NFL Draft rumors: Detroit Lions ‘making calls’ to explore trade up
Pride Of Detroit • • sports
Key Points:
- The Detroit Lions are reportedly exploring the possibility of trading up from their 17th overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, as they seek to secure their preferred offensive tackle amid anticipated early demand for the position.
- Teams are reportedly considering moving ahead of Detroit to select offensive tackles, which may prompt the Lions to act proactively to avoid missing out on key players like Kadyn Proctor.
- While general managers typically inquire about trade options before the draft to maintain flexibility, Lions GM Brad Holmes has a history of trading up, having done so seven times in the past two drafts, including twice in the first round.
- Despite speculation, these trade discussions may simply be part of standard draft preparation, and the Lions’ final decision will become clear once the draft begins.
