NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah believes the Detroit Lions are more likely to trade down than up in this year’s draft. On the latest “40s and Free Agents,” Jeremiah pointed to Detroit’s solid roster and flexibility as reasons they could move back and collect more picks.
With no glaring needs and a deep class—especially at positions like edge rusher and corner—the Lions might find better value by sliding down the board and stockpiling talent. Brad Holmes has made smart, calculated moves in previous drafts, and this could be another strategic play to strengthen the roster long-term.
