2024 NFL Draft: When do the Detroit Lions pick on Day 2?

The Detroit Lions were in a position they've rarely been in during the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, picking late (No. 29 overall) with few (if any) big needs. They identified Alabama cornerback Terrion Arnold as one of their guys, waited as defensive players fell, and went and got him with a trade up to No. 24 with the Dallas Cowboys.

General manager Brad Holmes did not sit on his hands in the first round of the previous two drafts, so that he made a deal during the first round again this year was not a surprise.

As part of the deal go up to No. 24 and get Arnold, the Lions gave up their remaining third-round pick this year (No. 73 overall). They gave up their other third-round pick in this year's draft (No. 92 overall, originally acquired from the Vikings in the T.J. Hockenson trade) to get cornerback Carlton Davis from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

2024 NFL Draft: When do the Lions go on the clock on Day 2?

Compared to the first three drafts with Holmes as general manager, aided by the Matthew Stafford trade, the Lions have precious little draft capital this year. Their fourth-round pick went to Minnesota in the Hockenson trade, and now they have neither of the third-round picks they had.

So Day 2 of the draft is looking to be a pretty quiet one for the Lions. They aren't necessarily in a prime spot another team will want to trade up to in the second round, and unless Holmes wants to tap into future draft capital moving up from where they are in Round 2 is unlikely.

So barring something unforeseen, though trading a player could be on the table to add a pick, the Lions will make just one pick on Day 2 of the 2024 draft.

Pick No. 61, in the second round, and that'll be it.
