As we enter Day 1 of the NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions are sitting in a decent, but not enviable position to add to the core players on the roster starting with tonight's Round 1 of the 2026 Draft. Millions of mock drafts have been put together by people all across the world, and the Lions have been trending as taking an OT at Pick #17, specifically with Alabama OT Kadyn Proctor as the favorite. While I am not so sure that is the way Brad Holmes will go, he is one of the few players the Detroit Lions met with more than once during the pre-draft process. Regardless of what Holmes does, below is out quick Draft Profile for the Lions as we kick of Round 1 tonight.
