I'm a bit biased, but I feel v1 was the best of all.

It would have been interesting to compare the two with a full seven rounds and no trades. With the trades in version 1 the Darius Butler and Jarius Byrd picks helped that draft out quite a bit. But two direct hits are not bad at all in version 2. Maybe someone will grade the mock draft.

I just figure the Lions will likely be picking in the top 5 again next year and either Sam Bradford or Colt McCoy would make for a better option at QB.
