Bottom Line: Way-too-Early means Way-too-Early
Folks, trust me when I say that I understand that these way-too-early mock drafts don't mean much at all for a myriad of reasons, but they sure can be fun to browse. Personally, I like to see where the Mocks have the Lions picking and where some of the big-name prospects get selected, and not necessarily by which team. With that being said, the 2024 Mock Drafts have started!
