Teams like the New York Giants, New Orleans Saints, and Pittsburgh Steelers were identified as quarterback-needy candidates by ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter on Monday. Someone from that group might be looking to move up in an effort to avoid competition from the Cleveland Browns, the team that currently holds the No. 33 pick and could also be targeting a quarterback should they not choose one with their first-round pick at No. 2.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4y6F9w\">Using the Fitzgerald-Spielberger NFL Draft Trade Value Chart, here are a few potential trade-back scenarios for the Lions should any of these rumors come to fruition.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,x_0,y_40,w_4811,h_2706\/c_fill,w_720,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/ImagnImages\/mmsport\/196\/01jre9xymqgfsvzsskbq.jpg\" alt=\"Lions Trade Up to No. 8 in 2025 NFL Draft in Surprise Projected Trade\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"7Ubfhw\"><strong>Scenario 1: Trade 6 spots back with Giants<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"message-list_1745254667.138179\"><strong>Lions get:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"ISXLKc\">Pick 34<\/li>\n<li id=\"mM6oCD\">Pick 105 (fourth round)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"aobc6e\"><strong>Giants get: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"J2jJRB\">Pick 28<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"K48c40\"><strong>Total net value: +544<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"gF897e\">This one is pretty straightforward and would benefit the Lions from the standpoint of picking up an early Day 3 pick in this year\u2019s draft. Detroit also currently holds pick No. 102, so another pick near that compensatory pick could provide them with the draft capital to potentially move up on Day 2, something Brad Holmes did most recently in 2023 with the Brodric Martin selection.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"PpQbdC\"><strong>Scenario 2: Giants trade back with future picks<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"3voKgm\"><strong>Lions get: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"d4eQZP\">Pick 34<\/li>\n<li id=\"LIHZTD\">Pick 154 (fifth round)<\/li>\n<li id=\"qoEjVZ\">2026 sixth-round pick<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"l4jcPt\"><strong>Giants get:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"B7ASO3\">Pick 28<\/li>\n<li id=\"FU2M04\">PIck 228 (seventh round)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"uMOy6T\"><strong>Total net value: +423<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"60OgNM\">In this scenario, Detroit opts to fill that gap between picks No. 130 and No. 196 with the Giants pick in the middle of the fifth round. The Lions also get an extra Day 3 pick in next year\u2019s draft that could be used to recoup the loss of their own sixth-round pick in 2026\u2014sent away in last year\u2019s trade for Za\u2019Darius Smith\u2014or it could come in handy at this year\u2019s trade deadline.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"l0Lfun\"><strong>Scenario 3: Trade back 12 spots with Saints<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"bRttBt\"><strong>Lions get: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"lVnWWa\">Pick 40<\/li>\n<li id=\"x38CRp\">Pick 184 (sixth round)<\/li>\n<li id=\"kjQZ7W\">2026 third-round pick<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"jJS0jK\"><strong>Saints get: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"VGMVhx\">Pick 28<\/li>\n<li id=\"N4P8iW\">Pick 228 (seventh round)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"Ep8aTe\"><strong>Total net value: +689<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"axYhd1\">Similar to the scenario outlined above, but considering the drop from 28 to 40 is a bit more substantial, the Lions add something a little more valuable for their trouble with a future third-round pick.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"E5EuQw\"><strong>Scenario 4: Future assets for Saints pick<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mANwbC\"><strong>Lions get: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"wulNDc\">Pick 40<\/li>\n<li id=\"hgrDkg\">2026 second-round pick<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"wf5tmh\"><strong>Saints get: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"ssTK3i\">Pick 28<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"jMDNsd\"><strong>Total net value: +858<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"4QLxSh\">If Detroit is in a place where it\u2019s quality over quantity with their draft picks, and all of their first-round graded players are off the board, they have a chance to slide back 12 spots and pick up a valuable second-round pick in next year\u2019s draft.<\/p>\n<p id=\"SKWiyN\">The Steelers traded away their second-round pick, No. 52, to the Seattle Seahawks for DK Metcalf, so there isn\u2019t much of a match when it comes to exploring trade-back scenarios with Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ctxvpT\">Which of these trades would you prefer?
