The Detroit Lions have begun engaging teams in conversations about trading down from No 3.

"I've had a few of those conversations over the last week or so. Had a few of those conversations, honestly, as far back as the combine," Bob Quinn said. "And then there will be more substantive talks next week if people are interested.

"... If I'm going to do something, I think we'll have a pretty good idea Thursday afternoon of kind of where we stand. I don't think I'm going to be making a huge decision on trading the No. 3 overall pick while I'm on the clock, while I'm virtually talking to our head coach and our other personnel."

The Lions are looking for a player who can immediately contribute. Detroit has been linked with Jeffrey Okudah for months.
