Trade downs for replacement third round picks will not be ridiculed. Agreed? We deserve our hopes and dreams back.

Brad’s going to ask for all of our third round picks back, and he’s going to ask for David Goddamn Putney just because he feels like it.

I bet when Brad uses the Simulators he just ends up with two or three picks.
I’d LMAO if Brad pulls a total 180 next year and trades down multiple times and ends up with several future picks for 2027 or 2028…. just to give the pundits a double barreled F-U draft.
And… I’d find it very entertaining as well….

Please let it happen. I’d happily exchange an underwhelming 2026 draft for a full year of fantasies of an extra draft capital 2027.

If he does trade any of our 2026 picks for 2027 picks they better be for a full round higher. And I don’t mean from like pick 34 to pick 28. They had better be for a pick 32 slots higher. It’s an NFL draft trade rule that must be followed.
Straight up sure. But if we’re trading pick 32 to say the Giants for pick 37 for their 2027 2nd then sign me up.

That’s probably NOT going to happen.
It almost certainly won’t be a trade with the Lions trading a late 4th round pick in 2026… to get a 3rd round pick in 2027… unless it is a comp pick in 2027… or a top contending team.
It would be highly unlikely that a team like the Browns or Titans take that trade… knowing the Lions pick (#125-#135) in 2026…a late 4th rounder… is far less valuable than a high 3rd rounder likely from those teams.
I think the BEST case scenario would be a trade down…
with Lions trading down from late 4th round… to early 6th round… in 2026….
and perhape grabbing a 4th round pick in 2027.
Life as we know it is just a simulation running in Brad Holmes brain

I would trade our entire 2026 draft for a 1st rounder in 2027.
