It’s the best weekend of the year! I cannot wait to get to Downtown Detroit to walk the city, do radio and talk with all of the great fans in the NFL. It’s been great going through the draft process to figure out which players go to each team. Over the last two drafts (2022 and 2023), there’s only been a total of 3 trades occurring on the day of each draft. In this draft, I predict that we’ll see 4 trades and 5 quarterbacks selected in the first round. Let’s take a look at which players go where in the 2024 NFL Draft! Chicago Bears (via CAR) – Caleb Williams, QB, USC This one has been eviden ..read more

It’s finally here! The 2024 NFL draft kicks off tonight, and all the speculation finally gets resolved. What will happen with the Detroit Lions? Good question. With the team picking 29th overall in the first round, there are so many variables that just can’t be known even before the Lions pick. Then there’s the tight-lipped, secretive nature of Detroit GM Brad Holmes and his staff who make the picks. Holmes loves to wheel and deal, which makes trying to see the team’s future an exercise in madness. This is the final guess at what the Lions will do in the 2024 NFL draft. It may or may not be t ..read more

The Detroit Lions interrupted the NFL draft conversation on Wednesday by locking up All-Pro wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown to a massive new contract extension. The deal locks up St. Brown through the 2028 season and includes the biggest amount of guaranteed money for any wide receiver in NFL history. Per Spotrac, the new contract details show some cap creativity from the Lions. The deal is for $120.01 million over four years at the end of his current contract, which expires after the 2024 season. His salary cap hit for 2024 remains a relatively paltry $4.8 million. After that, the cap hits es ..read more

Alabama cornerback Terrion Arnold is one of the 13 prospects in Detroit for the 2024 NFL draft. Arnold is widely expected to be long gone by the time the hometown Lions make their scheduled pick at No. 29 overall. Yet there is some hubbub that the Lions could be interested in trading up to land Arnold, who is a great schematic fit for what Aaron Glenn’s Detroit defense is expected to look like in 2024 and beyond. At an event with the Special Olympics on Wednesday, Arnold played coy when asked about any inside information he might have about the Lions’ potentially trading up. “That’s classified ..read more

It’s been a busy day of spending for the Detroit Lions. Hours after making Amon-Ra St. Brown the highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL, the Lions agreed to a contract deal with right tackle Penei Sewell.

The Detroit Lions currently hold the No. 29 pick in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft. “Currently” is the optimal word to focus on when looking at what the Lions might do with their pick on Thursday night in Detroit. Lions head coach Dan Campbell matter-of-factly lent more fuel to the fire that the team will trade out of the first round. In a Wednesday morning appearance on 97.1 The Ticket, Campbell made it clear the Lions won’t draft someone at 29 just to keep the fans in attendance in Detroit happy. “If our guy’s not there, we will move back, so I’m just preparing the fans,” Campbell sai ..read more

Reggie Bush won the Heisman Trophy in 2005 as college football’s best player. His electrifying performance as USC’s playmaking running back stands the test of time as one of the most dynamic and exciting seasons in college football history. Bush, who played for the Lions in 2013-2014, subsequently had his college awards and records vacated due to scandals around the USC football program. However, the Heisman Trust is set to give Bush his rightfully earned award back, per Pete Thamel of ESPN. Bush came to Detroit near the end of his NFL career and topped 1,000 rushing yards in 2013. His 1,512 y ..read more
