What's going on, Lions fans, welcome to the prod of Detroit PODCast. You're home for all the latest and greatest Lions news, updates, analysis, and so much more. We have a very, very special episode of the podcast for you guys today. We got Jeremy to do something that he just doesn't really like to do. And as much as he likes to try to avoid it, as much as he likes to talk down about it, it's like Thanos. It's pretty much inevitable. It was going to happen at some point. We got Jeremy to do a mock draft. The only downside to this is that he doesn't get to do it live and you guys don't actually get to hear him suffer through each and every pick. But nonetheless, all three of us have done mock draft drafts. We're going to go through

0:54.4

that throughout this podcast and give the various draft scenarios that we went through and kind of

0:59.0

just discuss that and discuss how likely it is that the Lions kind of do this as draft night is

1:04.0

quickly approaching this week. I'm your host, Miko. You can find me over at Twitter at at the Miko Scott.

1:09.5

Join once again by by by amazing co-host. First and foremost, we have your senior editor over at Pr at the Miko Scott joined once again by by amazing co-host first and

1:12.2

foremost we have your senior editor over at pride of Detroit.com Ryan Matthews at Ryan underscore POD.

1:17.8

Ryan, how are you feeling? You looking really nice in your little, what is that, a track jacket?

1:21.9

Yeah, it is. Thank you, Miko. I appreciate it. I'm doing well. How are you?

1:26.1

I'm doing, listen, I'm exhausted. Three

1:28.7

birthday parties in one weekend is not advised. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it for. Otherwise, I would

1:33.6

have attended Jeremy's birthday party. But that was just, like I said, three, three I was tapped out.

1:38.4

Also joining us today. Could you take those three birthday age totals and would they be more or less than

1:43.9

Jeremy's age?

1:45.5

One of those birthday parties alone is literally half of Jeremy's age now right now.

1:51.6

So yeah, no, easily, easily Jeremy's safe in that regard.

1:55.6

I actually could probably add the other birthday parties up and, you know, or two of the birthday

1:59.9

parties up and get to, like, still not get to my grandma's age. Also joining us today is your editor-in-chief over at pride of Detroit.com as well as a beatwriter for the Detroit Lions because, again, we are going to make sure that people know this from now on when they listen to this podcast. Jeremy Reisman at Detroit Online over there on Twitter. Hello, guys.

2:18.0

How are you feeling?

2:19.1

I'm glad you didn't refer to me as a quadrigenarian now. Appreciate that. I may have made that word about, but I may have been. I was going to say. But yeah. I mean, how does it feel to be a little, a year older? A little wiser, hopefully. We'll see. I think I'm going to find out if that's true in the comment sections of this of this podcast. Because as I've found out in the past couple weeks here, not that it's new news, but people have very strong reactions to mock draft. And given that I am not one that likes to do this a whole lot, I'm interested to see the feedback that I get.

2:48.8

Well, I can at least say, as someone who has seen your

2:50.9

mock draft, I can at least say that you didn't rage bait anybody because you could have just, you know, went full tilt and then just tried to make everybody upset and make this a really miserable experience for everyone. But I can say for our audience, before we get into it, you did actually try. And I think you actually put together a pretty good mock draft. I think we all put together really good mock drafts and I can't wait to kind of break them all down. I think before we

3:11.2

get to that, though, I think we should probably explain the parameters in which we did our mock drafts,
