Lions GM Bob Quinn said the team is “open” to trading their 8th overall pick.
“If I could move back a few spots, add a great player and a pick, that’d be great,” the general manager continued. “People out there listening, I’m open for business.” The Lions are a potential trading partner for quarterback-needy teams (Bengals, Dolphins, Redskins) looking to jump the Denver Broncos who own the 10th overall pick. The Lions have been mocked edge rushers, tight ends, and offensive lineman, but they’d still be able to get one of the top prospects if they slid down a half dozen picks. This strategy makes a lot of sense on paper.
