Summary

Its time for a listener favorite, our annual 2021 NFL Consensus Mock Draft! Chris and Jeff Risdon are joined by Erik Schlitt and Scott Bischoff to take you through the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft and build our consensus picks for each team. Detroit Lions Podcast Mocks The Entire First Round Where will Justin Fields land? Is Trey Lance a favorite for the Detroit Lions, or will Kyle Pitts drop to them? There’s been a lot of discussion of Mac Jones moving up the board, could the Lions trade back for more value? Chris has been all over Jaylen Waddle, but a lot of folks are high on Devonta Smith. All questions will be answered as we walk you through our 2021 NFL Mock Draft, consensus style. One thing for certain, Trevor Lawrence will be first overall. This off-season has set the Detroit Lions up for what they are calling their retooling of the team under new leadership, from the top down. With Matthew Stafford heading to the Los Angeles Rams and Jared Goff coming to Detroit, the Lions will have a new identity on offense. After last year’s dumpster fire, they desperately need one on defense. The new management team has been making good moves thus far, but their off-season prowess will be fully judged on their performance in the 2021 NFL Draft. There is a lot at stake, we’ll see if they are up to the task. Big News On YouTube! We’ve launched a new series starring a number of talented personalities you’ve seen on our shows at various times.
