The Detroit Lions have been making waves in the world of sports recently, especially in regards to the 2023 NFL Draft. With two first-round picks, they are expected to make some big moves (usatoday.com). The Lions’ first-round draft picks are predicted to be made sometime during the evening hours of Draft Day (prideofdetroit.com). It has been reported that the Lions have already made calls to potentially trade down from their 18th pick; however, the team has also made the decision to trade away their No. 6 pick to the Arizona Cardinals (si.com).
One of the Lions’ first-round draft picks was spent on linebacker Jack Campbell (si.com). While they did not use their No. 6 pick, the team hopes that the move to trade down and acquire other picks will improve their overall draft selections in the future. This is all part of the Lions’ overarching goal, which is to add pieces to their team that will make them a playoff contender (theathletic.com).
Fans of the Lions are eager to see how their 2023 NFL Draft selections, including Devon Witherspoon, Bryan Bresee, and Darnell Washington, will help the team rebuild (lionswire.usatoday.com). The team’s general manager, Brad Holmes, has been tight-lipped about further moves, but fans can expect to see more draft picks during the upcoming NFL drafts.
