2018 NFL Draft: Mock Draft 3.0 for Detroit Lions
Take back the clocks to the release of the last mock draft I published where the pseudo-Lions traded up to the fourth overall pick in the draft. It cost a ton of draft capital to move up just sixteen spots in the first round to have the chance to take NC State’s Bradley Chubb, but the point of that mock wasn’t about getting Chubb; the point of “Mock Draft 2.0” was to answer the question of just how costly it is to move up in the NFL Draft, and come to find out, it’s more than just about anybody is willing to pay, no matter the player you think the Lions should move up to draft—not Bradley Chubb, not Saquon Barkley, not anyone.
