As we inch closer to the 2023 NFL Draft, you’re going to see thousands of mock drafts through multiple mock draft simulators. I’ll agree that I’m as guilty as anyone when it comes to doing them. In a majority of the mock drafts, we’ll see mock trades occur but we all know that every trade isn’t realistic.
One thing we’ve learned, is that Brad Holmes isn’t afraid of picking up the phone. In last year’s draft, he moved up 20 spots to select Jameson Williams. Could the Lions try and pull that off this year?
They could potentially trade down 20 spots or they could look to try back into the first round. They’d have to move the 48th overall pick to ensure that happens, but again, anything is possible. Speaking of possibilities, let’s take a look at some realistic trade up and down options for the Detroit Lions in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
