The biggest 2024 NFL Draft question for each of the 32 teams (Detroit Lions: Will they zag instead of zig again this year?  Picks: 29, 61, 73, 164, 201, 205, 249.  If you’re looking at the Lions roster, you might think that it’s all but assured the team will take a defensive player with its first-round pick. Cornerback and defensive line are both two positions of need, and the team could fill a starting slot with someone in this class to continue its quest for a conference title. However, last year’s draft proves that Detroit may go in an unexpected direction. Our guess would be at wide receiver, where the team might replace Josh Reynolds with a strong prospect. Adding someone like, say, Keon Coleman, Ja’Lynn Polk (above) or Roman Wilson to pair with Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams could be too hard to pass up if you’re the Lions.):  https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/nfl-draft-2024-big-question-each-team-32-needs
