Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn has made no secret of his desire to trade down from the No. 8 spot in next week's NFL draft and acquire more picks, and on Thursday he was equally as clear that he does not expect to move up for one of the draft's consensus best players.

"There's a couple players right at the top that you obviously would love to have," Quinn said. "I just don’t think I have enough ammunition to get up there and I think, like I said previously, I’d rather move back a couple spots if anything.
