Detroit Lions - Team Notes

Mocking Through it: A Quarantine Journey (With Mock Drafts!).
Let?s get through quarantine together and sane, so if we have to mock draft a thousand times then we?ll do it.
POD

I?ll be using SEVEN of my favorite mock draft sims to try to find the best results for the 2020 Detroit Lions. The rules will be simple. I?ll be attempting to maximize the number of needs that I fill in each draft while following a few basic guidelines.

Trades will be used when available and will be as realistic as possible.
Picks will be made based on the relative value of the simulator that was used. So no James Proche in the third just because I want him, he?s got to both be available and valued similar to each pick I take him in.

I?m basing each pick on what I think the team could do in any given draft scenario. Not what I ?Would do? or what I think ?Will Happen?. Just for clarity.
No James Proche. Getting my second mention of him in, I?m skipping out on Proche today. It?d get boring if he were in every one, and on that note...
Trying to do something different in each. While third overall doesn?t offer much in terms of versatility, I?m trying to do something different overall in each mock draft.

So after you?ve checked these out, I?m asking you to spend some of your valuable quarantine with me and to try out some fun mock draft simulators to pass the time. You can skip rule four if you like, that one is pretty much exclusive to me.

Anyway, let?s dive right in. I?ll link to all of the Mock Draft Simulators here and provide screen grabs where available so you can see the whole thing.

Pride Of Detroit Lions Podcast: Detroit Lions draft preview with Chris Burke: What if Okudah isn?t there after a trade down? 67 minutes.
We get Burke?s perspective on the best NFL Draft fits for Detroit.

It?s about the time of year where you get sick of hearing your own voice not only because you?re stuck at home with a small group of people, but because we?ve now been talking about the NFL Draft for a good four months. It?s exhausting, and if I?m tired of my own voice, I know y?all are probably sick of me, too.

This week on the PODcast, we brought in very special guest Chris Burke from The Athletic Detroit to help mix things up. Burke, who you may also know from the ?Prospect to Pros? NFL Draft podcast with Dane Brugler, provided insight on how the Lions? offseason has shaken out, what they may do in the upcoming draft, and some late-round prospects that could be a good fit with this coaching staff.

We also face an uncomfortable question: What if the Lions trade down, but Ohio State cornerback Jeff Okudah isn?t there anymore? What then?

All of that and plenty, plenty more on this week?s special PODcast.

This week on the PODcast:
Chris Burke gives his thoughts on the Lions? offseason thus far. Did they actually get any better?

How likely is a trade down? Who are the most likely candidates?

Burke and the gang talk about a nightmare scenario: What if the Lions trade down to five or six and Jeff Okudah isn?t there anymore? What?s Plan B?

Chris weighs in on Isaiah Simmons? fit in Detroit.

Day 2 talk: Are the Lions going to take a guard? If so, who?

What kind of wide receivers are the Lions looking for?

How likely are the Lions to take a punter? Quarterback?

If the Lions were to have the top four picks in the draft, who would you pick?
