The Detroit Lions 2026 draft class has been set and their undrafted rookie free agent class is still being built. But, for now, we have a pretty good feeling on what the Lions’ roster is going to look like. With most of the offseason additions done, things are looking pretty good for Detroit’s depth.
On this week’s PODcast, we discuss the entire Lions’ 2026 NFL Draft class. One-by-one, we break down what each draft pick brings to the Lions, what it could mean for the overall roster and scheme, and,
yes, we succumb to the pressure of grading each selection based on value, talent, and everyone else who was available at each pick.
Collectively, we’re all big fans of the Blake Miller, Derrick Moore, and Keith Abney picks. But we have some debate/discussion/disagreements on Jimmy Rolder and Kendrick Law. We even discuss the final two picks—two defensive tackles who bring some intriguing traits and even better stories—and their likelihood of making an impact on the team.
After that, we discuss the entire draft class. We talk about some surprises along the way, some strategic shifts from Lions general manager Brad Holmes, and our overall thoughts on the draft class.
