The Detroit Lions came into the 2024 NFL Draft with seven total selections, and ended up making six picks after completing four trades over the weekend. 

Throughout the draft, Detroit general manager Brad Holmes stayed true to his strategy of taking the best player available on his board – regardless of position. 

To start the draft, he added multiple cornerbacks, selecting Alabama’s Terrion Arnold (No. 24 overall via trade) and Missouri’s Ennis Rakestraw Jr. (No. 61 overall) in consecutive picks. 

He also added a pair of offensive linemen in University of British Columbia’s Giovanni Manu (No. 126 overall) and Boston College’s Christian Mahogany (No. 210 overall). And sandwiched between those two picks were Utah running back/safety Sione Vaki (No. 132 overall) and LSU defensive tackle Mekhi Wingo (No. 189 overall).  

Now, Holmes & Co. have the opportunity to further bolster their roster by tapping into the undrafted free-agent market. 

Let's take a peek now at the undrafted players that the organization has picked up in free agency since the end of the 2024 draft.
