Ok, I know I just did a Detroit Lions mock draft a couple weeks ago at the Senior Bowl. The plan was to wait until after the combine to do the next one, but with all the talk from Brad Holmes about trading out of the first round (He teased it twice last week) I had to do a mock that featured the Lions doing just that.
I used the Pro Football Focus mock draft simulator and after striking out on some trades, I found a trade partner in the Carolina Panthers. A team that doesn’t currently have a first round pick. Here’s the deal we agreed upon:
- Lions get: 33rd pick and 101st pick
- Panthers get: 29th pick and the 2025 fourth-round pick that the Lions got from the Eagles in the D’Andre Swift trade
One more thing. Before we get into the draft, here’s what the first round looked like when the Lions traded out.
