The day Lions fans have nicknamed 'their Super Bowl' has finally arrived.

This evening the Lions hold the 8th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.


NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah has filled out his final mock, and has an interesting move for our Lions.

He has the team trading the 8th pick to the Houston Texans.

According to Jeremiah:

PROJECTED TRADE WITH LIONS. There are a lot of rumblings about Detroit and Buffalo looking to trade down, and the Texans are desperate for tackle help. They could afford to part with one of their two second-round picks this year (they hold Picks 54 and 55) as well as a Day 2 pick next year to get up into this range.

Because of that proposed trade, the Lions would have the 23rd overall selection and would take Byron Murphy - CB from Washington.

PROJECTED TRADE WITH TEXANS. Detroit has spent a lot of time evaluating cornerbacks leading up to the draft. They land my top-rated CB after trading down.

Is this a trade you would like to see the Lions make?
