2023 NFL Draft As-It-Happens

Lions move up!

[Motown Bombers]

Lions move up. Trade with Packers.

Lions on the clock after trading with GB. Director in the truck made sure to cue that bumper music and go to commercial as soon as he saw that.

I wonder who the f*** this is going to be

[MichiganCardinal]

Ahead of New England and Washington........ Hooker? Branch? Benton?

[Motown Bombers]

I saw who it is on Twitter. I think most here will like it. 

[RandyMarsh]

Dare I say could it be for Hooker?

Must be a second TE.

They rehearse for transitions like this. "Lions trade! Commercials go go go!"

[buddha]

yes!  love that pick!!!!!

[buddha]

so we scouted alabama and iowa this year...

[MichiganCardinal]

Awesome pick. A+

[Motor City Sonics]

What did we trade to move up to 45? 

[Motown Bombers]

I happened to have Twitter pulled up when the trade happened and killed the suspense. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Say what you will about positional value, but we have found four starters through four picks so far.

Looks like it was 55+, not 48.

-edit- my Twitter source was wrong. 48 and 159 for 45. Good deal.

Perfect understudy for CJGJ in his one year in DET.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

I am not going to go crazy over the LaPorta pick. I think he's a nice player, just not where they picked him. I'll give Holmes the benefit though on this one.

[Motor City Sonics]

The secondary depth on this team is pretty epic.      We're adding five DBs (I am counting Tracey Walker). 

[Hongbit]

What’s not to like about Branch.  Great pick.  

Also the first guy with a low RAS that they’ve taken.

Great pick. That secondary is deep now.

[NYLion]

LOVE the Brian Branch pick. Not the most athletic but he's a playmaker and has that Dawg that this staff, and fans, will love. Valuewise this makes up for the 1st rounders. If they took Branch at 18 and Campbell at 45, it looks fine.

[RandyMarsh]

Riley Moss could still be a possibility and on the board when we pick again to keep up the Bama and Iowa streak.

It was 48.   But what else?

Wonder if there was another trade cause ESPN has TB at 48 on their graphic.
