STUNNER: What if the Detroit Lions PASSED on a Tackle at 17 to take a Guard?

Detroit Lions face a pivotal draft decision: will Brad Holmes select a guard at No. 17, even with top tackles like Monroe Freeling and Kadyn Proctor on the board? Matt Dery explores Peter Schrager’s surprising mock draft scenario, spotlighting Penn State’s Vega Ioane—a physically dominant, “Dan Campbell” type player whose potential fit could shake up the Lions’ offensive line and impact Christian Mahogany’s role.

NFL insider Jason La Canfora joins to assess Detroit’s window of contention, question whether the Lions are in decline, and break down key off-season trends. Topics include Ben Johnson’s departure, the importance of adding an elite pass rusher, and the NFC North’s growing competitiveness with the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears. Insightful analysis covers potential offensive line picks, the edge rusher market, and how Detroit can stay in the playoff hunt amid shifting roster dynamics. #firstlisten
