To the Detroit Lions for 1st RD pick (2019) and WR Marvin Jones

Ezekiel Ansah has not come to terms with the Detroit Lions on a new deal. It’s possible he may be a free agent in 2019. This will compel them to see a possible alternative. Mack of course is the ideal one. At worst his arrival would keep the pass rush strong. At best it might convince Ansah to stay, giving the team a lethal 1-2 punch on the edges.

One area they’re fairly strong is wide receiver with Marvin Jones coming off a 1,000-yard season. Oakland is searching for options to ease the pressure on Amari Cooper. Right now their best hopes are an aging Jordy Nelson and unreliable Martavis Bryant. Cooper and Jones would be a significant upgrade for Derek Carr while also netting two solid draft choices.
