Mock draft season is in full bloom at All Lions .
Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes currently is equipped with seven total picks, including two in the third round. It’s expected that he’ll focus primarily on upgrading the defensive side of the ball this April (April 25-27).
Without further ado, here is my first 2024 seven-round mock draft for the Lions .
Round 1, Pick 29 – CB Kamari Lassiter, Georgia
The Lions open up the 2024 draft by getting their No. 1 cornerback.
Lassiter , who suited up for Georgia for three seasons, closed out his collegiate career in standout fashion. In 2023, he recorded eight passes defensed and a passer rating against of 48.7, while earning a coverage grade of 87.2 from Pro Football Focus. Also, for his overall efforts, he received a grade of 85.4 from PFF.
Lassiter is a versatile defensive back who showcased the ability to play in both man coverage and zone coverage schemes during his time with the Bulldogs. He also displayed a willingness to come up and make stops against the run.
