Is it just me, or is the time that takes place between the end of the Super Bowl and the draft the slowest moving portion of the calendar each year? Where the fall feels like it is moving at 1.5 speed, the end of Winter feels the exact opposite. With that said. we are now exactly two weeks away from the start of the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, so myself (Morgan) and my good friend Meko decided it was time to throw our hat in the mock draft circle.
We are going to do two more before
the actual draft kicks off, with this first one being from our own perspectives. We set some ground rules for ourselves, and went with what we personally want the Lions to do come draft weekend. Slight spoiler alert—if you are of the mindset that the Detroit Lions need to address both the offensive tackle and defensive end positions with their first two selections in this year’s draft, you should come away from this excercise pretty happy.
After the first two rounds, we had some interesting conversations regarding how we wanted to fill out the rest of the Lions’ 2026 draft class. Overall, I was pleased with our haul. We addressed a few positions of need, and added competition to other rooms that could use another infusion of youth and talent. You can watch the entire video right here.
