsin -- Kerryon Johnson hasn’t been able to stay healthy, so I expect Detroit to target a running back in the opening half of the 2020 NFL Draft. Jonathan Taylor showed surprising athleticism at the combine, which helped mitigate some of the concerns teams have with the workload he handled at Wisconsin.

Marlon Davidson, DL, Auburn -- “After landing Jeff Okudah for their secondary in Round 1, the Lions should turn their attention to reconstructing their defensive front to better support Trey Flowers. Davidson (6-3, 303 pounds) can be a terror rushing the passer from both the interior and the edge. He has a nice blend of strength, power and quickness to go along with sudden finishing move.”
