Lions Trade Up for Kendrick Law
About this episode
The Detroit Lions make a strategic move in the 2026 NFL Draft, trading up to pick Kentucky wide receiver Kendrick Law at number 168. They surrender picks 181 and 213 to the Buffalo Bills, gaining 13 spots in the fifth and sixth rounds. Law, a 63, 203-pound receiver, boasts impressive college stats: 53 catches for 540 yards and 3 TDs last season, and 86 grabs for 883 yards and 4 TDs overall. This trade aligns with the Lions approach of acquiring receiving talent without expending early draft capital. With only two picks remaining (205 and 222), the Lions are playing it conservative for the rest of the draft.
