You could be right but my point was if, for the sake of argument which is all mock drafts, Brad Holmes sees him as a player with a "Franchise CB" potential then the trade isn't that bad.  He isn't trading into the top 10.  Quinyon Mitchell does have flaws but they seem like things that can be corrected pretty easily and his attitude towards taking coaching does have value.  If he is a Patrick Surtain II type of CB or close to that, it is a good trade for the Lions.  His ceiling might be in that area so that trade scenario isn't unrealistic.

Terrion Arnold is interesting.  He is really good at mirroring and staying in-phase with WRs on short and intermediate routes.  He has shown some problems with his long speed though.  However, he is only 21 years old and his long speed might improve a little bit as he matures physically.  He reminds me a lot of Tre'Davious White in terms of playing style.

With respect to Quinyon Mitchell, I suspect the Lions know more about him than any other team given the fact that he has played his entire career at a school that is about an hour away from Detroit.

That is fairly misleading.  The net loss would be one first round pick.  Not two.

It's misleading to downplay. It would be two first round picks where two players could be drafted and you are getting one

Stiggers in the 3rd is a multiple round reach but then again he did draft Paschal in the second multiple rounds higher than expected. 

If I remember correctly, Josh Pascal was projected as a mid-2nd round pick.  Stiggers in the 3rd isn't as much of a reach as you might think.  He checks in at 204 Lbs which means he is closer to NFL play-strength than other prospects.  He has plenty of experience in playing zone coverage at a high level so he will have sub-pckage roles right away.  His physical testing numbers and Shrine Bowl work are pretty good.  A late-third round-early 4th isn't unrealistic.

Unless things have somehow drastically changed there is no way the first four selections fall to those slots.  Byron Murphy II might have a small chance at sliding but gvien the lack of 1st-round talent at DT that would be pretty surprising.  If Robinson slides out of the first round he isn't making it past #50.  Ricky Persall is getting some love for a surprsise 1st-round selection but he won't make it out of the 2nd round even in this year's loaded WR class.  Zak Zinter, even with his injury, won't make it out of the 3rd round.

We say that every year and players drop. There’s always 75-80 guys we KNOW aren’t making it out of the second round. 😂

Paschal was projected as a 4th rd pick, Brodric Martin was projected in the 5th-6th. Maybe you’re thinking of Onwuzurike. 

We had this discussion about Brodric Martin after the draft.  He had a couple of other teams interested in him in the late 3rd and early 4th round based on his Shrine Bowl work.  As I recall, the Chiefs were one of those teams.  The Chiefs also brought him in for a top 30 visit.

Can film help you get a handle on his work ethic, his ability to accept and process coaching or his character?  His position coach has strong ties to the Detroit area also.

I remember Paschal as being mostly viewed as a 2nd or 3rd rounder. Top 3 draft profiles on google pretty much agree
