2018 NFL mock draft: Pride of Detroit Community mock pairings, schedule

The Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft is ready to begin. The picks will start rolling in THIS MONDAY. Thanks to everyone who submitted to be a part of this year’s mock.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a place for every single person who wanted to participate. If you weren’t chose, stick around the Pride of Detroit community. I gave priority not only to longer tenured members, but those that continue to be a contributing part of the website. Also, keep a close eye on your email. We may need a few of you to substitute if a general manager doesn’t respond in time.

As for the 30 of you who were chosen, here are the rules:

1. When you are on the clock, you will receive an email from me, along with all of the players picked before you.
2. PLEASE RESPOND ASAP with your player selection, I don’t need your write-up for the pick right away.
3. Your write-up on the picks should be no longer than 300 words long. It is due by the deadline listed below. You can go a little over or under, but please limit it to just a few paragraphs. The only exception is Alex Reno, who will be picking for the Detroit Lions.
4. Hopefully I don’t have to tell you this, but please do research on your team’s needs and scheme fits. We want this to be as realistic as possible. That doesn’t mean you can’t be bold with your pick, just make sure you give a good rationale.
5. If you need to bow out of your GM responsibilities, email me immediately. We have plenty of commenters on standby if you can’t pick.
6. Please do not reveal your selection (or anyone else’s selection) until your pick is posted on Pride Of Detroit. Each selection in the first round will get its own article.
7. For the second round, please just submit your pick. No write-up is necessary (except for you, Alex Reno).

Below are the pairings for each team. I was miraculously able to give every participant one of their top three choices. You’re welcome.

Levy’s Beard, you’re on the clock!
