The Burning Question: How Many Draft Picks Do the Lions ACTUALLY Have Left? (Spoiler Alert: It's Not Zero...This Time)
Ah, the Detroit Lions and the NFL Draft. A name more synonymous with suspense than Alfred Hitchcock himself. Will they trade up? Will they trade down? Will they accidentally draft a kicker in the first round...again? (Let's not revisit 2008, shall we?)
This year, however, there's a wrinkle in the suspense. A question that's keeping Motor City sleepless: How many draft picks do the Lions ACTUALLY have left?
Fear not, friends! Unlike past drafts where the Lions entered looking like they'd traded away their future for a bag of magic beans, this year they actually have some, well, picks! Let's delve into the thrilling world of Detroit's remaining draft capital, shall we?
Tip: The middle often holds the main point.

Dissecting the Draft Den: A Rundown of the Remaining Lions
The Good News: The Lions, believe it or not, walk into the draft with a decent amount of ammunition. We're talking seven whole picks, scattered throughout the rounds like a pride of lions strategically stalking their prey (hopefully not another kicker). That's right, folks, seven!
The Not-So-Good News: Now, those seven picks aren't exactly evenly distributed. It's more like a kid's lunchbox after a sugar rush: a couple of high-value selections in the early rounds, then a handful of later-round fliers. But hey, even those late-round picks can turn into gems (remember Barry Sanders in the third round?).
QuickTip: Take a pause every few paragraphs.
The Bold and the Beautiful (Draft Picks, That Is): Here's the nitty-gritty:
- Round 1: The Lions hold the 29th overall pick. This could be a prime spot to grab a difference-maker, or maybe they'll surprise us all with a trade up (because, well, it's the Lions).
- Rounds 2 & 3: They have picks at 29th in both rounds, giving them some flexibility to address key needs.
- Rounds 4 (Nope!), 5, 6 (x2), & 7: They snagged a pick in the fifth round and a couple in the sixth (thanks, Tampa Bay!), along with their standard seventh-round selection. These later picks are all about finding those hidden diamonds in the rough.
So, How Many Picks Do They Have Left? The Big Reveal!
Drumroll please... The Detroit Lions have a total of seven draft picks remaining. That's not a franchise record, but for the Lions, it's practically a war chest.
QuickTip: Don’t rush through examples.

Will they use them wisely? Will they trade up for a surprise pick? Will they confuse a kicker for a running back again? Only time (and maybe a healthy dose of optimism) will tell.
