ALLEN PARK - The Lions made a deal last week that cost them a draft pick. This week, they sold off one of their best players to get one back.

It was a unique shift from adding pieces to removing them with only one game, a 28-14 home loss to the Seahawks, in between the two decisions to affect any line of thinking. But Detroit added a player with two years left on his contract after this season in Damon "Snacks" Harrison, and the one it shipped out was an expiring contract in Golden Tate.

Altogether, it's a haul built for the future, and that includes bolstering what the Lions have to work with in the draft. Like most general managers, Bob Quinn has said that the draft is where he'll build his team. It'll become a bigger focus now if the Tate trade slides a team that was already 3-4 with him.

After the various exchanges for picks, and not including compensatory picks, here's what Detroit's upcoming draft haul will generally look like:

1st round

2nd round

3rd round (via Eagles)

4th round

5th round (either theirs or the 49ers, depending on which goes to the Giants)

6th round

6th round (via Patriots)

7th round

7th round (via Dolphins, conditionally)

The draft order is unknown, of course, until the season is final, and then it becomes the inverse of the standings. If the season ended today, Detroit would draft 13th in each round, but it still has nine more games to play.

The Lions obtained Philadelphia's third-rounder for Tate, New England's sixth-rounder for cornerback Johnson Bademosi, a deal they made last season; and Miami's seventh-round pick, conditionally, for Akeem Spence. Spence has started every game for the Dolphins so far, so the conditions seem quite likely to be met.

The Lions did trade offensive tackle Corey Robinson to the Panthers for a conditional seventh-round pick, but Robinson lasted just two games with his new team, which means Carolina keeps the pick.

Detroit shipped out its 2019 third-round pick to the Patriots for the 2018 fourth-rounder that netted it defensive end Da'Shawn Hand. It also sent a fifth-rounder to the Giants to acquire Harrison, though it had an extra one from dealing guard Laken Tomlinson to the 49ers last year.

Compensatory picks are another element yet to be determined. The formula only gets straightened out after the season, and it's based on how teams' departing free agents perform with their next teams and how active the original teams were in replacing them. Compensatory picks kick in at the end of rounds 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.

With nine picks slated for the 2019 draft, the Lions will have a chance to supply its roster makeover.
