Lions NFL Draft Picks 2024: The complete list of Detroit’s draft picks for each round
The Detroit Lions won their division for the first time in 30 years (when it was known as the NFC Central), as well as a playoff game, in the 2023 season. The Lions defeated the Rams in the Wild Card round and the Buccaneers in the Divisional round before losing narrowly to the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 in the NFC Championship.
“It seems a lot of things just kind of didn’t go our way and I hate for that to sound like an excuse because we felt like we should have won that game anyways, but the second half they played well and we didn’t and that’s kind of the bottom line,” Jared Goff, the Lions quarterback, said of their playoff loss earlier in the month. “I wish I could go back and point out some plays for you, but there were many of them. There was more than simply one. There wasn’t just one thing that went wrong; there were several, and while it was the way the ball bounced that day, it provided us with a lot of fire. It actually did. And I know Dan has talked.
gave us a lot of fire and provided us with something to think about and draw on for next year.” The 2024 NFL Draft will be held at Detroit’s Campus Martius Park and Hart Plaza, and the hometown team will enter the weekend with less obvious needs than other teams in the league. Picking first at 29th overall, Detroit’s biggest area of need is likely at cornerback, a position group they can continue to fortify after adding Carlton Davis from the Buccaneers in March.
