This is how I could see the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft playing out. I only allowed for one trade, and that involves our beloved Lions. Take it with a grain of salt, it's always fun to try and project what is undoubtedly one of the most unpredictable annual events. Who knew Aaron Rodgers wanted out of Green Bay on the afternoon of the Draft? No matter how it plays out, let's just hope that in the end we can all agree that the Lions just got better!
