Lions Fans Choose Draft Tackle

0:00On April 8th, Lions fans are buzzing about the 2026 NFL draft just over two weeks out, with pick 17 on their minds. Top needs are offensive tackle and edge rusher, and most mocks have Detroit grabbing a tackle early. SB Nation's latest react survey asks straight up if the Lions go offensive tackle in round 1, which one you won? The options line up like this, Spencer Fano from Utah, Monroe Freeling from Georgia, Max Ihanacore from Arizona State, Caleb Lomu from Utah, Blake, Miller from Clemson, and Katie and Proctor from Alabama. No Frances Maui Goa here, since he's projected top 5 and likely gone way before 17. Fans know these guys bring different flavors. Freelings a young athlete with sky high upside at left tackle, though green on experience. Ihanacore flies under radar, but has raw talent teams might love in the right scheme. Lomu's already NFL ready in pass pro, just needs the bulk up for the run game.

1:01Miller stands out with 54 college starts at right tackle, still only 22, and he's climbing boards fast as scouts catch up. Proctor Ihanacore rounded out with solid potential, fitting Detroit's rebuild vibe perfectly. Check the survey results later this week to see where Lions Nation lands. These picks could shape the line for years. Let your NFL news today update, AI powered and always on.
