With the 2026 NFL Draft scheduled for April 23-25 in Pittsburgh, the Detroit Lions are prioritizing the offensive tackle position. Following the release of veteran Taylor Decker, the team has signed Larry Borom, who will compete for a starting role. General manager Brad Holmes believes Borom has potential, but the Lions aim to secure a young, cost-controlled tackle to ensure long-term stability. The draft class is rich in talent, with top prospects like Francis Mauigoa from Miami and Spencer Fano from Utah, both expected to be selected early. Mauigoa is projected as the first tackle off the board, while Fano is noted for his athleticism and solid performance in college. Other potential options include Monroe Freeling from Georgia and Kadyn Proctor from Alabama. The Lions are in a strong position to address their needs in the first round, where they can find a tackle to pair with Penei Sewell for years to come.
