| What Are The Detroit Lions Draft Picks For 2024 |
Round 1: Cornering the Market on Cornerbacks (Finally!)
The Lions used their first-round pick (24th overall) to snag Terrion Arnold, a shutdown corner from Alabama. Nicknamed "Sticky Fingers" Arnold because, well, you get the idea, he's expected to be a lockdown presence on defense. Let's just say opposing quarterbacks might be wishing they brought a map to navigate this secondary maze.
Round 2: Doubling Down on D
Continuing their defensive makeover, the Lions snagged Ennis Rakestraw Jr., a ball-hawking corner from Missouri, with their second-round pick (61st overall). Looks like Honolulu Blue is officially the new "D for Defense" this season!
Tip: Stop when you find something useful.
Round 4: Building a Wall (Not THAT Wall)
The fun didn't stop there! The Lions used two picks in the fourth round to shore up their offensive and defensive lines. First, they grabbed Giovanni Manu, a massive (we're talking 6-foot-7, 350-pound) offensive lineman from the University of British Columbia. With Manu protecting Jared Goff's blindside, opposing pass rushers might need a vacation after each game.
Then, they snagged defensive tackle Sione Vaki from Utah with another fourth-round pick. Vaki's got a motor that never quits, and opposing quarterbacks are about to learn the meaning of "pressure cooker."
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.
Rounds 6: The Cherry on Top (or Bottom, Depending on How You Look at It)
The Lions used their remaining picks in the sixth round to grab a couple of intriguing prospects: defensive lineman Mekhi Wingo from LSU and guard Christian Mahogany from Boston College.
So, what does this all mean? The Detroit Lions are SERIOUS about building a contender. With a revamped defense and some promising young talent on offense, this team is poised to make a serious run in the NFC North.
QuickTip: Pause at lists — they often summarize.
