On Thursday, thousands of Detroit Lions fans will descend upon Campus Martius in downtown Detroit to see the 2024 NFL Draft and who the Lions may select with the 29th overall pick. But given that first-round talent could be gone by the time the Detroit is on the clock, Lions general manager Brad Holmes did not rule out the chance that they end up trading down out of the first round entirely, despite it potentially disappointing fans who will be waiting hours for Detroit’s pick.
“We have to do the right thing for the organization, and if it makes sense and it lines up and it’s the right thing to do, we have to do the right thing,” Holmes said.
