Former first-round pick WR emerging as viable Detroit Lions’ trade target
If the Lions want to add a young wide receiver, a potential trade target is quickly emerging.
The degree of need can certainly be debated, but the loss of Josh Reynolds has removed a reliable target from the Detroit Lions’ wide receiver corps. After Amon-Ra St. Brown, there’s a lot of projection (Jameson Williams, Donovan Peoples-Jones, Antoine Green?) and perhaps an injury question mark (Kalif Raymond) looking toward next season. A draft pick at the position is possible, perhaps early.
The Tennessee Titans took Treylon Burks with the draft pick they acquired from the Philadelphia Eagles for A.J. Brown, theoretically replacing their start wide receiver and re-starting the contract clock for their WR1. It has not worked out, with a combination of bad quarterback play and injuries limiting Burks to 49 catches over two seasons (22 games).
