Third time’s a charm, so it has to be right, right?
Or maybe three strikes and I’m out of the mock drafting business.
Whatever the case, I dropped my third mock draft of the spring on Friday, and while I gave the DetroitLions a third different player at No. 20, I ended up giving them a defensive lineman for the third straight time.
Harold Landry, the pass rusher from Boston College, was my first mock draft pick for the Lions in February, but I have him ticketed for the teens now.
Maurice Hurst, the Michigan defensive tackle, was my second mock draft pick last month, but Hurst’s heart condition scares me a little too much to think the Lions are going to spend their first-round pick on him Thursday.
