In case you are unfamiliar with the Detroit Lions roundup, we gather information from the most recent expert mock drafts that have been published in the last seven days and combine it into a single, easily accessible post along with links to the original pieces. We not only tell Lions supporters which prospects Detroit is matching them with, but we also offer analysis highlighting team philosophy, player fits, and trends.
The NFL 2024 free agency period has calmed down, and while everyone is still thinking about the owners meeting, mock drafts are always being updated with the most recent information.
Part 1 of this week’s roundup will look at a few more names that appear in this week’s estimates for the first time. We will discuss the possibility of the Lions trading out of the first round in Part 2, which will be released soon.
Let’s examine a few of the forecasts for this next week.
Due to their WR-X stature and playmaking prowess, Adonai Mitchell (Texas) and Keon Coleman (Florida State) usually draw the most attention at the end of Round 1, but a few other receivers, like McConkey, could also be considered due to their special skill sets.
Despite being constructed like a slot receiver at 5-foot-11 1⁄2 and 186 pounds, McConkey only played in the slot less than one-third of the time at Georgia. Some NFL teams will undoubtedly view him as an inside-only guy, but the more I see him play, the more confident I become that he can replicate his college splits at a higher level.
