New Video Reveals Shocking Detroit Lions Draft Night Trade Details
New behind the scenes footage revealed the Lions nearly completed two draft day trades with the Ravens.
The Detroit Lions were apparently far more aggressive during the 2026 NFL Draft than many fans initially realized. And now, thanks to a behind-the-scenes draft video released by the Baltimore Ravens, Lions fans have a much clearer picture of just how close general manager Brad Holmes came to pulling off a major trade-up. Ultimately, Detroit backed out.
But not before making at least two separate trade proposals to Baltimore. Lions nearly moved up three spots in first round According to the Ravens’ draft room footage , Detroit offered the following package to move from No. 17 overall to No.
14 overall. Lions Receive Ravens Receive Pick No. 14 Pick No.
17 Pick No. 118 2027 third round pick The proposed move would have allowed Detroit to jump ahead of several teams while targeting a player higher on their draft board. During the video, Ravens Vice President of Football Nick Matteo can be heard calling the Lions as the clock ticked down.
