The Detroit Lions' Draft Picks: A Deep Dive (Not Really, But We'll Have Fun Anyway)
Ah, the Detroit Lions. A team steeped in tradition, passionate fans (bless their hearts), and a draft history that's both thrilling and...well, let's just say it's kept things interesting. So, what about those 2024 draft picks? Buckle up, because we're about to unveil the mystery (or lack thereof) with some lighthearted Lions-picking fun.
Did the Lions Actually Draft Anyone This Year?
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.
Yes! Unlike that time they used a first-round pick on a kicker (no shade, Jason Hanson, you're a legend), the Lions did manage to snag some fresh talent in 2024. But fear not, there were some classic Lions twists along the way.
QuickTip: Look for lists — they simplify complex points.
Round 1: The Great Trade Up (Maybe?)
The Lions originally had pick number 29, but then...they did a thing. They traded up to number 24! Was it a stroke of genius? A panic move? Who knows! But hey, at least they moved up a few spots, right?Rounds 2-3: Filling the Holes (We Hope) The Lions used their remaining high picks on a cornerback (Terrion Arnold) and a running back (Sione Vaki). Here's hoping these guys can actually catch a pass and find the end zone, respectively. Lions fans, a moment of silence for all those dropped passes and missed tackles of drafts past.
Rounds 4-7: Bargain Bin Bonanza The later rounds are where the real magic happens, right? Maybe you snag a future Hall of Famer, maybe you end up with a guy who makes a living on special teams. The Lions grabbed a defensive tackle (Mekhi Wingo) in the late rounds, because hey, you can never have too many guys up front who can, you know, tackle.
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
