Notes: NFL announces Detroit Lions offseason workout dates

The idea behind voluntary offseason workout programs is to allow players to train and work on their conditioning.

5 OT-hungry teams that could disrupt Detroit Lions’ draft
While there is no certainty that the Detroit Lions will select an offensive tackle with the 17th overall pick, it is certainly a high possibility. With Taylor Decker and Dan Skipper leaving this offseason and Detroit only adding Larry Borom on a one-year deal, offensive tackle remains both a short and long-term need. This year’s […]

Discussion: Which 2025 starter could lose their starting role in 2026?
By the time that the 2026 regular season rolls around, the Detroit Lions’ starting lineup could look quite different to 2025. For one, the Lions have lost multiple contributors in free agency. The Lions have supplemented these departures with external signings and will continue to do so with the NFL Draft. However, there is also […]
2026 NFL mock draft: Baltimore Ravens select Francis Mauigoa
The Detroit Lions are just three picks away from being on the clock in our 2026 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft. Only the Ravens, Buccaneers, and Jets stand in the way of the Lions (headed by Erik Schlitt in this year’s mock) getting the best player they can get. As a reminder, our month-long […]

Report: Taylor Decker not interested in signing with NFC North rivals
It’s been a quiet market for former Detroit Lions left tackle Taylor Decker since the team granted his release request last month. That isn’t to say that the market has been cold, necessarily—Decker could simply be taking his time, weighing his options, and is likely still considering retirement. However, according to one Detroit Lions beat […]
Penei Sewell: left or right tackle — Lions fans nearly all agree
Earlier this week, we published our latest SB Nation Reacts survey, sponsored by the folks over at FanDuel Sportsbook, asking Detroit Lions fans one question: Would you prefer the Lions to shift Penei Sewell to LT or keep him at RT? For this hypothetical exercise, most Lions fans said their preferences aligned with what coach […]
Discussion: What is a Detroit Lions sneaky need for the NFL Draft?
As we approach the 2026 NFL Draft, the talk around the Detroit Lions has surrounded two specific needs: offensive tackle and defensive end. The discussion is warranted, as the Lions find themselves thin at both areas. After moving on from Taylor Decker and watching Dan Skipper retire, the Lions have only added Larry Borom to […]
2026 NFL mock draft: Dallas Cowboys select CB Mansoor Delane
The Dallas Cowboys are on the clock in our Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft. Please, please, hold your boos. Selecting for the Cowboys in this mock draft is commenter 1951LION.

We’re less than three weeks away from the 2026 NFL Draft, and the mock draft networks are churning out predictions at a fever pace.

2026 NFL mock draft: Kansas City Chiefs select Caleb Downs
When I was first reminded that the Kansas City Chiefs had the ninth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, I was trying remember what they traded to get a top-10 pick. It quickly dawned on me just how much of a disaster the 2025 season was for the Chiefs, and the reason they have […]

What it might cost Detroit Lions to move up in 2026 NFL Draft
It wasn’t the eventful, splashy, or exciting free agency people had hoped it would be for the Detroit Lions. A three-year, $25 million deal for Cade Mays headlined a bunch of other short-term solutions while long-term fits marinate. But even if Detroit’s approach to free agency left you wanting more, there’s still time for them […]

Everyone has that one friend or family member whose basement or office looks like it could be out of a sports fan’s dream. The kind where it would be a dream to sit back, relax, and watch a Detroit Lions’ game, like Lions fan Patrick DeVito’s epic setup. And with the sharp rise of collector […]
2026 NFL mock draft: New Orleans Saints select Rueben Bain
Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints for finally making it out of salary cap hell. This offseason, they managed to sign a bunch of new free agents and didn’t even have to use void years! Now, they must start hitting on their draft picks again if they want to compete in a volatile NFC South. […]

NFL mock draft season is ramping up, and ESPN just hit us with a three-round mock that may have fallen perfectly for the Detroit Lions, particularly in the first round.

Discussion: Predicting the Detroit Lions’ 2026 starting offensive line
One of the Detroit Lions’ major offseason goals this year was to fix the offensive line. Last year, the retirement of Frank Ragnow took a huge chunk out of the unit’s efficiency, and with injuries and youth along the interior, there was a lot of inconsistency and downright bad play. Adding to the challenge this […]

NFL.com proposes blockbuster Detroit Lions draft-day trade
The Detroit Lions haven’t made many headlines for their offseason moves this year, and that’s been mostly by design. Detroit is trying to manage a tight budget, make fringe improvements, and keep their long-term cap health in a good spot. But if there’s one place they could make a splash, it’s in the upcoming NFL […]
