Lions looking to trade up, eyeing Stephon Gilmore

| Tags: , ,

The Lions are seriously pursuing options to trade up in Thursday’s NFL draft, and multiple team executives believe South Carolina cornerback Stephon Gilmore would be a prime target.

Multiple team executives said Thursday that Detroit is one of a few teams looking to move up. The Lions, who currently hold the No. 23 pick in the draft, did a lot of work on cornerbacks and are very high on Gilmore.

There is no shortage of teams looking to drop down, including many in the low-to-mid teens, where Gilmore could be available.
