Why
Detroit needs to reinforce EDGE and CB; these are the two positions currently lacking a clear starter or reliable depth. Beyond that, DL and WR also require competition to avoid falling short in the medium term.

Track record read
Brad Holmes' Lions consistently prioritize high-end talent in the trenches and secondary, signaling a clear intent to build from the line of scrimmage and neutralize opposing explosiveness. With early picks, they target blue-chip Power 5 prospects from programs like Alabama or Iowa, exemplified by Jahmyr Gibbs and Terrion Arnold. This strategy underscores their focus on athletic profiles, even when consensus projects a slight reach, prioritizing upside and a high floor of contributors.
The board · Rounds 1–7
Three names per every pick.
Only the rounds where the team owns a pick (per Tankathon). A blend of need plus best value on the board.
First round
2 names
Colin Simmons
Texas
EDGESu primer paso explosivo aporta el EDGE que la defensa pide a gritos; si mejora el ancla contra la carrera puede ser el terror del tercer down.
Leonard Moore
Notre Dame
CBMoore es el CB1 de inmediato que el cuerpo pide a gritos. Su fluidez y capacidad de espejo lo hacen un pilar para la secundaria.
Second round
1 name
Third round
3 names
Clev Lubin
Louisville
EDGEParche inmediato en Edge, un tipo con un bend y palanca que ya pocos enseñan. El techo, si amplifica los movimientos, es top.
Brice Pollock
Texas Tech
CBParche inmediato en CB, y con esas caderas sí puede cubrir. El floor es alto, el techo lo pone la fuerza en el jam.
Sabastian Harsh
Wyoming
DLMotor inagotable para el pass rush, Harsh parcha el D-line con floor de rotación. Ese first step es oro puro.
