They thought we were gonna go OT with the first pick. When they saw we were gonna take Hutchinson, it really took the wind out of their sails. If they wanna trade up to #1, I tell them it will cost them the #2 overall pick and their first round pick in 2023. I then try to trade back yet again with another team, picking up another first round pick in 2023 and I take one of the premier WR's. If I can't trade down from #2, I still take the BAP in the draft, Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner. That guy is gonna be special. He's the best lockdown corner I've seen in many years. I then look into trading Shaquill Griffin. Either way we go, I'd stick to my board and take the BAP.

I really like the idea of trading back twice in round 1. I believe the Lions will commit the ultimate draft sin of "falling in love" with a player. Due to this unhealthy obsession with Hutchinson, they will trade up one spot and part with picks 2 and 32 in return. I don't think they'd part with next year's one, however, as that cost would be too steep.

The Jaguars then trade pick 2 to a team desperate for a quarterback. Seattle, Atlanta and Carolina are the most likely trade partners. I'm most intrigued with the Seahawks as they are in re-building mode and might see Willis as their quarterback of the future. They will need to part with picks 9, 40 and 41 which pretty much equal the value of pick 2. The Jaguars then have 7 picks in the top 70. Their draft would then look like this:

1(9): Drake London or Jameson Williams

1(32) Tyler Linderbaum (he is still here in some mocks)

2(33) Trey McBride

2(40) Boye Mafe

2(41) Chad Muma

Trade picks 65 and 70 to take best offensive lineman in the middle of round 2: Darrian Kinnard, Daniel Faalele, Zion Johnson or Jamaree Salyer.


Can something like this happen? Detroit and Seattle (or Atlanta) must both be willing trade partners, but I could see this happening. Between the 7 new free agents and these 6 draft choices, the team would be totally re-vamped.
