The 2026 NFL draft is finally here, and we here at Pride of Detroit will be covering each of the Detroit Lions’ drafted players with an array of in-depth articles. But for those who want to track the team’s progress without sorting through the website’s front page, this article will offer an alternative.

This tracker will give Lions fans an at-a-glance look at who the team has drafted so far, some important details about the players, links to articles we have written about said players, and will be continually updated throughout all three days of the draft, thanks to a sponsorship from the folks over at FanDuel Sportsbook.

This year, the Lions enter the draft with nine draft picks, including pick No. 17 on Day 1 (here’s how and when to watch), pick No. 50 on Day 2, and the seven remaining picks on Day 3 (picks No. 118, 128, 157, 181, 205, 213, and 222).

So make sure to bookmark this page and check in for all the updates.

Round 1, pick No. 17: Blake Miller, RT, Clemson

The Lions have prioritized revamping their offensive line this offseason, and adding a starting offensive tackle in the first round could be the final piece to their offseason puzzle. Coach Dan Campbell has stated that the team is open to moving All-Pro Penei Sewell to left tackle if the right RT presents himself, and Miller would certainly meet those qualifications.

While still just 22 years old, Miller has an impressive 54 starts at RT at Clemson and is arguably the most consistent and ready-to-play OT in this draft class. His combination of size (6-foot-7, 318 pounds), toughness, athleticism (9.90 RAS), GRIT (6th-best player on our Grit Index), football intelligence, and leadership makes him a very appealing prospect for the Lions, but it’s his gritty demeanor that makes him a perfect fit. Miller simply doesn’t take shortcuts in his work ethic, as he is unwilling to let his team down. This is most clearly evidenced by the fact that he missed just one practice during his entire four years at Clemson (due to having wrist surgery) and was back on the field the following day.

TRADE: Lions acquire pick No. 44 from the Jets for picks No. 50 and 128Round 2, pick 44: Derrick Moore, EDGE, Michigan

Moore is a balanced edge rusher who sets a firm edge with his power and violence, and wins as a pass rusher mainly due to his effort. Like Blake Miller, Moore has a very high developmental floor and should challenge DJ Wonnum for a starting role opposite Aidan Hutchinson from the moment he arrives in Allen Park.

Round 4, pick 118: Jimmy Rolder, LB, Michigan

While Rolder has limited starting experience, he is a technically sound linebacker with great instincts and reaction timing. He’s an upside player who will immediately contribute on special teams, while being a legitimate contender for a starting WILL linebacker role. When you watch his film, you wouldn’t know he’s only started for one season, as he flows effortlessly to the football, can run with tight ends in coverage, and is a violent hitter.

Round 5, pick 157: Keith Abney, CB, Arizona State

Widely considered a Top 100 pick by national draft analysts, the Lions grab Abney in the fifth round, adding depth to their secondary. With inside-out range, Abney has the skills to back up on the outside while also challenging to start in the slot. Highly competitive—he ranked in the top 30 on the Grit Index with a 9.07 score—Abney is a bit of a work in progress, but he has starter upside.

Remaining draft picks:
  • Round 5, pick 181
  • Round 6, pick 205
  • Round 6, pick 213
  • Round 7, pick 222
