Detroit Lions Top-5 Round 1, 2026 NFL Draft Targets

44 comments

1. Should the Lions go offense in round 1? (“Y” for yes, “N” for no)

2. Id move Sewell to my LT Draft a Center and then find someone to fill the RT spot. Sewell WAS a all pro LT in college

3. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON'T draft a injured player or a project player

4. Anthony Smith
   Edge
   Junior
   Minnesota

   Saw him jump not the screen against NM in the Rate Bowl

5. I agree it has to be OLine. If we can’t get 4th and 3s easy Dan Campbell’s philosophy will never work. They need to give a bag to Lindbaum and draft a tackle in Round 1.

   Then you can work on filling the defense with good and fast midround LBs safeties and corners. Dillon Thieneman in round 2 sounds great. That dude looks like an animal on the field. Keonte Scott looked legit for the hurricanes against OSU and he might be there in round 4. Jacob Rodriguez the LB from Texas Tech in round 5. Then Anto Saka Edge from Northwestern in Round 6. In round 7 I would look for a good special teams player like JRM.

6. I’m not a fan of Parker or Proctor. I really like Francis Mauigoa or Goosby from Texas if he comes out.

7. We need a center

8. Being a Lions is like being in barrel

9. What did Proctor do Thursday night? To slow, to fat. Miami Hurricanes OT is the one you want.

10. OT Edge LB CB maybe RB later to have a thrid runningback to groom

11. O

12. Sounds like Mike Tyson been Punching on Your Tongue for the last Hour Poor English

13. This is a very deep edge draft, and I think we can get a great edge at 50. Use pick #16 one for a great offensive lineman, unless someone like David Bailey falls into their lap.

14. O lineman

15. I think CB has to be in consideration in round 1 as well.

16. Offense line first, d line second, cb and s 4 and 5,

17. If Decker retires then LT is the priority

18. You might want to rewatch the Rose Bowl. He was awful. Maybe if he fell to the 4th round but I actually hope they pass on Proctor.

19. Any chance Mauigoa is available by the 15, please lions

20. The best tackle OL player available.

21. o

22. Your pic of Proctor is labeled as Jared Goff buddy. Happy New Year.

23. I like Ioane Vega LG Penn State in the 1st rd

24. O but interior OL

25. O

26. I can see Lomu falling into the 2nd rd.

27. Parker was the top edge prospect coming into the season

28. Aveion Terrell in the 1st rd if he runs 4.35 or better

29. Free agency will determine the start of the draft. My favorite out of these selections only is Cashius Howell. But, LT is the biggest need seemingly at this moment and I like Lomu over Proctor. 2nd round or 4th round, they need a Center, unless they can swipe the UFA from Baltimore (doubt it). Later rounds 4th and beyond get bigger in secondary. So many different ways this draft could go.

30. I see you're going the Mr Ballen route on your like and sub request .

31. I could see brad trading down and taking 2 cornerbacks we aint ever gonna win with him tbh

32. Like the picks but 2 of those guys are gone before we pick Fano and Parker

33. Proctor is a bust

34. I think they should trade down in the first round and try to get another pick in the top 100 -120 because they don’t have a third rounder this year and I don’t think they should trade up at all and make as many picks as possible

35. o

36. Id be happy with Oline or dline first 3 rounds

37. I’m in the trade back train, let’s get 2 2nd rounders+ plus our delayed 1st

38. Francios from Miami

39. This is a waste of time .Brads gonna pick who he wants not necessarily who we need so save your breath and find another way to spend your time

40. Sign Ravens center in free agency then draft a offensive tackle in draft

41. LIONS should draft DE first, and OL second.

42. I personally like Mauigoa (OLINE) or David Bailey (edge). I think those are two outstanding prospects. Did you consider those players, and maybe you weren't as high on them?

43. O.
