LIONS JUMP PACKERS WITH COWBOYS DRAFT DAY TRADE

The city of Detroit hosted the 2024 NFL Draft and a ton fo fans made their way out for the first round on Thursday night. And, Detroit Lions fans in attendance got a treat as they traded up from No. 29 to No. 24 in a deal with the Dallas Cowboys. Here are the full details of the trade, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

‘Comp: Cowboys 24th pick and 2025 7th, in exchange for Lions No. 29 and 3rd round pick (73)’

This comes after the Minnesota Vikings traded up twice in the first round. The Lions moved up to select Alabama CB Terrion Arnold, who was still on the board despite some having him much higher in some projections.

Nonetheless, the Lions’ aggressiveness continues and they grab an Alabama player in the first round for the third straight year. Two years ago, they selected Jameson Williams. The Lions then selected Jahmyr Gibbs in the first round in the 2023 NFL Draft. They even took Brian Branch from Alabama in the 2nd round of the 2023 NFL Draft, so clearly Dan Campbell loves to select Alabama players.

*More details to come.*
