Welcome back to Passing Time: Detroit Lions Talk — the podcast where we break down everything happening with the Detroit Lions.
In Episode 48, we dive deep into the latest Lions news and draft strategy heading into the upcoming NFL Draft.
First, we break down Brad Holmes’ pre-draft interview, including why he skipped the NFL owners meetings to focus on draft preparation, his thoughts on free agency, and how the Lions approach building a roster when financial constraints start to appear.
Holmes also reinforces Detroit’s commitment to the Best Player Available draft strategy, explains how the team evaluates player age, and talks about the importance of premium positions like offensive tackle and pass rusher. We also discuss the latest on the Alex Anzalone situation, the Terrion Arnold update, and why the Lions are never satisfied with where their defense stands.
Then we take a deep dive into Round 2 draft prospects who could be on the Lions’ radar, including:
Treydan Stukes (CB) – versatile secondary help
Gennings Dunker (OT) – long-term offensive line solution
Zion Young (EDGE) – pass-rush partner for Aidan Hutchinson
Malachi Lawrence (EDGE) – developmental edge rusher
Christen Miller (DT) – interior defensive line depth
Gabe Jacas (EDGE) – high-motor Big Ten pass rusher
We also explore several other prospects across the defensive line, linebacker, secondary, and offensive line that could fit the Dan Campbell culture and the Lions’ roster build.
Plus, we walk through a full first-round mock draft scenario, analyzing where key players could land and how it impacts Detroit’s options.
To wrap things up, we hit Bill’s Bullet Points, covering the latest in Michigan sports including the Detroit Tigers, Pistons, Michigan basketball, and the Red Wings.
