The 2024 NFL Draft is just a few weeks away and the draft process is in full swing. As we get closer to the moment where players actually start getting picked, it's time to track some of these pre-draft visits that are going down with the Lions. Below are players that the Lions have met with and the type of visit they've had. First, here's the type of meetings teams can have ahead of the draft:

  • Senior Bowl: Teams can have meetings with players at the Senior Bowl. Basically every team talks to every player there.
  • NFL Combine formal meeting: There are formal and informal meetings at the combine. The formal ones are the ones to watch. That's where the team takes a player into a room and goes over tape with them and interviews them.
  • Pro day meeting: This is where teams pull a player aside at their pro day and have a meeting. Sometimes it can go farther than that like a team might take a player to dinner for example
  • Top-30 visit: This is where teams fly draft prospects in and have them in the building for a meeting.
  • Local pro day: This is where teams will welcome in players from the local colleges to show what they got. This is where the Lions met Dylan Drummond last year for example. 
  • Virtual meeting: It's a meeting over a computer.
