For the NFL, it's March 18th. Here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. The Detroit Lions still need a strong edge rusher to pair with Aiden Hutchinson after a busy free agency period. Team watchers think grabbing an offensive tackle in the first round makes sense, leaving the second round perfect for an edge prospect. One name standing out is Gabe Jacobs from Illinois, projected to go in the second or third round. 22 years old, heading into the 2026 season, he brings serious production from college. Over four years, Jocca's racked up 35.5 tackles for loss and 27 sacks. He played in nearly every game each season, missing just one regular game in 2025 and opting out of a bowl game. His only notable injury was a right hand issue with nerve damage at age 7, but it never slowed him down in college with no other problems. Report in, if Jacca's last to the second round, he looks like a smart, low-risk choice for the Lions at a key position.
