ESPN predicts prospects Detroit Lions could pick in 1st round of 2024 NFL draft

ESPN analytics recently released its 2024 NFL Draft Day Predictor, which puts percentage chances on who each team could select with their picks in this year’s event — and we’ve compiled the list and percent chances from it for the Detroit Lions’ No. 29 overall pick.
