Lions target EDGE help in latest mock draft roundup.
It’s time for the third All Lions mock draft roundup for the 2024 NFL Draft.
Over the last week, Missouri EDGE Darius Robinson has increasingly become a popular selection for the Lions at No. 29 overall.
Let’s explore now who the draft analysts have Lions general manager Brad Holmes taking in the first round.
Latu is presently being mocked by the following:
Defensive lineman Byron Murphy II, Texas
Murphy is currently being selected by the following:
Wiggins is currently being picked by the following:
Robinson is currently being mocked by the following:
“I wouldn’t love Darius Robinson’s first-round fit for any team, but I can get on board with it for the Lions.
The Tigers edge rusher enjoyed a standout week at the Senior Bowl, and everything we’ve heard suggests that he is a top-50 lock.
He played as an interior defensive lineman his entire college career before losing some weight and playing edge in 2023.
He’s not an edge-bender, but his interior background makes him a powerful 5-tech defensive end with pass-rush potential to play opposite Aidan Hutchinson.”
Mitchell is currently being picked by the following:
Lassiter is currently being drafted by the following:
“Kamari Lassiter doesn’t appear to receive the same hype as the other top CBs in the draft, but he could go much higher than 29th overall. If he doesn’t, expect Dan Campbell himself to sprint the card in.
Lassiter was flawless for Georgia last season, not allowing a single touchdown. He’ll lay his body on the line against the ground game, and he can turn and run with most WRs he’ll face.”
McKinstry is currently being picked by the following:
“The Lions are in dire need of CB help, although they also need to address the edge spot opposite Aidan Hutchinson. McKinstry, Arnold’s running mate at Alabama, was the higher-rated recruit due to his terrific combination of size (6-1, 195), length and athletic balance. A very patient player, McKinstry could help Detroit right away.”
