As the 2024 NFL draft inches closer, the Detroit Lions will be hosting prospects they are eyeing on 30 visits, something they have already started doing.
Based on reports, the Lions have hosted four players on a 30 visit so far. Three of the prospects play in the secondary, with two corners and one safety.
No surprise there, as those are two of the bigger needs the Lions have to address this offseason. In fact, head coach Dan Campbell recently pointed to safety as a position the team needs to target.
“We're still going to look for safety help,” Campbell said at the annual league meetings last week, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. “That's not over, either. We know we need some, there again, to bring in some competition in that room. So our eyes are there.”
Now, a look at who the Lions have brought in on 30 visits ahead of the draft.
CB Kool-Aid McKinstry, Alabama (scouting report)
Lions just finished a top-30 visit with Alabama CB Kool-Aid McKinstry. Lions still need CB help and McKinstry is one of the best in the draft.
