Detroit Lions' future draft picks after the trade deadline

Another NFL trade deadline has come and gone, with some big names on the move, such as cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts and wide receiver Rashid Shaheed to the Seattle Seahawks. Meanwhile, the Detroit Lions had a quiet trade deadline, standing pat amid various injury and performance concerns for the Super Bowl contender. This shouldn't be too much of a shock, given general manager Brad Holmes' drafting proficiency and having invested a bulk of the future cap space in the core roster. Still, it's a frustrating outcome for panicking fans who see a Lombardi trophy slipping through the Lions' hands. Going forward, the Lions have plenty of draft capital to work with for offseason and draft moves. It's worth noting that teams cannot trade picks more than three drafts in advance, so a 2028 draft pick would have been the latest the Lions could've dealt during the trade deadline. There's also the possibility that the Lions are awarded picks in the future through compensatory means. 1st Round (Lions)
