Predicting the Detroit Lions Starting Lineup Following 2026 NFL Draft
Here is a full prediction of the Detroit Lions starting lineup following the 2026 NFL Draft, featuring key stars and new additions.
Now that the dust has settled on the 2026 NFL Draft , the Detroit Lions roster is starting to take shape. There will be plenty of battles during camp, but if the season started today, here’s a strong projection of what Detroit’s starting offense could look like. Quarterback Jared Goff No surprises here.
Goff remains the clear leader of the offense and will benefit heavily from the upgrades in front of him. Running Back Jahmyr Gibbs Gibbs is the engine. Expect him to continue to be a dynamic weapon both on the ground and through the air.
Wide Receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown Jameson Williams Isaac TeSlaa This group has a little bit of everything, elite reliability, vertical speed, and developing size on the outside with TeSlaa stepping into a bigger role. Tight End Sam LaPorta LaPorta continues to be one of the most dangerous mismatch weapons in the league.
Offensive Line Left Tackle: Penei Sewell Left Guard: Juice Scruggs Center: Cade Mays Right Guard: Tate Ratledge Right Tackle: Blake Miller This is where things get really interesting. Detroit is clearly reshaping the offensive line following the departure of Taylor Decker. Moving Sewell to the left side gives the Lions an elite anchor, while first-round pick Blake Miller steps in as the likely right tackle.
