The 2020 NFL Draft is nearly upon us and after what seems like an infinite amount of speculation and mock drafts, we will soon know what the Detroit Lions will do with the No. 3 overall pick.
I admit that I look at WAY too many mock drafts but when it comes to putting my own together, my limit is one.
As you are about to see, I have the Lions trading the No. 3 pick to the Los Angeles Chargers for the No. 6 pick. Though I do not want to get into exact trade details, I would imagine the Lions would also get the Chargers second-round pick and possibly a mid-round pick in either this year’s or next year’s draft. [No, the Lions are not getting a big haul like many believe they will)
That being said, let’s take a look at how I think the 1st Round of the 2020 NFL Draft will play out.
