Just when you thought it was safe to get ready for Saturday’s final four rounds of the 2023 NFL draft, the Detroit Lions pulled off yet another trade.

The Lions packaged several day 3 picks together and traded up with the Denver Broncos to No. 96 overall. With that pick, the Lions selected Western Kentucky DT Brodric Martin.

Martin is a 6-foot-5, 337-pound nose tackle who occupied the middle of the defensive line for the Hilltoppers.

Trade details

The Lions traded Nos. 122, 139 and 168 to the Broncos for No. 96.
