The Detroit Lions are keen on strengthening their defense through the NFL Draft, particularly eyeing Marshall's Mike Green, who led the FBS with 17 sacks last season. Green sees himself as a potential fit alongside Aidan Hutchinson on the Lions' defensive line. Despite facing scrutiny over past accusations, which he vehemently denies, Green has risen through the draft ranks. After a meeting at the NFL Combine with Lions' new defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard, Green expressed enthusiasm about the prospect of playing in Detroit.

Myles Garrett's potential trade from the Cleveland Browns is shaping up to be a hot topic in the NFL. Recently, Garrett and Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson expressed their desire to play together, sparking speculation about a possible move to Detroit. Hutchinson praised Garrett's skill set, noting their friendship and how their combined forces could elevate the Lions' defensive line to new heights.

However, Browns' GM Andrew Berry has made it clear that they have no intention of trading their star pass rusher, even for significant offers. With Garrett's impressive 102.5 career sacks, he remains a key player for Cleveland, making any trade discussions unlikely unless the situation dramatically shifts. The Lions are in a favorable position, with ample cap space and draft picks, but Garrett's current contract and the Browns' reluctance to let him go complicate matters.

The Detroit Lions are looking to enhance their pass rush for the upcoming seasons, especially after Aidan Hutchinson's impressive yet injury-affected year. Hutchinson, who had 7.5 sacks and 45 pressures in just six games, is pivotal to the Lions' defensive success. The team's pass-rushing performance dipped significantly after his injury, and solidifying the EDGE position opposite him is a top priority. Key contenders include Za'Darius Smith and Josh Paschal. Smith, who recorded four sacks in eight games after a mid-season trade, is a potential cost-saving release candidate. Paschal, on the other hand, is entering a critical year of his rookie contract.

The Lions' overall sack numbers fell short, tying for 23rd in the league. The lack of consistent pressure has hampered their defensive capabilities, as evidenced by their struggle against the passing game, where they ranked 31st.

With the NFL Draft on the horizon, the Detroit Lions are strategizing their selections to bolster their roster for a championship run. Holding the 28th overall pick, the Lions aim to address key positions, starting with edge rusher Nic Scourton from Texas A&M. Scourton's combination of size and versatility makes him a prime candidate to pair with standout Aidan Hutchinson. In the second round, they eye Kentucky's Deone Walker, a massive defensive lineman who could help shore up their interior.

The third round may see the Lions draft Tre Harris, a wide receiver from Ole Miss, providing depth to a receiving corps that includes Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. They also plan to enhance their secondary by selecting Mello Dotson, a ball-hawking corner from Kansas, while strengthening the offensive line with Earnest Greene from Georgia and adding linebacker Shaun Dolac from Buffalo to wrap up their draft with solid prospects at every level.
