Six players the Detroit Lions could trade for this offseason

DeVante Parker, WR – Miami Dolphins

Parker has been a bust up to this point in his career. After being selected in the first round of 2015 draft he has not lived up to expectations. His best year, in 2016, he put up 744 yards on 56 receptions for four touchdowns.

This year he only put up 309 yards on 24 receptions and one touchdown. While he did have to manage with Brock Osweiler and Ryan Tannehill as his quarterbacks those are still underwhelming numbers.

He still has the physical attributes necessary to succeed in this league; he has just never put it all together. There is reason to believe that he can still have a positive impact on another team somewhere. He just needs the right fit.

It’s possible that fit is in Detroit. Parker has solid skills to get open downfield but has just not ever been able to do so at a high level consistently all season. He might be able to do so in Detroit.

Detroit wide receiver Kenny Golladay, and even fellow wideout Marvin Jones Jr. would likely draw priority in coverage over Parker in Detroit leaving him with match-ups against inferior opponents. In Detroit, Parker could very possibly have his most productive season to date with quarterback Matthew Stafford throwing the ball to him.

Parker has not done much so he shouldn’t cost much to acquire, especially considering his $9.3 million price tag next year on the final year of his deal.

I think that Parker could be a Lion for just one of the two sixth-round picks that Quinn has at his disposal this year, and may even be able to push it back to a conditional 2020 fifth/fourth-round draft pick depending on his production next year.
