Everybody loves a trade down
Color Rush Ty Johnson Jersey , but a true hero trades down twice."What’s better than a trade down in the NFL Draft? Two trade downs! That’s exactly what Benjamin Solak of The Draft Network proposed for the Detroit Lions in the site’s final mock draft of the season, released on Wednesday. First, the Lions traded down with the Bengals so that Cincinnati could grab the third quarterback off the board (Dwayne Haskins). Sitting at 11, the Lions then traded down again, this time with the ever-popular prediction of swapping picks with the Falcons at 14. Atlanta gets their guy in Ed Oliver, and the Lions still somehow manage to grab Iowa tight end T.J. Hockenson.Unfortunately, Solak doesn’t provide trade terms in his mock
Cheap Ty Johnson Jersey , so let’s break down what exactly that may look like. A trade from eight to 11 is about the equivalent of a mid-to-late third-round pick. The Bengals only have a high third-round pick (72 overall), so let’s say Detroit picks that up, but sends their fourth (111) to Cincy, as well. Dropping 11 to 14 requires identical compensation. Atlanta has a pick towards the middle of the third round (79), but that, too, would like require a little more kickback for that pick. The Lions’ fifth and first sixth-round pick should do it. So in this scenario

Detroit Free Press’ Dave Birkett is in Nashville talking to some members of the 2019 NFL Draft class. Birkett had an interesting conversation with Michigan linebacker Devin Bush, who said the Lions view him as a middle linebacker, should Detroit go in that direction. Birkett discusses what that means for Jarrad Davis.Kelly Stafford was back in the hospital on Wednesday, as she tries to cope with the pain of her brain surgery last week: Da’Shawn Hand and Zach Zenner talked about their very different draft day experiences on the latest episode of Tori Petry’s podcast. Another day, another NFL insider hearing rumors that the Lions may take a quarterback early in this year’s draft: The Detroit News’ Justin Rogers had an interesting conversation with former Lions coach Wayne Fontes about their decision to draft Barry Sanders 30 years ago. Happy Draft Eve! Here are a couple of normies trying to run the 20/40-yard dash: After the Lions lost to the Jets on the first Monday night of the regular season, Jets linebacker Darron Lee said the team’s defense knew what was coming whenever the Lions had the ball.The Lions lost again this Sunday as the Cowboys rallied to drive 55 yards to set up a game-winning field goal as time expired. Those 55 yards were the last of the 414 yards that the Lions picked up in the 26-24 win and guard Zack Martin didn’t sound too different from Lee when he discussed the reasons for that success.“They’re a good defense, but they play the same thing

Detroit Free Press. “They don’t give you a lot of different blitzes or looks. We pretty much knew what they were going to line up in and we had call-it-and-run-it plays and we executed them.”Dallas’ offensive output was its best of the season, so their knowledge of what would be in front of them was put to good use. We’ll see if the Texans are a bit stealthier next Sunday night.
