NFL Draft 2011 Hears the Detroit Lions As Possible Parachute for Da'Quan Bowers' Free Fall
The knee situation with Da'Quan Bowers could drop him in the draft farther than any would have expected when the college football season ended.
Bowers, who led the nation in sacks, is currently being "sacked" by a nagging knee injury that may (or may not) require microfracture surgery.
Once considered a potential top three pick, Bowers could very well fall outside of the top ten after his latest workout.
For a look at one of our latest mock drafts to see where Bowers goes check out: Matt Miller Predicts the First Round.
He is still visiting teams, still pleading his case on his health, and one team could be very interested in him outside the top ten.
According to Peter King's Monday Morning Quarterback the Detroit Lions are very interested. King writes, "Detroit really likes Da'Quan Bowers, bad knee and all, and could take him at 13."
Simple, but effective.
The one thing to consider is the Minnesota Vikings, a division rival, picking at No. 12 immediately ahead of the Lions.
Minnesota has a major need at defensive end and this could simply be their way of saying, "if you don't draft him, we will" in an attempt to scare them into a pick.
Detroit has other major needs, most notably in the defensive backfield and the offensive line, but Bowers could be a great value if a team believes he will be healthy again.
