We’re 10 days out from the 2024 NFL draft in Detroit! In honor of the 10-day period, and all the associative anxiety and excitement for the major event happening on the Lions’ front lawn, here are the 10 players that are the most likely selections by Detroit with the first-round pick at No. 29 overall.
We’re at Pick 25 in our 2024 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft, and the Green Bay Packers are on the clock for the first time. We’ve already seen the Chicago Bears (Caleb Williams and Malik Nabers) and Minnesota Vikings (J.J. McCarthy and Jaylen Wright) have two selections, making the NFC North an drastically-improving division.
I told you this series wouldn’t just be filled with Michigan Wolverine players. When it comes to the 2024 NFL Draft, the one defensive end that stood out to me is Demeioun “Chop“ Robinson from Penn State. The Detroit Lions saw their defensive line improve in 2023, but there is still a need at the…
For being “America’s Team,” the Dallas Cowboys have been the butt far more jokes than you may think over the past two decades. Perennially a winner during the regular season, the Cowboys have squandered great falls with terrible winters year after year after year. Since the year 1998, the Cowboys are just 4-12 in playoff…
With the NFL draft coming up quickly, the Detroit Lions are rounding out their 30 pre-draft visits. They had one this weekend with a Canadian collegiate lineman with an interesting story and some impressive athleticism. Giovanni Manu, all 6-foot-7, 352 pounds of him, was in Detroit on Sunday for an official pre-draft visit. Manu played
One of the best trades of all time remains to be Jared Goff‘s trade to the Detroit Lions, three years ago. It was a win for all four parties involved in the trade– Lions, Goff, Los Angeles Rams, and Matthew Stafford, whom the Lions traded in exchange for Goff. Despite making a Super Bowl appearance
The biggest strength of the Detroit Lions is their offensive line. Former GM Bob Quinn, despite all his warts, did a great job drafting offensive linemen and Brad Holmes put the final pieces of the puzzle in place. The Lions have one of the best, if not the best, starting five in the league. Let’s
The Los Angeles Rams’ decision to trade former No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff to the Detroit Lions for Matthew Stafford might go down as one of the best moves in franchise history. Not only for the Rams, but also for the Lions. It’s the rare trade that worked out well for both sides. With
The Minnesota Vikings are up again in the Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft after selecting Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy with the 11th overall pick. Minnesota acquired the 23rd pick earlier this offseason in a trade with the Houston Texans in exchange for a 2025 second-round pick, among other compensation.

While I could list a lot of Michigan Wolverines in this series, this is the last one that makes the cut for me. The Detroit Lions would be an excellent home for Michigan cornerback Mike Sainristil overall. His work ethic and how he is as a person and a player is what the Lions could…
No team had a more public and more humiliating breakdown last year than the Philadelphia Eagles. After starting the season 10-1, they lost five of their last six games and were predictably humiliated in the opening round of the playoffs. Through it all, the Eagles panicked, made some very foolish coaching decisions, and never even…
On Saturday, our own Brandon Knapp made a compelling case for the Detroit Lions to draft Michigan guard Zak Zinter sometime on Day 2 or Day 3. Zinter is coming off a serious injury, but his ability as a road grader in the run game—plus Detroit’s lack of an immediate need at guard—make him a…
This latest edition of the full 7-round Lions mock draft explores a specific theme. This one is about seeing what it might look like if Lions GM Brad Holmes opts to trade up from No. 29 overall in the first round. It’s an idea worth exploring. Holmes has proven he will aggressively pursue players he
