When the 2019 regular season ended with the Detroit Lions record of 3-12-1, the silver lining was obtaining a top-three pick in the 2020 NFL Draft to address some of the team’s needs. Not only do the Lions hold the power to draft a player to make an immediate impact, but they are keeping an open mind and also could trade down to generate more value for that pick.
Recently, Lions general manager, Bob Quinn sat down with Lions multi-media reporter Tori Petry, he talked about the possibility of trading the pick. “Yeah, open to any trades,” Quinn said. “The higher up in the draft you are, the sooner those conversations usually begin.”
“I have not had any trade conversations with anybody as of yet,” Quinn continued. “Those usually tend to start in the Combine.”
With teams and players arriving at the 2020 NFL Combine today — on-field workouts begin February 27th — you can expect the rumor mill to start swirling in full force surrounding any potential moves the Lions will make at any time.
At the 2:50 mark, you can hear directly from Quinn himself discussing his stance on trading the teams pick and moving back in the 2020 NFL Draft.
