2024 Roundup of the Detroit Lions mock draft 6.0: Significant changes after free agency

examining more closely the 2024 NFL Draft prospects that the Detroit Lions are expected to select during the second round of free agency.

If you’re not familiar with how the Detroit Lions roundup works, each week we collect data from the latest expert mock drafts published over the last seven days and compile them (with links to the original pieces) in one easy-to-access article. In addition to providing Lions fans with the names of prospects being paired with Detroit, we also provide commentary that points to trends, player fits, and overall team philosophy.

After two weeks of the 2024 free agency period, mock drafters are beginning to change their minds about the Lions. The Lions’ offseason additions have given analysts ample time to reflect, particularly considering Detroit hasn’t added a player in the last five days.

roundup, the Lions were heavily partnered with defensive backs, especially outside corners. However, things have shifted this week. The Lions were matched with 15 different players in the 39 mock drafts we examined, spanning five different position groups, and the ratio of offensive to defensive players was almost evenly distributed.

 

Translation: There is still a lot of uncertainty.

 

Let’s examine a few of the forecasts for this next week.
