Five Lions Who Could Be Involved in Draft Day Trades
1. Hendon Hooker
Hendon Hooker, the Lions’ 2023 third-round pick, may be on the trading block due to his demotion and the team’s signing of Teddy Bridgewater. Hooker could net a fourth-round pick for a quarterback-needy team.
2. Jeff Okudah
Jeff Okudah, the third-year cornerback, has struggled with injuries and inconsistent play, making him a potential trade candidate. With the Lions’ depth at cornerback, Okudah could be dealt to a team seeking secondary help.
3. D’Andre Swift
D’Andre Swift’s future with the Lions is uncertain, and the team’s depth at running back could make him expendable. Swift’s value lies in his versatility and pass-catching ability, making him an attractive option for teams seeking a playmaker.
4. Aidan Hutchinson
Aidan Hutchinson, the talented pass-rusher, could be a trade candidate due to the Lions’ defensive line depth and potential scheme changes. Teams seeking a young, athletic edge rusher might be interested in acquiring Hutchinson.
5. Jameson Williams
Jameson Williams, the speedy wide receiver, has seen his development slowed by injuries. With the Lions’ crowded receiver room, Williams could be traded to a team seeking a deep threat.
