Lions' General Manager Brad Holmes has expressed openness to trading the No. 28 pick in the NFL Draft. Despite his willingness to make a deal, Holmes revealed that the team has not received any trade inquiries for the first-round selection. During a pre-draft press conference, Holmes stated that while the team is interested in trading back, it would only consider doing so if the compensation offered is deemed appropriate.
As the draft approaches, the lack of trade interest in the Lions' No. 28 pick suggests a currently tepid market for such transactions. Holmes remains open to potential trade scenarios but has not yet engaged in any discussions with other teams seeking to move up in the draft. The situation may evolve as teams finalize their draft strategies and identify specific players they deem worthy of trading up for, potentially altering the trade landscape in the days leading up to the draft.
