The Lions have some decisions to make when it comes to their pass rush. They could consider big-name veterans like Von Miller or Matthew Judon, but at this stage in their careers, they’re more situational players. Another option is Azeez Ojulari, a younger player with potential but a history of injuries, meaning he might need to prove himself on a short-term deal.
How the Draft Fits In
When looking at the draft, the Lions’ choices might depend on how they see Levi Onwuzurike’s role. If they plan to use him mostly on the inside, they might wait until the later rounds to add depth at defensive tackle. But if they view him as a hybrid player who splits time between defensive tackle and edge rusher, they’ll likely prioritize getting more help inside.
Regardless of Onwuzurike’s role, edge rusher is still Detroit’s biggest defensive need—maybe even their top priority overall. They could go after one early in the draft or wait until later rounds. The type of player they target will depend on how they use Onwuzurike.
If he plays more on the edge, they won’t need a bigger edge rusher and can just go after the best talent available. But if he’s playing more inside, they’ll probably look for larger defensive ends who fit their physical, tough-in-the-trenches style of play.
