Do the Lions have a realistic chance at picking Prince Amukamara in this year's NFL Draft?
The Detroit Lions could not ask for a better situation then if former Nebraska cornerback Prince Amukamara fell to them with the No. 13 pick in the first round.
While most draft experts believe that Amukamara will be selected somewhere between picks 7 and 11, ESPN.com's Todd McShay has the former Cornhusker falling to the Lions at No. 13 in his latest 2011 NFL Mock Draft.
"This is a dream scenario that allows the Lions to fill their biggest need with a top-10 prospect. Amukamara isn't quite as big as Peterson and is just a notch below in terms of speed and fluidity, but Amukamara has good size and top-end speed and is the most instinctive corner in this class. He's a plug-and-play prospect who would offer an instant upgrade."
When thinking of other teams that could grab Amukamara before the Lions get the chance, the 49ers (No. 7), Cowboys (No. 9) and Texans (No. 11) come to mind. They key here is to see where LSU corner Patrick Peterson gets chosen.
If Peterson does not get drafted before San Francisco picks at No. 7, then Amukamara could have a descent shot at falling to the Lions. But some draft experts have said that Peterson could go as early as No. 2, which means that one of those three teams will likely scoop up Amukamara.
If the former Nebraska standout falls to Detroit, this is a no-brainer pick. He should be an instant starter the second he steps onto an NFL field. Hopefully for Detroit fans, he will be wearing Silver and Honolulu Blue.
