2024 NFL Draft: Probabilit
The 2024 NFL Draft is simply round the corner and the Detroit Lions have a lot of achievable routes to explore with their draft picks. From adding starting-caliber talent to depth throughout more than one positions, normal supervisor Brad Holmes and his staff will appear to turn the Lions into now not just contenders, however champions. Free organisation used to be part of the equation, and the draft is the subsequent building block.
Are there some positions already set for the season to come?
Let’s take a look.
Quarterback
Why the Lions will draft one:
If the Lions are unable to come to extend Jared Goff, there is a chance 2024 may want to be his ultimate with the Lions—if they can’t agree to an extension, how possibly are they to sign him as an unrestricted free agent in 2025? If Detroit views an extension with their starting quarterback, they could be in the market for a younger replacement. With Hendon Hooker’s age (26) and lack of any professional experience, making a bet on him to take over for 2025 would be a daring move.
Odds the Lions draft one: 70%
Wide receiver is a position teams should draft on an annual basis, regardless of the round.
Tight end
Why the Lions will draft one:
The Lions struck gold with LaPorta, but that doesn’t mean the Lions have to settle for just him. Ben Johnson has done a phenomenal job of scheming tight ends in the Lions’ offense, and adding another dynamic threat at tight end would only the offense more dangerous. Brock Wright is best used as a blocker, but even then he is not an elite talent.
Offensive lineman
Why the Lions will draft one:
I’m merging the offensive line into one group because the Lions can justify help across the board.
