The Detroit Lions 2015-16 season is officially in the books after finishing the season 7-9.

The 7-9 record will have the Lions selecting in the middle of the pack in the 2016 NFL Draft. The first 20 picks of teams that didn't make the playoffs were released Sunday evening; The Lions will select 16th overall.

Many call the NFL Draft the Lions Super Bowl, which I don't really agree with since many of their picks don't wind up panning out for the team.

The draft order has been set and that means mock drafts have begun.

CBSSports.com has the Lions selecting Taylor Decker, OT, Ohio State.

SBNation.com has the Lions selecting A'Shawn Robinson, DT, Alabama.

Bleacher Report has the Lions selecting Jarran Reed, DL, Alabama.

1 Tennessee Titans
2 Cleveland Browns
