TWENTYMAN: 5 positions of need for Lions
Detroit Lions • • sports
Key Points:
- Detroit Lions GM Brad Holmes is preparing for his sixth NFL Draft, focusing on selecting the best available players and not hesitating to trade picks to move up or down for the right talent.
- The Lions have nine picks this year and are targeting impact players to add talent and depth, with key roster needs identified at tackle, edge rusher, safety, tight end, and cornerback.
- At tackle, the Lions have All-Pro Penei Sewell and veteran Larry Borom, but there is room for competition and depth, especially with Giovanni Manu needing to show improvement.
- The edge rusher position is deep in this draft, and Detroit aims to complement All-Pro Aidan Hutchinson by replacing lost production from Al-Quadin Muhammad with new young pass rushers.
- Safety and cornerback positions have some uncertainties due to injuries and contract situations, while tight end is a potential future concern given limited long-term contracts beyond 2026, despite having key players like Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright.
