No surprise, this week’s mock draft roundup for the Detroit Lions features the same batch of names. It’s the top offensive linemen and pass rushers leading the charge heading into the NFL Scouting Combine.

We’ll hear from Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes next week, while getting a chance to speak with hundreds of draft prospects from Indianapolis. As always, it will be interesting to see how things shift after the combine and with free agency approaching quickly.

We’ll track mock drafts from around the country from the last week below:

Kadyn Proctor, OT, Alabama

Mocked by: MLive’s Ben Raven, Pro Football Network, USA Today‘s Ayrton Ostly, USA Today’s Jacob Camenker

Kadyn Proctor was my first mock pick for the Lions this week. He has all the physical traits to be an impactful starting offensive tackle in the NFL at 6-foot-6, 360-plus pounds. Proctor would make a ton of sense as a right tackle at the next level. And if Taylor Decker were to return, it’s not out of this world seeing him being able to play some guard in the short term. Proctor might rely on his overwhelming size and strength too much right now. But as long as his technique improves and he receives the right coaching, this makes a ton of sense for the future of the offensive line here.

Cashius Howell, EDGE, Texas A&M

Mocked by: MLive’s Kory Woods, CBS Sports’ Tom Fornelli

Kory Woods picked one of my favorite prospects in his first mock draft that dropped earlier Friday. Cashius Howell would represent the new flavor for Detroit’s defensive line that I’ve been clamoring for a couple of years now. Howell is a battle-rocket pass rusher who has some truly elite disruption potential. He would be a change of direction from the mighty, inside-outside pocket-crushing edge defenders the Lions have preferred under Holmes — and that could be a very good thing opposite Aidan Hutchinson.

Howell is all juice off the edges right now. His work stopping the rush and setting edges needs a ton of improvement to become an every-down player.

Caleb Lomu, OT, Utah

Mocked by: Yahoo staff, The Draft Network

Caleb Lomu is an all-around solid option with some real upside as a redshirt sophomore heading into the draft. With Decker contemplating his future, Lomu would be a pure left tackle prospect. The 6-foot-6, 308-pounder was a two-year starter at left tackle for the Utes. He didn’t allow a single sack across 800 snaps at left tackle in 2025, with only two quarterback hits surrendered. Utah had quite the duo last season, with Spencer Fano in the Penei Sewell role of “run behind me, I got this” and Lomu as the blindside protector.

Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson

Mocked by: Fox Sports staff‚ CBS Sports’ Josh Edwards, Tankathon

We’ve covered this at length in recent weeks — Avieon Terrell is a great prospect who certainly checks some boxes for Detroit. But with the offensive tackles and pass rushers at the top of this draft in the top-17 range, it’s hard to justify another high cornerback pick. The one aspect worth noting is that Terrell could be best suited for a primary nickelback role. With Amik Robertson needing a new contract and Brian Branch recovering from an Achilles injury, finding a slot makes sense, especially with Ennis Rakestraw’s challenging start.

The 5-foot-11 cornerback played a career-high 110 snaps in the slot last season. NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah sees Terrell as “an ideal nickel starter on Day 1.”

Akheem Mesidor, EDGE, Miami (Fl)

Mocked by: NFL’s Charles Davis, Cleveland.com

Akheem Mesidor’s past with some injuries and the fact that he’ll be a 25-year-old rookie will be tough for some to overlook. He had his best season last year at Miami, with 17.5 tackles for loss and 12.5 sacks. But it was also his sixth college season after two years at West Virginia and four at Miami. The age and experience difference at the college level has to be accounted for when looking at that jump in production. At the same time, he was a dominating force on the way to the national title game at times, and that will also be hard to overlook. Mesidor is also a stylistic fit as a potential pocket-crushing edge.

Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia

Mocked by: The Athletic beat writer mock

During a conference call with reporters, Monroe Freeling was called “Dan Campbell-ey” by Jeremiah of NFL Network. He’s a tough, physical and viewed as a big-time upside type of offensive tackle option. He started only 16 games across the last two seasons at Georgia. But he’s played alongside Tate Ratledge and is an imposing presence to mold at 6-foot-7, 315 pounds. Freeling is a strong athlete who many think is just scratching the surface of his potential. He battled through injuries to stay active last season. It’s hard not to like Freeling for Detroit.

T.J. Parker, EDGE, Clemson

Mocked by: NFL’s Daniel Jeremiah

T.J. Parker is having a bit of a resurgence after a down season. This time last year, Parker was viewed as a likely top-10 pick in the 2026 draft. It was for good reason, too. Parker was coming off a season with 19.5 tackles for loss and 11 sacks as a sophomore. And that was after he had 12.5 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks as a freshman. But his numbers dipped to career lows in tackles for loss (9.5) and sacks (five) this past season. Parker was one of the standouts at the Senior Bowl, and his talent is clear even after a curiously down 2025.

Keldric Faulk, EDGE, Auburn

Mocked by: Pro Football Focus, Fantasy Pros

The thing about Keldric Faulk is that he is a no-doubt stylistic fit for what the Lions have preferred for their defensive line under Holmes. He’s a big, mighty edge defender who is great at stopping the rush with the ability to kick inside. On one hand, he’s only 20 years old and has even more room to grow. On the other, it wouldn’t be the worst idea for Detroit to try something else opposite Hutchinson. Faulk is an elite run defender, and honestly, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Lions fall for him.
