2. The Detroit Lions are the perfect trade partner for the Baltimore Ravens

The Lions did not run an offense that they could drop Lamar Jackson into, but you could easily imagine how he would fit with the Detroit Lions. They have a strong run game, and without a quarterback who can run, they have a great power running attack.

The duo of DeAndre Swift, and Jamaal Williams would only get stronger when linebackers freeze due to Lamar Jackson and his talents. Beyond that, the Lions know that they need to upgrade over Jared Goff if they want to go over the top.

Thanks to the Rams, they happen to pick sixth, but they also have the 18th overall pick that is their own. This gives them a lot of flexibility to build a package that fits the Baltimore Ravens’ needs. If they feel that is now is the time to strike, they probably will never have the draft capital to make it happen again. The Lions have never been this close to being the hot and all-in team, and they could be willing to go over the top to get the Ravens to agree.
