Lions' Draft Strategy: Powerhouse O-Line with Proctor

0:00On April 6th, the Detroit Lions are stacking up for the 2026 NFL Draft with 9 total picks, but only 2 LAN in the top 50, including that 17th overall spot, where they've got tons of choices. Word is, the Lions are high on Alabama's massive offensive tackle, Kate & Proctor, a 6-foot 7-350-pound beast who's pegged as a right tackle. This lines up perfect after they released left tackle Taylor Decker and planned to slide their star right tackle, Penne Seule, over to the left side. Seule's no stranger to big moves. He came in as the 7th overall pickback in 2021, and has earned three straight first team all pro. Nods with his quick feet in agility that should make the switch smooth. Bringing in a powerhouse like Proctor on the right could turn their line into a total wrecking crew, powering up that ground game and putting the Lions back on top in the trenches. With Dan Campbell calling the shots, expect them to go all in on bolstering the old line at 17, could be the move that keeps Detroit roaring into.
