3 moves the Detroit Lions should consider with the No. 2 pick
The Detroit Lions are in a good position, holding the second overall pick in the draft, and here are three options they should consider.
The NFL Draft is just under a month away, and as usual with the Detroit Lions it’s a time for fans to hope for a player who will help to change the trajectory of the franchise. After a season where the Lions finished 3-13-1, there is much to be desired. There are many directions that Detroit could go in this draft. When you finish with that kind of record, there are a lot of holes to fill.
There are some elite offensive line prospects at the top of this class, but that might be the strongest area on the Lions roster. However, there is still a whole lot of talent in this draft. If head coach Dan Campbell is looking to continue beefing up the trenches of this team, this is a good draft to do it.
While there is a lot of talent at the top of this draft, there seem to be a few moves that make some sense for this front office to make. While quarterback may seem like the most glaring issue for the Lions to figure out, this may not be the draft to do it if you buy the consensus that it’s a very weak class of signal callers. General manager Brad Holmes has been publicly open about the idea of trading down from the second overall pick, dating back to the Senior Bowl, as if he’d say anything else though. Shutting the door on anything is bad business.
With plenty of options to think about, let’s look at three moves the Detroit Lions should consider with the No. 2 overall pick.
