Twentyman's Mock Draft 2.0: Post-Combine Predictions As we approach the NFL Draft, the anticipation and excitement continue to build for the Detroit Lions. With the combine now in our rearview mirror, our resident expert Brad Twentyman is back with his updated mock draft predictions. In this edition of "Twentyman's Mock Draft 2.0," Brad takes a closer look at the top prospects, making adjustments based on their performance at the combine. He also examines the Lions' needs and potential targets for each round. Round 1: The Lions will likely select either Kayvon Thibodeaux or Will Anderson Jr., both of whom impressed during the combine. Both edge rushers could provide an immediate impact on Detroit's defense, which struggled to get after quarterbacks last season. Round 2: With their second-round pick, the Lions might be tempted to snag a cornerback like Cam Smith or Joey Porter Jr. Both prospects have the potential to become shutdown corners in the NFL, giving the Lions much-needed depth at the position. Round 3: Brad expects the Lions to address their receiver corps by selecting someone like Jaxon Smith-Njigba or Quentin Johnston. Both receivers showcased impressive speed and agility during the combine, making them attractive targets for Detroit's offense. Round 4: The Lions might use this pick to bolster their defensive line by selecting a talented interior player like Mazi Smith or BJ Ojulari. Either of these prospects could become a force in the middle, helping to plug holes and create chaos for opposing offenses. As we continue to count down to draft day, Twentyman's Mock Draft 2.0 provides an insightful look at the top prospects and potential landing spots for the Lions.

Cardinals, Seahawks Select Notre Dame RBs in Round 1 The 2026 NFL draft is just around the corner, and Charles Davis has released his latest mock draft to give fans a glimpse of what might happen on draft night. In his second iteration of the 2026 mock, Davis sees the Arizona Cardinals selecting Notre Dame running back Tyler Buchner with the first overall pick. Buchner, a dual-threat quarterback-turned-running back, impressed scouts and coaches alike during the NFL Combine, showcasing his impressive speed, power, and elusiveness on the field. The 6-foot-2, 215-pounder is expected to be one of the top running backs in this year's class, with many projecting him as a first-round pick. The Seattle Seahawks, picking second overall, followed suit by selecting Notre Dame running back Audric Estimé. Like Buchner, Estimé is an electric playmaker who excelled at the Combine, showcasing his acceleration, agility, and receiving skills. The 5-foot-10, 200-pounder is expected to be a significant contributor for the Seahawks in the years to come. The rest of the first round saw the following picks: Jacksonville Jaguars selecting defensive end Will Anderson Jr. from Alabama; Houston Texans taking wide receiver Quentin Johnston from Tulsa; Chicago Bears choosing quarterback Hendon Hooker from Tennessee; and the Indianapolis Colts selecting linebacker Tommy Echols from Miami.
