Walter football Charlie (21. Dani Dennis-Sutton, DE, Penn State: The Lions have Marcus Davenport and Josh Paschal entering free agency after this season, and they need more consistent pass-rushing production across from Aidan Hutchinson. In 2025, Dennis-Sutton has 25 tackles with two sacks, two passes broken up, two forced fumbles, and a blocked punt. Dennis-Sutton (6-5, 272) is a big body at the point of attack, and he is a tough run defender. In 2024, he recorded 36 tackles, 6.5 sacks, three passes defended, and a forced fumble. He had 26 tackles and 3.5 sacks in 2023. Dennis-Sutton is a good run defender who shows some variety in pass-rushing moves, some quickness to close, and is a tough presence to set the edge. 52. Connor Lew, C, Auburn: Graham Glasgow is aging, and the Lions could use a true replacement for Frank Ragnow. Lew (6-3, 300) broke into the starting lineup during his freshman season and was an impressive blocker for the Tigers. In 2024, Lew was even better and is a well-balanced blocker. He is strong and agile as a run blocker while being very reliable in pass protection. Some sources have said Lew is similar to Creed Humphrey. Lew looks like a potential long-term starter at center or guard in the NFL.) (11-7-25): https://walterfootball.com/draft2026charlie_1.php?rbTop
SN Iyer (20. Cashius Howell, EDGE, Texas A&M (6-2, 248 pounds): Howell's explosiveness and relentlessness wreaking havoc would make him the perfect fit to match the playmaking energy of just-extended Aidan Hutchinson.)

Athletic Baumgartner (23. Matayo Uiagalelei, edge, Oregon: The Lions could look for offensive line help in the first round (either tackle or interior O-line), but a long-term answer opposite Aidan Hutchinson still remains at least a possibility. Uiagalelei, yet another young Oregon defender, has the ability to convert speed to power while playing multiple spots up front. He’d be a perfect Hutchinson complement.): https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6780201/2025/11/06/nfl-mock-draft-2026-jets-cowboys-arvell-reese/
Draft Network Sanchez (21. T.J. Parker, EDGE, Clemson: The Detroit Lions are one of the best teams in the NFL and have proven that over the past few seasons. What they’ve also shown is that they need more help defensively, especially opposite Aidan Hutchinson. In this spot, they finally address the edge rusher position, selecting Clemson edge rusher T.J. Parker to pair with Hutchinson.) (11-5-25): https://thedraftnetwork.com/2025/11/02/nfl-mock-draft-2026-november-2
USA Today Ostly (21. Detroit Lions: Edge LT Overton, Alabama: Detroit's done well to avoid injuries on the defensive line this season compared to last and get another long, tall edge rusher to deploy opposite Aidan Hutchinson. Overton can set the edge in run defense with a physical style of play. At 6-foot-5 and 278 pounds, he could line up at multiple spots on the defensive line as well.)

Athlon Sports Easterling (21. LT Overton | Edge | Alabama: It’s no secret the Lions are still searching for a worthy bookend to line up across from Aidan Hutchinson on the edge of the defensive front, and this year’s loaded class should give them plenty of worthy candidates. Overton is the best fit, thanks to his three-down skill set, alignment versatility, and the kind of toughness and competitiveness that Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell prioritize across the board. 52. Olaivavega Ioane | OG | Penn State): https://athlonsports.com/nfl/2026-nfl-mock-draft-2-rounds-updated-nfl-week-10
Walter football Walt (21. Drew Shelton, OT/G: The Lions suddenly have a very shaky interior line. They need help at guard and center. Drew Shelton is an athletic lineman who has played every position at Penn State. 52. Kamari Ramsey, S: Aaron Glenn is gone, so the Lions need as much secondary talent to make up for the departure. Kamari Ramsey has excellent coverage skills.) (11-5-25): https://walterfootball.com/draft2026_1.php
CBS Wilson (21. DE Quincy Rhodes Jr.: Rhodes Jr. is a rare size-speed athlete who overwhelms tackles with power and length while flashing advanced pass-rush moves for his age. His long-arm bull rush and explosive inside spin consistently collapse the pocket, and his balance and quickness allow him to chase down mobile quarterbacks. Still just 20 years old, his best football is ahead of him.(11-4-25): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/wilson-2026-nfl-mock-draft-prospects-analysis/
FanDuel Swaim (21. T.J. Parker, EDGE, Clemson: What do you give a team that has it all? The Detroit Lions really just need health more than anything on defense. Depth wouldn't hurt, either, and T.J. Parker would be an outstanding compliment to Aidan Hutchinson for a Detroit D that already generates plenty of pressure. Parker is probably the most disappointing preseason Clemson prospect with just 2.0 sacks this year after 11.0 in the Tigers' ACC-winning season a year ago, but Dabo Swinney's bunch has infrastructure issues that are well-known at this stage. The pre-draft process will be vital to sorting out a gaggle of EDGEs behind Bain Jr., and Parker is still in that mix.)
