Lions 2026 NFL Draft picks: Here's where Detroit will be on the clock
The Lions are slated to have nine picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, including No. 17 in the first round.
Detroit Lions GM Brad Holmes is poised to enter the 2026 NFL Draft with nine selections. The collection of picks includes one in every round except for the third because of last year's move for wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa. The Lions have six picks after the third round, though only one of those (157th) originally belongs to them.
The others were acquired in deals with the Houston Texans (David Montgomery), Jacksonville Jaguars (TeSlaa) and Cleveland Browns (Za'Darius Smith). Keep in mind: These are merely the picks the Lions have heading into the draft. Holmes is known for traversing the board, moving up and down to put Detroit in position to select the players he wants.
