The NFL Draft is drawing near, and the anticipation for what the Detroit Lions will do is building.

General manager Brad Holmes has grow to be notorious for maintaining his cards shut to the vest around this time. Last year, he surprised many through deciding on Jahmyr Gibbs and Jack Campbell in the first round.

Holmes’ draft category became out to be a revelation, as each of his first four choices were starters closing season.

Now, there is hope that Holmes can replicate that feat in the 2024 Draft, which will be hosted in Detroit.

With the first spherical much less than 20 days away, I conducted a simulated mock draft in anticipation of what the Lions ought to do with their picks.
