Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes is open to the possibility of trading down out of the first round of the NFL Draft despite hosting the event, acknowledging that it may disappoint fans. With limited top draft picks, acquiring additional resources for Day 2 could benefit the team, and Holmes believes they could still secure a similar level of talent in the second round. He also recognizes that the team may not have the opportunity to select top-tier players as they have in previous drafts and advises fans to be prepared for the possibility of the Lions not making a pick on the first night of the draft.

The Green Bay Packers are considering trading down from their No. 13 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft to target a tight end such as Michael Mayer or Dalton Kincaid later in the first round.

However, finding a team willing to trade up can be a challenge.
The Detroit Lions have the option to trade up, trade down, or stay put with their sixth pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. While the team's position may incentivize them to wait for the draft to fall to them, trading up is not out of the question if general manager Brad Holmes has resolve on a player. On the other hand, trading down could be a good strategy to accumulate more picks. However, the talent drop around the sixth overall pick could challenge Detroit's ability to move down.
