"Boosting the offensive line will be a huge focus for the Lions heading into the 2026 season. Detroit needs a guy opposite Penei Sewell, regardless if they end up flipping him over to the left side."
"Next up, the Lions have a need opposite Aidan Hutchinson at edge rusher. Hutchinson had 14.5 sacks last season to lead the team. Al-Quadin Muhammad was second with 11.0, but he is now a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers."
The Detroit Lions hold the No. 17 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft after a 9-8 season. The team missed the playoffs following a strong 15-2 record in 2024. Key positions to address include the offensive line, where they seek a tackle and interior lineman, and edge rusher, needing support opposite Aidan Hutchinson. The draft class offers depth at edge rusher, allowing the Lions to prioritize offensive line improvements in the first round.
