The Detroit Lions are set to make a significant impact in the 2026 NFL Draft with nine selections, including their first-round pick at 17th overall. General Manager Brad Holmes has crafted this collection of picks, which includes selections in every round except the third, due to last year's trade for wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa. The Lions possess six picks after the third round, with only one (the 157th) originally belonging to them. The remaining picks were acquired through trades with the Houston Texans for running back David Montgomery, the Jacksonville Jaguars for TeSlaa, and the Cleveland Browns for defensive end Za'Darius Smith. Holmes is known for his ability to maneuver during the draft, making it likely that the Lions will trade up or down to secure the players they desire.
