DLP 2026 NFL Draft Party - Rounds 2 & 3 - Detroit Lions Podcast

Day 2 Begins With Detroit Looking for Value and Movement The first round of the 2026 NFL Draft is in the books, and the Detroit Lions opened their weekend by selecting Clemson offensive tackle Blake Miller at pick 17. It was a move that made sense for both the present and the future. Protecting Jared Goff, reinforcing the offensive line, and preparing for long-term stability in the trenches remains central to how this franchise is built. Now the focus shifts to Day 2, where the real unpredictability begins. The Lions enter Friday night holding pick 50 in the second round and, as of now, no third-round selection. That almost guarantees intrigue. Brad Holmes has never been shy about moving around the board, and Detroit feels like one of the best bets in the league to trade into additional Day 2 capital before the night is over. Our live draft show will cover every move as it happens, with full reaction to the second and third rounds, trade possibilities, and the players who could change the shape of this roster heading into training camp. Round one gets the headlines, but Day 2 often delivers the backbone of a draft class. What the Lions Could Target Tonight With Blake Miller now in the building, Detroit has flexibility. Offensive line was a priority, but it was far from the only one. Defensive line help remains a major talking point, and cornerback depth continues to be an area the front office cannot ignore. At pick 50, the Lions could find real value at edge rusher, interior defensive line, or in the secondary. There is also the possibility of a wide receiver or tight end if a player with real upside falls unexpectedly. Holmes has consistently shown a willingness to trust his board over public consensus, and that makes tonight even more compelling. The biggest question is whether Detroit stays patient or gets aggressive. Without a third-round pick, the pressure to move around is real. Trading up for a targeted player or finding a way back into Round 3 would not surprise anyone who has followed this front office. The Lions are in a win-now window, and Day 2 offers a chance to add immediate contributors rather than long-term projects.
