Eminem brings out current, former Lions greats to NFL Draft stage

What a perfect way to start the NFL Draft in Detroit. The Lions are one of the historic franchises of the league, despite never winning a Super Bowl. They have a big fanbase and why wouldn’t they celebrate the current and former greats? The NFL Draft is a fun time and that’s exactly what the league decided to do for the fans in Detroit.

The Lions are not supposed to make a selection until pick No. 29. So, fans are going to have to wait a while before their team acquires a new exciting rookie. But regardless, the fans are likely having fun on Thursday night.

With that said, it’s hard to tell what the Lions are going to do in the first round. They have a well-rounded roster and anyone they bring in is going to be a nice addition. Detroit is in a perfect spot to land a solid defensive prospect, which would be incredibly helpful for this team.

Lions 2024 season outlook

Detroit is in line to be one of the best teams in the NFC once again. However, the NFC North might be a bit more competitive than it was last season. The Lions have the tools to compete with anybody and it’ll be interesting to see if they can reclaim the North in consecutive seasons.

Offensively, the Lions are absolutely electric. Amon-Ra St. Brown emerged as an elite wide receiver while Sam LaPorta looks like the next big thing at tight end. The offensive line is solid and consistent. Additionally, they have a great rushing attack that compliments the entire offense well. To put it frankly, the front office has made Jared Goff’s job as easy as possible.

They could use some help defensively though despite having Aidan Hutchinson leading the way. The Lions are really only a few key pieces away from having a top defense. So, it’ll be interesting to see what they do in the NFL Draft.
