Draft Buzz: Could Chiefs Make Lions Offer to Trade Down?

The Detroit Lions may find themselves in the advantageous position of having a selection in the first-round many other NFL teams could covet.

With the Kansas City Chiefs picking at No. 31, they may be realistically interested in dealing with a team like the Lions to move up just a couple of spots.

According to NFL insider Dianna Russini, in her recent draft buzz post, "The Chiefs could be interested in moving up a couple of slots, depending on the price."

Detroit picks at No. 28, but the Chiefs also have similar needs along the offensive and defensive lines.

Detroit's general manager Brad Holmes could be willing to move down just a couple of spots, if a player they believe they can still target a coveted player.

A simple swap could see the Lions swapping the 28th overall pick in exchange for picks 31 and 133 (fourth round). However, a more complex deal could see the Lions swapping picks 28 and 102 for picks 31, 95 and 133.

In the latter scenario, the Chiefs could move up in the first round and swap spots with Detroit in the third round. Additionally, the Lions would gain an extra fourth-round pick to even the value of the deal.
