TWIST: Can Kadyn Proctor’s NFL-READY Power CONVINCE Brad & Dan to Pass Over Monroe Freeling?

Detroit Lions face a pivotal draft decision: is Alabama’s Kadyn Proctor the answer at No. 17, or does Georgia’s Monroe Freeling offer a higher long-term ceiling? Mock drafts buzz and expert Dane Brugler shares in-depth scouting insights—highlighting Proctor’s NFL readiness versus Freeling’s intriguing athletic upside. Can Brad Holmes trust a rookie tackle to start immediately, or will a “draft and stash” approach satisfy Detroit’s win-now mindset?

Matt Dery also reacts to Alex Anzalone’s candid comments on his Lions exit and analyzes where Dan Campbell stacks up among the NFL’s elite coaches. The conversation tackles the front office’s approach to roster-building, critiques Holmes’ track record with interior linemen, and sets the stage for a potentially bold trade strategy in the upcoming NFL Draft. Don’t miss this breakdown of Detroit’s roster moves, coaching rankings, and how they shape the Lions’ path toward championship contention. #firstlisten
