The Detroit Lions just had a phenomenal 2024 NFL Draft. They went and got their guys again for the fourth year in row and you have to be impressed with their dedication to their draft philosophy.

The NFL Draft is not just about which players get drafted. Oftentimes, it is the players that weren’t drafted that play a large role in the roster’s shape. Thanks to countless mock drafts, some positions were seen as sure-fire landing spots for rookie draft picks. Instead, these positions may have gone unaddressed in the draft.…
The Detroit Lions doubled down on cornerbacks when they took Alabama’s Terrion Arnold in the first-round and then took Missouri cornerback Ennis Rakestraw with their second-round pick. Rakestraw and Arnold are two totally different players with different skills. Arnold is more of ball hawk while Rakestraw is more of a shadow guy that can bat

One of the Detroit Lions’ most fascinating picks in the 2024 NFL Draft was University of British Columbia offensive tackle Giovanni Manu. Some media members didn’t even have him on their radar and he was a late-rising prospect, but Detroit was convicted enough on his overall talent that they traded a 2025 third-round pick to…
In one fateful Wednesday afternoon, the Detroit Lions found themselves responsible for the highest-paid wide receiver and highest-paid offensive tackle in the NFL. The Lions handsomely rewarded Amon-Ra St. Brown and Penei Sewell for their stellar play and continuing growth into elite talents. It’s money well spent. Not only are Sewell and St. Brown part
The Pittsburgh Steelers are inviting veteran cornerback Anthony Averett to their rookie minicamp, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Pittsburgh needs help in the slot, and that position remains vacant with only a few options on the roster. Those include Beanie Bishop and Josiah Scott, but Averett could provide a solid player who could
The Detroit Lions were puffing out their chests before the 2024 NFL Draft began. They nailed their picks in the first two rounds last year en route to an NFC Championship Game berth. GM Brad Holmes had some holes to fill. They lost some players in free agency and are eager to show last year
Averett, 29, is a former fourth-round pick by the Ravens in the 2018 draft. He played out a four-year, $3.1 million rookie deal and entered unrestricted free agency in 2022. He ended up signing a one-year deal with the Raiders worth up to $4 million. From there, the 49ers signed him to a one-year contract.
The 2024 NFL Draft has reached its conclusion, and with it comes six new players to join the Detroit Lions. Though the names will bring plenty of excitement as training camp rolls around, it also means that certain players already with the team could have their roster spot in jeopardy. The Lions did well to
Penei Sewell grew up in American Samoa, a long way—both physically and culturally—from Detroit. But just before he walked into the media room Monday, days after signing a contract that made him the highest-paid offensive tackle in football, Detroit Lions general manager wanted to make sure he had a touch of home. He greeted Sewell…
The Detroit Lions could use some wide receiver depth behind Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Bleacher Report’s David Kenyon has posed an interesting candidate. Former Cincinnati Bengals wide out Tyler Boyd. Boyd is one of the top free agents remaining, and he showed last year that he still has quite a bit left in the tank
One of the Detroit Lions’ most fascinating picks in the 2024 NFL Draft was fourth-round pick Sione Vaki. He’s a do-it-all player who will almost certainly have an immediate impact as a four-phase special teamer—but he also has the experience and the skill set to potentially play on both offense and defense, too.
In the realm of the NFL Draft, success often hinges not solely on acquiring the top talent, but on adeptly utilizing available resources and capitalizing on the opportunities presented. The Detroit Lions epitomized this principle in their recent draft endeavors. Despite lacking the high first-round picks characteristic of their history, the Lions consistently struck gold
Following the conclusion of the 2024 NFL draft, the football community is scrambling to determine which teams had the most success. Traditionally, that means analysts assigning grades to players and the entire draft classes. But like everything related to the NFL Draft, for every opinion submitted, there is an analytical component that can also be…
After making a couple of trades in the 2024 NFL draft, the Detroit Lions accelerated some of their 2025 draft capital by a year. The Lions and GM Brad Holmes dealt away two 2025 picks as part of trades over the draft weekend. Most notably, the Lions traded away their third-round pick in 2025 to
,The overwhelming sense I get from Detroit Lions fans is that they do not care about draft grades anymore. That’s totally understandable after critics panned Detroit’s 2023 draft class, and then it turned out to be the best in football. Clearly, the public doesn’t have the breadth of knowledge that NFL general managers do, and…
Giovanni Manu has a very interesting path to becoming a fourth-round pick of the Detroit Lions. From a boy growing up in Tonga to playing high school basketball in western Canada, it’s a very unusual background for an NFL offensive lineman. Manu is a proud Tongan, and his Polynesian heritage is fiercely important to him.
