The Detroit Lions are scheduled to select late in the 2024 NFL Draft thanks to an incredible postseason run. However, that has an unintended side effect: projecting their first-round pick is a toss-up.
Ignoring the potential that the Lions trade out of pick 29, picking late in the draft means multiple players across multiple positions become viable options. Back in the 2022 NFL Draft, the Lions held the second-overall selection, a pick with far fewer realistic possibilities. The Lions walked away from that class with Aidan Hutchinson, and while the 2024 class could be equally fruitful, predicting who the Lions will pick is a tough ask.
