The Lions have already made enough splashes in free agency to get you excited about next season. Trading for cornerback Carlton Davis and a pair of 6th-round picks was impressive work by Brad Holmes and the Lions. Additionally, the Lions did a great job with a pair of moves to add potential starters to their defense by signing cornerback Amik Robertson and defensive end Marcus Davenport.
To top off the free agency frenzy for the Lions up to this point is their addition of defensive tackle DJ Reader. He’s expected to contribute right away, and he should have a significant role next to Alim McNeill and Aidan Hutchinson.
It opens up the question of what the Lions might do with the 29th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Do they trade up for a receiver or pass rusher?

Personally, I think they go with an offensive lineman, and I’ve thought that since the second day of practice at the Senior Bowl. We’ll save that conversation for a later date.
What else could the Lions do in free agency? They could use a player or two at any of the positions I just listed for their potential draft plans in the first round. Certainly, they could be done with free agency, but if they’re not, I could see them considering one of these four players.
