Last month at the NFL owners meetings, Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes told a group of local reporters that he had already had a couple of discussions about trading out of the second overall pick. He even said that if he found a deal worth making, he would be open to pulling the trigger before the Jacksonville Jaguars made their decision with the first pick.
Flash forward to this Thursday’s pre-draft press conference with Holmes, and the Lions general manager revealed that basically nothing has emerged in the weeks following those meetings.
