Detroit Lions All-Trades Mock Draft

With the NFL Draft two weeks away, it's time to be creative forecasting the Detroit Lions' haul.

The Lions have been active historically under general manager Brad Holmes in his five years at the helm. He has routinely made moves to go get players he wants, and if this is any indication then more of the same is in store for this year's draft.

Detroit is currently slated to have nine picks in the draft. However, for this excercise the team will make a trade with each of their current picks. Values for each pick will be derived from the Jimmy Johnson trade chart, which assigns a value for each draft pick.

Here's a look at what the Lions' draft haul could look like if they were to make a trade at each of their nine draft picks.

Round 1

Trade: Lions trade pick No. 17 (950) to Los Angeles Chargers in exchange for pick No. 22 (780) and pick No. 86 (160).

Pick: Olaivavega Ioane, IOL, Penn State

Ioane has been a popular target for the Lions, and in this scenario they're able to capitalize on a trade down to pick up a third-round pick and get a guy they covet. The Lions have stocked up on guard depth with additions of Juice Scruggs and Ben Bartch, but both are on expiring one-year deals.

In Ioane, they would get a player capable of competing for a starting job right away. He'd be another young player that the team can continue to rebuild their offensive line around.

Round 2

Trade: Lions trade pick No. 50 (400), pick No. 118 (58) and pick No. 157 (28.6) to Cincinnati Bengals in exchange for pick No. 41 (490) and 2027 6th-round pick.

Pick: Gabe Jacas, EDGE, Illinois

Like Ioane, Jacas is a player who has the traits the Lions covet. Because of the value of the EDGE position, the best way to ensure they can get to him would be to make a move up. While it's a costly one with three picks involved, Jacas fits the Lions mold and would be a good addition.

The Lions need to find a player who is a consistent pass-rush threat and can take some of the attention off of Aidan Hutchinson. Jacas can be that guy, as he improved greatly throughout his time with the Illini.

Round 3

Pick: Travis Burke, OT, Memphis

With Taylor Decker released, the Lions have a need at the tackle position. While they could move Penei Sewell to the left side and have confidence in Larry Borom, it would be wise to continue to invest in young tackle depth.

Burke is a massive prospect who measured in at 6-foot-8 at the Combine, and there's a lot to like about his ability to develop. With the intangible size, the Lions can entrust offensive line coach Hank Fraley to unlock some of that potential that Burke possesses while allowing him to develop in his first year behind Borom.

Round 4

Trade: Lions traded No. 118 overall pick to Cincinnati Bengals as part of deal to acquire EDGE Gabe Jacas.

Trade: Lions trade No. 128 (44) overall pick to San Francisco 49ers in exchange for pick No. 138 (37) and 2027 sixth-round pick.

Pick: Gracen Halton, DT, Oklahoma

With DJ Reader and Roy Lopez no longer with the team, the Lions have a need for an interior run-plugger for their defensive line. Halton is a big-bodied prospect who could fill that void after playing multiple spots at Oklahoma.

Halton has shown quickness off the ball, and has some pass-rush upside. He had seven tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks last season for the Sooners, and could thrive in a rotational role as a rookie.
