PALM BEACH, Fla. — The NFL draft is a little more than four weeks away, but the Detroit Lions have already “had dialogue” about trading the No. 2 pick.
Lions general manager Brad Holmes acknowledged Tuesday he was open to dealing the pick, though he said talks so far have been minimal and in line with what he experienced with the No. 7 pick last spring.
“I would say right now it’s still relatively early for those discussions, but I would expect for it to heat up, especially with the pick that we have this year,” Holmes said. “Because it definitely heated up, even with us at seven last year. So I expect to have more dialogue.”
