Lions Eye Georgia Guard Dylan Fairchild as Future Starter
With Kevin Zeitler heading to Tennessee, the Detroit Lions are looking to secure their future at guard. While second-year lineman Christian Mahogany showed promise in limited action last season, Detroit may look to add another young talent to groom for a starting role.
Jacob Infante of Pro Football Network predicts the Lions will use their compensatory third-round pick on Georgia’s Dylan Fairchild. The former Bulldogs standout brings a strong mix of athleticism and football IQ, allowing just one sack over the past two seasons. Though he may not start immediately, Fairchild could develop into a long-term replacement for Graham Glasgow, whose struggles last season raised concerns about his future.
