Detroit Lions mailbag: How viable are first-round trade backs for Detroit?

At this point in the drafting process, we’ve exhausted our analysis of all of the top prospects in this year’s class who could be options for the Detroit Lions at both Picks 2 and Picks 32. Chances are you’ve also shared your opinions on Aidan Hutchinson, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Travon Walker, Malik Willis, Kyle Hamilton and more.

There has also been a lot of talk about trades. Lions general manager Brad Holmes has expressed an interest in potentially trading with the runner-up overall, even noting he’s had some preliminary discussions with other teams about it. But how realistic is a relegation from the top spot? That’s one of the main themes in today’s Mailbag podcast, recorded live on the Spotify Live app on Saturday morning.

There are many facets to an NFL draft trade, and we explore them all in this week’s episode.

  • Which teams are most likely to trade up to 2?
  • Which players would the team trade for?
  • What would the Lions get for it?
  • Which players should the Lions call up when they’re in the 5-10 range? Range 10-20?
  • What about trading 32 up or down?
  • Given the question marks associated with the top players in the draft, should the Lions consider making a lower deal to trade down?

Plus a ton of other themes including

  • How much risk can the Lions take so early in Reconstruction
  • Should the Lions just try to stop building their offense?
  • Is Kyle Hamilton really an elite prospect?

Watch the entire conversation below.
