Pride of Detroit

● By Erik Schlitt
It’s finally April, and that means we’re just weeks away from the 2024 NFL Draft. As we get closer to the big event, we begin to narrow our focus on which prospects fit the Detroit Lions culture/scheme, but with three weeks of free agency additions in the books, it’s a good time to get a base mock draft completed. For this experiment, I used PFF’s Mock Draft simulator, and per usual, only allowed myself the option to trade once, with the qualifier that it must fall into the parameters of being realistic. Spoiler: for this initial mock draft, I elected to not make any trades.
