Summary

Mock Draft 2.0 is here — and this time, we’re getting aggressive. On this episode of Before the Roar, we run a full Detroit Lions 7-round mock draft with trades, trying to think like GM Brad Holmes every step of the way. That means moving up, trading back, and targeting value while building out the roster. We break down every move, explain the logic behind each trade, and discuss how each pick fits the current Detroit Lions roster and long-term vision. From bold moves early to smart value late, this is our most strategic mock draft yet. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

1:12.7

Last week, Morgan and I did our first mock draft where we kind of just did more or less like what we thought the Lions would do or at least what we wanted the Lions to do.

1:21.3

It's probably the better way of saying that.
