NFL Draft rumors: Detroit Lions ‘aggressively’ trying to trade down in 1st round

Last week, Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn said the Lions were open for business in regards to trading down in the first round. You can never trust a general manager this late in the draft process, but now there appears to be some fire behind that smoke.

According to MMQB’s Albert Breer, the Lions are one of two teams that are expected to aggressively try to trade out of their first-round pick.

“I’m told that two teams will be aggressively looking to deal down in the first round: the Lions and Seahawks,” Breer said.
