Report: Detroit Lions tried to trade up for LSU WR Ja'Marr Chase at No. 4

Brad Holmes has made it known he is willing to trade up in the NFL draft for the right player, and according to ESPN that player might be a wide receiver.

ESPN reported Wednesday the Lions "tried to trade up to No. 4 to get" LSU receiver Ja'Marr Chase last week, but that the Atlanta Falcons' asking price was too high.

A high-ranking NFL executive told the Free Press previously that he expected the Lions to take Chase if Chase made it to No. 7, a sentiment that Chase's former high school coach, Jay Roth, also shared with the Free Press.
