Regardless, the Lions met with Proctor at the combine. They may have met with other tackles, but I have not specifically seen information about it. I have seen several mock drafts with the Lions picking Proctor at 17. In other drafts, I have seen him slipping to the last few pics of the first round, and I think I even recall one where he was early in the second round.

https://www.nfl.com/news/charles-davis-2026-nfl-mock-draft-2-0-cardinals-seahawks-select-notre-dame-rbs-in-round-1 Charles Davis doesn't have an OT going until pick 9 with Mauigoa. Has Spencer Fano going at 14. Says he likes Proctor to Detroit at 17, but mocks Miami DE Mesidor. Then has Miller at 24, Freeling at 27, Lomu at 28, and Proctor at 31. OTOH, I've seen Freeling mocked as high as 5. But I suspect that at 17, Detroit will have at least three very good OT options to choose from. This makes me think that Brad would be happy to move back. They met with Proctor at the combine. My understanding is that he needs work in pass pro but he is a beast in the run game. And we know Brad loves players from Alabama. I could see them taking him and doubling down with bookends at tackle who are absolute bullies in run blocking.

It seems like it is basically a wash when comparing him to Decker from last season. if the goal is to rebuild the team’s identity on the offensive line, he does not move the needle. But he gives you the same performance as Decker for substantially less money.

Maybe I'm the only one who didn't know this yet, but Borom graduated from Brother Rice in Birmingham. Came out in the same draft class as Sewell, they share an agent, and Borom considers Sewell "a close friend." https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/nfl/lions/2026/03/12/larry-borom-from-detroit-still-cant-believe-hes-signed-with-lions/89117653007/ He's a credible starter at LT or RT and can probably be expected to match Decker's performance from last year. I still think they will draft an OT in the first round, and I still think there is enough depth at that position that Brad might figure out how to drop back a few slots and give himself an at bat in the third round.

Was nice to see Perron bring some energy.

They hung in there. Didn’t deserve to win but came away with a point.

Chinese peptides?

🤷‍♂️

Would not want Anthony Richardson for any amount or no amount. After the Hooker debacle let’s just move on from the dream of buying low on an injured mobile QB.

I agree with all of this. But you see guys like McCarthy bounce around.

Man, that dude Kwesi really bungled the Minnesota QB situation. Ran off a guy who had finally pulled it all together, and then turned a talented young prospect into a persona non grata. Yes, the Lions should bring in McCarthy if they have the chance. He has great talent but needs time to develop and would be in a great position to do it in Detroit.

Yes, as awful as they were last year offensively, they were fifth in both YPG and PPG. With a new OC and a plug-and-play OT from the draft, it is not unreasonable to expect they will be a top five offense next year. Also, Brad has ten draft picks. One will be used for an OT, and he will probably package some to move up, but it is likely that he can pick up two or three players who can make immediate contributions to the defense as well as a few depth players.

I would be very surprised to see Brad trade up in the first round for an edge rusher. I would not be surprised to see him trade back, even to the front of the second round, and still get a starting OT.

Sportrac has Cam Jordan’s market value pegged at 1 year, $6.8 million. If the choice was between Muhummad at $6 and Jordan at $6.8, I’d take Jordan. But let’s go, Brad.
