Detroit Lions trade for 1st Round pick, former DPOY in recent NFL Mock Draft

Over the past couple of months, there has been some interesting 2021 NFL Mock Drafts drop. Some of those mocks have made me shake my head because the Detroit Lions selected a wide receiver or cornerback, while others got me a bit excited because they included the Lions trading the No. 7 overall pick to acquire more draft capital. *Note: Trading down from No. 7 is the way to go.

But not a single mock draft I have come across got me as excited as the one that Kyle Crabbs of The Draft Network released last  Tuesday (Mock Draft 6.0).

Not only does Crabbs have the Lions trading out of the No. 7 slot, but he has them acquiring an additional 1st Round pick and the former NFL Defensive Player of the Year in the process.

Check out this trade with the New England Patriots which includes the Lions landing CB Stephon Gilmore.

Detroit Lions Receive

No. 15 overall pick in 2021 NFL Draft

No. 96 overall pick in 2021 NFL Draft

Patriots 1st Round pick in 2022

CB Stephon Gilmore

New England Patriots Receive

No. 7 overall pick in 2021 NFL Draft

With the No. 7 overall pick, the Patriots select QB Justin Fields out of Ohio State.

With the No. 15 overall pick, the Lions select Heisman Trophy winner WR DeVonta Smith out of Alabama.

Now, if you have read my work, you are well aware of the fact that I absolutely hate taking a wide receiver too high in the NFL Draft, and in this situation, I would quickly take DE Kwity Paye out of Michigan, but considering the overall return package from the trade listed above, I could give Lions GM Brad Holmes a break.

Gilmore is clearly past his prime but he would give the Lions a veteran CB to help continue to show Jeff Okudah and whoever else the Lions draft the ropes in the NFL.

Nation, what do you think?

    • No way Holmes only knows the phone number to LA Rams so unless the trade goes through the rams team office no way does Holmes deal with another team to make trade
      NEW england would have to tradr with LA first then have LA trade the trade back to Det with LA getting a slice of action.

    • I NEO right? LIONS WOULD BE OUT OF THEIR minds to salary cap themselves into a corner and pass up such a talented Rookie QB.

      In my Nfl mock drafts a qb needy team like NE would gladly offer entire years worth of draft capital to secure a 5 year contract rookie scaled QB.

      This would be 2020 all over again where we missed drafting a good QB at 3 to take a hurt CB instead.

  1. I wish……………………….this is a dream scenario, we would never get this much for the 7th pick

  2. Oh heck no Lions in my mock drafts could get the entire NE next 3 years of picks from first round all the way thru the sixth round in years 2021,2022, and 2023 for the rights to Justin Fields and various teams would make such a trade for such a potentially talented QB.
