With the 2024 NFL Draft just days away, one of the hot-button topics surrounding the Detroit Lions is whether they will stay put and pick at No. 29 or make a trade. Lions general manager Brad Holmes is aggressive in acquiring players, and he has used his available trade capital to make several draft day moves in each of his three previous drafts.
In 2021, Holmes made one draft day trade with the Cleveland Browns to move up and acquire Derrick Barnes in the fourth round. In 2022, Holmes moved up again, trading with the Minnesota Vikings to grab Jameson Williams in the first round, then traded with the Philadelphia Eagles in the fifth round, using the acquired pick to add Malcolm Rodriguez.
