For Detroit Lions GM Brad Holmes to truly win the 2021 NFL Draft, in my humble opinion, he has to find a way to trade down.
On Friday, Holmes met with the media and he said he is “prepared” and “willing” to move up or down in the upcoming draft.
“At 7 we do have cluster of players that we’re comfortable picking, but at the same time we will be very prepared and also willing to move in either direction,” Holmes said.
Brad Holmes says Lions have had discussions about trades, no surprise there, every team does. "At 7 we do have cluster of players that we’re comfortable picking, but at the same time we will be very prepared and also willing to move in either direction."

Keep in mind that there are plenty of smoke signals sent out at this time of year but it is interesting that Holmes claims he is “prepared” and also “willing” to trade up in the draft.
