The Detroit Lions have taken a measured approach to free agency, opting for strategic depth signings rather than splashy moves. With the NFL Draft approaching, analysts are adjusting their projections for Detroit’s first-round pick at No. 28, focusing on areas that still need reinforcement.
Recent mock drafts highlight several potential targets for the Lions, including Texas A&M EDGE Nic Scourton, Ole Miss DL Walter Nolen, and Arkansas EDGE Landon Jackson. Other analysts suggest bolstering the offensive line with Alabama’s Tyler Booker or addressing defensive tackle depth with Michigan’s Kenneth Grant. While Detroit’s defense was hit hard by injuries last season, adding another disruptive presence alongside Aidan Hutchinson remains a priority.
