Detroit Lions 2026 NFL Draft Landing Page

The Detroit Lions currently have nine selections in the 2026 NFL Draft.

This year, the team possesses the No. 17 overall pick in the first round. While general manager Brad Holmes could make the decision to trade up to land their top target, Detroit does not currently have a third round pick in this year's draft.

In several of the latest mock drafts released, the team is linked to Alabama Crimson Tide offensive lineman Kadyn Proctor.

Nick Saban, appearing on "The Pat McAfee Show" this week, provided his opinions about the 6'7, 358-pound lineman.

"The issue with Proctor is, he's not a bad person. He'll do whatever you ask him to, once you get him in the building. But when he's not in the building, he might get a little overweight, he might not come in in the best shape," said Saban. "And those are the things you have to manage with him. But, I think they're manageable. He's not exactly a self-starter who will get in great shape and come to camp like you want him. But, if you can get him to come to camp, once you got him there, you can get him ready to go. So, I don't think that's a huge negative for the guy."
