For several weeks, the NFL has officially listed the Detroit Lions with a seventh-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft. But that is no longer the case.
According to several reports out of Denver and confirmed by league sources, the Lions pick at No. 234 overall does indeed belong to the Denver Broncos. It stems from last offseason’s trade for wide receiver Trinity Benson.
Initially, the NFL had listed the pick as still belonging to Detroit because the unspecified conditions of the trade were not met. But that status has now changed, though the NFL itself has yet to update the information on its official web page or draft tracker.
