Detroit is on the clock for 2024 NFL draft: 6 names to know

With Saturday evening’s selection of Toledo defensive end Desjuan Johnson (who also starred at Detroit East English Village) at No. 259 by the Los Angeles Rams — aka "Mr. Irrelevant" — it became official: The 2023 NFL draft is over, and Detroit is on the clock for 2024.
