In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case are joined by Jeff “The Riz” Risdon to talk Lions draft possibilities/needs, likely picks, smokescreens as well as making our own pick predictions.  We also bring the details about the Detroit Lions Podcast 2018 NFL Draft Party, break down the newly released Lions schedule, and a whole lot more.

We jump out of the gate with our ongoing draft coverage and analysis at this, the last stop prior to draft day. The Riz talks about the Lions positional needs and gaps they are looking to fill. After talking through these opportunities, he spend some time sharing some of his insider info about where (and where not) to expect to see a RB in the Lions draft plans.  Chris then starts to talk about smokescreens and his level of trust of GM talk at this time of the year (hint: his opinion isn’t very high).

Any discussion of the NFL draft would never be complete unless we reminded our listeners about our yearly NFL Draft Party.  This year we are really upping our game for this broadcast. We’re doing something that hasn’t been done before, and we trust that you folks will really love it. Make sure to join us at 8pm EST at the Detroit Lions Podcast website or via our YouTube page to join us.  We’ve got some big-time guests that you won’t want to miss, and a production that will blow your mind…

Lastly, we break down the Lions recently released game schedule, and some of us think it will be more of an issue than others. We also discuss a tweet about this topic that got The Riz in trouble…
