Updating the Lions 2020 draft picks after Darius Slay and Duron Harmon trades

In the last 24 hours, the Detroit Lions draft picks have seen quite a bit of movement, losing one pick and acquiring three in return.

The Lions traded Darius Slay to the Eagles and acquired a third and fifth-round pick, while NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported the terms of trade the Lions made with the New England Patriots for safety Duran Harmon.

In the Slay trade, the Lions saw two picks come in, picks No. 85 and No.166 overall.

And according to Peliserro, the Lions surrendered a fifth-round pick (No. 172) — ironically the one they acquired in the Quandre Diggs to Seattle Seahawks deal — and in return, they received Harmon and a seventh-round pick (No. 235) from the Patriots.

After these moves, the Lions hold nine picks in the 2020 NFL draft. Here are their draft pick slots:

  • Round 1 (No. 3 overall)
  • Round 2 (No. 35)
  • Round 3 (No. 67)
  • Round 3 (No. 85)
  • Round 4 (No. 109)
  • Round 5 (No. 149)
  • Round 5 (No. 166)
  • Round 6 (No. 182)
  • Round 7 (No. 235)
