The 2010 SB Nation NFL Mock Draft is underway, with each SB Nation blogger making selections for their respective teams. Sean Yuille, lead blogger at SB Nation's Detroit Lions blog, Pride of Detroit, checks in to make the second overall selection in this year's mock. Take it away, sir!
2010 SB Nation NFL Mock Draft: Round 1, Pick 2
With the second overall pick in the 2010 SB Nation NFL Mock Draft, the Detroit Lions have selected Ndamukong Suh, defensive tackle, Nebraska.
Sean Yuille says: For the Detroit Lions - a team filled with holes on the roster even after a successful free agency period that included both signings and trades - it’s tough to go wrong with the second overall pick. There are various scenarios out there that fans would be pleased with, and one of them is Sam Bradford being picked first overall by the Rams. That allows Nebraska’s Ndamukong Suh to be picked by the Lions, adding a dominant defensive tackle to a defensive line that suddenly isn’t too shabby at all.
The Lions have already added defensive tackle Corey Williams via a trade with the Browns and defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch via free agency. Adding Suh would not only give Lions fans great faith in the defensive line, but it would be another step in overhauling the entire defense and continuing to add talent to the team.
Mocking Dan reacts: The addition of Suh would complete Detroit’s revitalization of its defensive tackle rotation. He projects as an immediate star and will be a difference maker for Detroit. This is the obvious choice, and a good one.
