For a precious few minutes, the Detroit Lions held the No. 63 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft. It didn’t last long.
Acquired in a previous trade with the Chiefs for the No. 55 overall pick, the Lions quickly flipped the 63rd pick to the Denver Broncos. Lions GM Brad Holmes sent No. 63 and No. 183–another pick acquired via trade during the draft–to Denver for No. 68 overall and No. 139.
With the 63rd pick, the Broncos selected Oklahoma wide receiver Marvin Mims.
