NFL draft run on OL expected before Detroit Lions’ pick

Story byWith Detroit likely to address its offensive line in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Lions may need to move up to get their desired target, as the latest intel from experts suggests a string of offensive tackles could be taken around the middle of the first round.According to Jordan Schultz, he predicts a run on offensive linemen to begin around the No. 10-14 picks and has gathered intel from several general managers who expect at least nine offensive linemen to hear their names called on the first day of the NFL draft.While the Lions currently hold the No. 17 overall selection, the previously mentioned prediction by Schultz may push Detroit to trade up a few picks to assure they can draft their desired prospect.AdvertisementWhether there is any validity to Schultz's statement is yet to be seen and will only be revealed as the first round unfolds in Pittsburgh on Thursday night.For more Lions coverage, follow us on X, @TheLionsWire, and give our Facebook page a like.
