Ranking the Detroit Lions 2026 free agent signings: 17-10
For the most part, over the last month, there’s been plenty of outspoken disappointment and second-guessing surrounding the Detroit Lions’ less-than-splashy free agent approach. Their $50.8M in total contract value ranks 27th league-wide—still more than four playoff teams (Eagles, Packers, Broncos, Jaguars). Notably, only three of the 14 playoff teams from 2025 ranked in the […]
Why the Detroit Lions should draft Olaivavega Ioane
This offseason has seemingly gone by at light speed and we are now less than a week away from the draft—a pivotal draft at that for the Detroit Lions. With the Lions being so cap strapped and passive in free agency, they will once again look to build through the draft. This is where they […]
2026 NFL mock draft: Picks, grades from our full 2-round mock
Our 2026 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft has come to a close. Before I reveal the final results, I just want to thank our entire community for helping put this together. It requires a lot of coordinator and our participants this year were on the ball throughout the entire process. Not only did we […]
Discussion: Which Detroit Lions player would be the best tag-team partner?
Let’s take a step away from NFL Draft talk for a minute. We could use a break from arguing who is the best offensive tackle or defensive end in this year’s class. Instead, let’s talk WrestleMania. It’s okay, I’m not secretly kidnapped. I promise. WrestleMania is this weekend, and apparently it’s now a two-day event. […]
2026 Detroit Lions Mock Draft Roundup 12.0: Final predictions from 72 experts
The NFL Draft is just days away, and analysts are publishing their final mock drafts of the 2026 offseason. As we do every week in the offseason, we’ll round up this week’s projection—we explored 72 different mock drafts from the past seven days—and organize the predictions by prospect, as well as provide some Detroit Lions-related […]
Notes: Michigan native stands outside Lions’ practice facility asking for a tryout
A former EMU football player is making national headlines for standing outside the Detroit Lions practice facility with a sign asking for a tryout. NFL hopeful Freddie McGee III went viral after several Lions reporters took pictures and spoke with him as he stood in Allen Park holding a sign with his stats and the […]
2026 NFL Draft profile: Why the Detroit Lions should draft Keldric Faulk
For years, Detroit Lions fans have been begging the front office to spend high resources on a defensive end opposite Aidan Hutchinson. Detroit’s pass rush may be putting up the pressures and sacks, but the time it’s taking to get to the quarterback is causing the secondary to get toasted in between sacks. Well, the […]
2026 NFL mock draft: Detroit Lions land powerful EDGE at pick No. 50
Our 2026 Pride of Detroit Community Mock is well into the second round (track each pick here) and has reached the Detroit Lions and pick No. 50 overall. After selecting Utah right tackle Spencer Fano at pick No. 17 in the first round, I am back on the clock for the Lions’ next pick. As […]
NFL mock draft: Top 11 options for Detroit Lions at Pick 50
The Detroit Lions are on the clock for their second-round pick in our site-wide 2026 NFL mock draft. This draft is run by our commenters. We took 31 of our most loyal commenters and asked them to act as general managers for 31 teams. The Lions’ general manager is our own Erik Schlitt. We’ve spent […]
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 […]
