2026 NFL Draft: Why the Detroit Lions should pick Keionte Scott on Day 2
With the 2026 NFL Draft quickly approaching, the Detroit Lions find themselves in a different spot from years past. After drafting largely for depth and developmental players the last couple of years, the Lions are in need of immediate contributors, and those players can be most easily found with either of their first two picks—No. […]
Mailbag: What to make of Detroit Lions’ draft rumors—and lack thereof
If you’ve been desperately looking for hints at what the Detroit Lions will do in next week’s draft, you’re likely pretty frustrated right now. The Lions have done a good job keeping their intentions close to the vest, and with Lions general manager Brad Holmes changing up their pre-draft process a little, what they do […]
2026 NFL mock draft: Revealing picks 33-49
The 2026 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft concluded its first round on Wednesday night. But we’ve got an entire second round to get to. Unlike the first round, we are not doing individual posts for each pick. Rather, we’re revealing the first half of the second round right now—leading right up to the Lions’ […]
What Detroit Lions could acquire in a 1st-round trade down
A few weeks ago, our own Ryan Mathews broke down what it would cost if the Detroit Lions were to trade up in the 2026 NFL Draft. Now let’s look at the other side of the coin. The Lions may be more interested in trading down this year. Entering the draft without any picks between […]
Discussion: Predicting how the Detroit Lions will surprise in the 2026 NFL Draft
We’re officially just a week away from the 2026 NFL Draft, and it feels like we’re no closer to being able to predict what the Detroit Lions could do. Each year, Lions general manager Brad Holmes seems to do something unexpected. Whether it’s taking a running back and linebacker in the first round, drafting back-to-back […]
2026 NFL mock draft: Seattle Seahawks pick Brandon Cisse
The first round of our 2026 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft closes with the Seattle Seahawks. This mock, which is run by 31 of our most loyal commenters, will run two full rounds. But this pick will close out our first. Acting as general manager for the Seahawks in this mock draft is commenter […]
2026 NFL Draft: Full 7-round Detroit Lions mock, with trades
Now that we are another week closer to the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, myself and my good friend Meko Scott are back with a second iteration of our 2026 Detroit Lions mock draft. In our first attempt last week, we decided we would draft using our own perspectives on what makes sense for […]
2026 NFL mock draft: New England Patriots select Omar Cooper Jr.
The New England Patriots are back, much to everyone’s chagrin. The post-Bill Belichick era was looking refreshingly bleak in Foxborough, but with Mike Vrabel at the helm, the team saw a sudden resurgence all the way to the Super Bowl last year. Now, as we approach Pick 31 in our Pride of Detroit Community Mock […]
The Detroit Lions are changing up their pre-draft process
This offseason, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell promised that, after a failed 2025 season, they will look at everything they do to see what needs to change. “When it doesn’t work the way that we want it to work, it’s a number of things,” Campbell said back in January. “There are a lot of things that go […]
Discussion: Will the Detroit Lions make a 3rd-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft?
The Detroit Lions currently have a huge gap in their picks for the 2026 NFL Draft. After the 50th overall pick, the Lions will have to wait until Pick 118 until they’re on the clock again. That’s essentially two full rounds of draft picks that Lions general manager Brad Holmes and company will have to […]
2026 NFL mock draft: Miami Dolphins select CB Colton Hood
The Miami Dolphins had the most controversial pick in the first round of our 2026 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft, selecting Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson with the 11th overall pick. But POD commenter Xlgrev is back on the clock at 30, and hoping to build upon their 2026 class. Before we get to the […]
2026 NFL mock draft: Kansas City Chiefs select Zion Young
The Kansas City Chiefs are on the clock again in our 2026 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft. Earlier in the draft, commenter sprtn66—who is acting as the Chiefs’ general manager in this mock—selected Ohio State safety Caleb Downs with the ninth overall pick. How will they follow up that pick? Add an offensive weapon […]
Did Brad Holmes give any tips about the Detroit Lions’ draft?
It’s lying season. That was probably my first thought after Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes stepped away from the lectern Monday morning after his pre-draft press conference. Like most Holmes press conferences, there wasn’t much that could be consider “BREAKING NEWS.” Holmes sidestepped the questions that would require too revealing of an answer, and […]
Why the Detroit Lions should draft Francis Mauigoa
The 2026 NFL Draft is less than two weeks away, which is crazy to think. Usually, the offseason drags on, but this year has felt different, despite the Detroit Lions not making the playoffs in 2025. After making it in back-to-back seasons, the Lions took a step back last year. One reason for that was […]
Discussion: Is Lions GM Brad Holmes telling the truth about OT, EDGE?
On Monday, Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes held his pre-draft press conference, answering media questions for just about 20 minutes before heading back to work in preparation for the 2026 NFL Draft. As an NFL general manager, you have essentially one goal for these press conferences: don’t say anything. Don’t give away your intentions, […]
Lions News: Holly shares awesome Dan Campbell video for his 50th birthday
Monday was a big day in the Campbell household as Dan celebrated his 50th birthday. To appease the fans who love behind-the-scenes photos of the Detroit Lions’ head coach, his wife Holly released a mashup of some fun pictures and videos to celebrate the big 5-0. To celebrate, I looked around for a fun, random […]
2026 NFL mock draft: Houston Texans select Blake Miller
The Houston Texans are on the clock in our 2026 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft, and it feels like they could go in a million different directions. Long gone are the days in which the Texans were a forgotten franchise in a pitiful division. The AFC South is suddenly competitive, and the Texans need […]
Detroit Lions not afraid to ‘eff them picks’ in 2026 NFL Draft
Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes has earned a reputation for being aggressive in the NFL Draft. Through five drafts thus far, he’s traded up 12 times during the NFL Draft, while he’s only traded down three times. In the past two drafts alone, he’s traded up eight times but hasn’t traded down once. During […]
GM Brad Holmes: Detroit Lions don’t have to draft OT, EDGE
If you look at any Detroit Lions mock draft these days, you’ll almost certainly see an offensive tackle or defensive end mocked to them with a first or second-round pick (or both). It’s almost universally viewed as the team’s biggest needs going into next week 2026 NFL Draft. But during his pre-draft press conference on […]
2026 NFL mock draft: San Francisco 49ers select Caleb Lomu
With less than two weeks before the 2026 NFL Draft, our annual Community Mock Draft is getting closer to the end of the first round. As a reminder, our Community Mock Draft is where 31 of our most loyal commenters are acting as general manager of 31 different teams, while Erik Schlitt manages the Detroit […]
Several Detroit Lions mourn passing of former teammate Chris Payton-Jones
According to several reports, former Detroit Lions cornerback Chris Payton-Jones died on Saturday night in a fatal car crash in Florida. Payton-Jones first joined the Lions in 2018 after going undrafted following a four-year stint at Nebraska. Though Payton-Jones didn’t make the team that year, he returned to Detroit in 2020 after spending two seasons […]
2026 NFL Draft: Why the Detroit Lions should pick Jacob Rodriguez
The 2026 NFL Draft is just around the corner, and it could be a pivotal moment for the Detroit Lions to get their franchise back on track. While the 17th-overall pick in the draft will have a number of viable targets, Day 2 of the draft could be just as important. With multiple positions in […]
Discussion: Which positions could the Detroit Lions unexpectedly draft in the first round?
The Detroit Lions need help at offensive tackle and defensive end. This has become a fact over the recent weeks in the leadup to the 2026 NFL Draft. As mock drafts have predicted for months, one of these two positions are reasonable targets for Detroit in the first round, and there should be an ample […]
2026 NFL mock draft: Buffalo Bills select Kayden McDonald
We’re nearing the end of the first round in our 2026 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft. If you’re just joining, this is a mock draft we’re creating with commenters from our community. We’ve selected 31 of our most loyal fans and slotted them to represent 31 other teams. The Detroit Lions are represented by […]
2026 NFL mock draft: Chicago Bears select Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Despite their success last season, the Chicago Bears remained owned by the Detroit Lions in 2025, losing to their rival twice during the regular season. With a wildly successful season under first-time head coach Ben Johnson, they’re hoping to take their franchise to another level and get out from under the thumb of the Lions. […]
