The NFL draft is coming to Detroit and for a change, the Lions are coming off a successful season and have appeared to address every need with seemingly sound moves. Detroit has the No. 29 pick overall and if it doesn't make a move to pick sooner, it will mark the latest the franchise has made a first-round pick. The three-day event, which is expected to draw fans from all over to the Motor City, will be more of a showcase for the city than a chance for the Lions to add a desperately needed player in the draft.
The Green Bay Packers made a big investment in their secondary by signing safety Xavier McKinney from the New York Giants.

New York Fed President John Williams, citing economic strength,said on Thursday he does not see a convincing case for cutting the central bank's policy rate now. "Markets are still recalibrating what 'higher for longer' means and whether or not there will be any interest rate cut at all this year from the Fed," said Oliver Pursche, senior vice president at Wealthspire Advisors in New York. "If four months ago I said there's a real possibility the Fed won't lower rates at all in 2024, the response would have likely been that will create a massive sell off in stocks," Pursche added.
