In Sports Illustrated’s latest all-trade NFL mock draft, the Detroit Lions make a calculated move down the board—striking a deal with the Philadelphia Eagles that could give them extra draft ammo without sacrificing talent.
The deal? Detroit sends the No. 28 overall pick to Philly in exchange for picks No. 32, No. 134, and No. 161. That swap lets GM Brad Holmes slide back just four spots while picking up two additional mid-round picks—perfect for a team looking to stock up on depth in key areas.
One name to watch if this scenario plays out is Alabama’s Tyler Booker. The 6’5″, 321-pound guard started 26 games for the Crimson Tide and is widely considered one of the top interior linemen in the class. With Kevin Zeitler gone and question marks around Graham Glasgow and Christian Mahogany, Booker could step in and compete for a starting role immediately.
New offensive coordinator John Morton inherits a veteran offensive line group, but the Lions clearly want to stay dominant in the trenches. If Detroit walks out of this draft with a potential Day 1 starter and extra picks in hand, this trade could be one of Holmes’ smartest moves yet.
