When we last left the Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft, esteemed Detroit Lions interim general manager Erik Schlitt had made the semi-popular pick of Landon Dickerson with the 41st pick in the draft.
In a normal year, that would basically be the end of the mock draft. We’d throw the rest of the picks in one post, and then turn our attention to the real draft ahead. But because this year’s crew of commenters did an amazingly fast job of submitting their picks, we’re going to dip into the third round to see what Erik would do in the third round.
But before we jump into Erik’s options, let’s take a look at the 30 picks that happened between his 41st overall pick, and the Lions’ first third-round pick.
Note: To see all of the mock draft results thus far, check out our 2021 Pride of Detroit Community Mock tracker, which also has grades for each first round pick.
