Detroit Lions - Team Notes

Pride Of Detroit Lions Podcast: Evaluating the Detroit Lions trade up, trade down options. 65 minutes.
Will the Lions move in this year?s draft? If so, what would those trades look like?

Some may say it?s a waste of time to speculate whether the Detroit Lions will trade up or down in the NFL Draft, but this is draft season. We?re all wasting time with mock drafts and big boards and draft simulators.

Last week?s comments from Bob Quinn stating very openly and very specifically that he?d love to trade down were very odd, and the sparked the main topic of this week?s PODcast. Are the Lions going to trade up or down? If they do, what would a theoretical trade look like, and would we be cool with it?

The PODcast crew looks through all of the scenarios and potential trade partners to strike a deal with. Also, we address the Lions signing of C.J. Anderson and the death of the AAF.

This week on the PODcast:
C.J. Anderson signs with the Lions. Good move? Great move?
Lions signed Anderson for just $1.5 million: Were they too stingy? Should they have gone after a more costly backup running back?

Was the Malcolm Brown signing attempt really a galaxy brain move from Bob Quinn?

RIP AAF.

Bob Quinn wants to trade down. We want the Lions to trade down. Fans want the Lions to trade down. But how would that actually happen?

Is there any scenario or player in which you?d be cool with the Lions trading up?

The Athletic?s 7-round mock hits all of the Lions? pressing needs.
Hard to be upset with this mock.

It?s rare that you see an NFL mock draft that makes everyone happy, and I?m sure this will be no exception. However, Dane Brugler of The Athletic put together a full seven-round mock draft for all 32 teams this week, and I have to imagine many Detroit Lions fans would jump at the opportunity to make this a reality.

Brugler not only managed to hit on all of the Lions? most pressing needs early?he gets a pass rusher, cornerback and guard in the first three rounds?but he manages to fill those positions without a reach in talent. Take a look at his haul:

Though some may argue about the first-round pick in Montez Sweat?a player that has become very divisive among draft experts?it?s hard to argue against the rest of the picks. The Lions even get their tight end depth with LSU?s Foster Moreau in the fifth?excellent value for the extremely athletic run blocker.

Throw in some serious backup quarterback competition and a potential high-ceiling, small-school prospect receiver in Travis Fulgham, and it?s hard to be too upset with this mock draft.
