The Detroit Lions are predicted to add Dylan Fairchild, a talented guard from Georgia, as a potential replacement for Graham Glasgow. Fairchild boasts an impressive college pedigree, having started for the Bulldogs’ dominant line over the past two seasons, including back-to-back national championships in 2021 and 2022.
Fairchild’s stats are impressive, with only one sack, one quarterback hit, and 12 hurries allowed in two years as a starter. He also earned an elite pass-block grade of 87.0 and a run-blocking grade of 71.8 in 2024.
The Lions might select him with their compensatory third-round pick, providing a young and capable replacement for Glasgow, whose performance has been a concern. It’s worth noting that Glasgow struggled last year, prompting worries about his entering the decline phase of his career. While Glasgow is signed through the 2026 season, the Lions are wise to plan ahead and ensure a smooth transition to a younger player.
