ESPN's Adam Schefter shares Detroit Lions NFL draft intel
ESPN's Adam Schefter shared his latest NFL draft intel on the Detroit Lions' No. 17 overall pick.
With the 2026 NFL draft now just days away, ESPN's Adam Schefter shared his "can't miss draft intel" for all 32 teams on his Monday podcast episode alongside Ty Schmit of the Pat McAfee Show. Here's what Schefter had to say about the Detroit Lions and pick No. 17 overall: "Look, they’ve got a big hole at right tackle.
They’re going to move Penei Sewell to left tackle. Right tackle, they could go Spencer Fano from Utah. They could go Kadyn Proctor from Alabama .
I think that the Lions ’ two biggest needs going into this would be offensive tackle, pass rusher. "And I think that the way the board shapes up, we’re going to be in an area here where we’re going to start to see a bunch of offensive linemen go. We could see up to 10 potentially offensive linemen go in the first round.
And I think it starts right around say 11 to Miami . From 11 to Miami to say the Patriots at 31, those 20 picks, you may see half of them, almost half of them be offensive linemen," Schefter said. It's a lot of what we have already heard and know.
