Yahoo Sports

Who should the Lions target in Rounds 4-7 of the 2026 NFL Draft based on medical concerns and injury history?

The Detroit Lions drafted healthy, reliable players in Rounds One and Two of the 2026 NFL Draft in Blake Miller and Derrick Moore . If they follow this same strategy for the rest of the draft, who should be their targets? Here are remaining prospects sorted by position and medical concern level from 0-10.

Only players with concern levels of 2/10 or lower are included from my full Positional Need Medical Big Board . As you can see, there are lots of good options at safety and RB - two positions where the Lions could use some healthy, long-term players.
