A newcomer could still push for time and raise the room's floor. Competition is coming. Clarity helps. With a starting avenue now attainable, talks with free agents or trade targets get cleaner. In NFL roster building, certainty sells. Detroit can survey options without panic and stage a quick ramp when camp opens. What It Means for 2024’s Blueprint This is a big hit to the 2024 draft c…
