The Detroit Lions are gearing up for a packed day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft, holding 6 solid picks to build out their roster.

Keeping it up with Round 6, Pick 24 at 25, Round 6 Pick 32 at 213 and Round 7, Pick 6 at 222 overall. Only two selections in so far, so these day 3 choices could make or break their draft haul.
