2024 NFL Draft

[Hongbit]

All of these QB’s off the board means fewer calls from teams wanting the Lions #29.   Think they will pick…or maybe move up. 

[Tenacious D]

A run on kickers right now would be exceptional.

275,000 people at the draft.

How can they even do (fit that many people) that?

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Now the run on defense begins.

[1984Echoes]

I'd rather the Colts take a chance on Latu's long term health than the Lions...

Just my 2 cents...

[1984Echoes]

There's still two receivers (Brian Thomas or Adonai Mitchell) who would look good in a Lions uniform.

Or for someone else to pick before the Lions draft to push another defensive player to us.

😄

Another surprise overdraft or two would work with just about any position...

Keep those better players falling into Holmes' hands...

they make up a number that is larger than last year's number.

They could use a CB, a speed rusher or interior rusher (or both)...

But also an X Receiver and a primary back up to Ragnow.

However that works out or however Holmes plays that...

I'm good.

With a nod and a wink... right?

If so it’s interesting they picked a number so large. Really makes Chiefs project a little softer fan base, hosting after winning the Super Bowl and all.

A move up for...

Quinyon Mitchell?

[Motown Bombers]

The largest crowd was 2018 so it's not like they are making bigger numbers each year. 275k would basically be 2.5x the Big House. If this crowd is snaking down Woodward and into Hart Plaza, it's not hard to fit 275k there. 

[Motown Bombers]

Interesting, Minnesota trades up. Guessing defense here. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Smart move for Jacksonville. They need a corner and not a single corner has been taken. Trade back and wait.

[number20]

This is shaping up to be a tough division

Rookie QBs are still rookies.

Just gotta do your job and make the playoffs anyway you can.

[MichiganCardinal]

Think he knows it’s 10pm with those sunglasses?

I just did an area measurement of Hart Plaza plus Woodward ave plus Campus Martius and it's about 89,000 m^2. If you have 3 people per square meter, which is probably on the high side for how close people actually are, that's what you would need for 250K. OTOH, there might be 25-40K inside the surrounding buildings.

every team looks great on draft night.

[MichiganCardinal]

With still no corners off the board, this is going very well for the Lions.

Move up if you want, but Arnold, DeJean, and Mitchell are there for the taking. Just sit and see who’s there mid-20s

I'm thinking this is getting close to where Holmes might have an itchy trigger finger...

Just guessing...

And the Vikings have now traded 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round 2025 picks

[buddha]

hot take: if the league thought any of these corner backs were sure fire stars, they would have been selected already.
