The Detroit Lions enter Day 3 of the NFL Draft without a pick until the sixth round, holding the 182nd overall selection. After trading for offensive guard Tate Ratledge from Georgia and wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa from Arkansas, the Lions will look to address some of their pressing needs with a cluster of five picks spanning the sixth and seventh rounds. Notable prospects to consider include defensive lineman Elijah Roberts, edge rushers Jah Joyner and Tyler Baron, and versatile offensive linemen like Seth McLaughlin and Addison West.

The Lions' recent trades indicate a focus on strengthening their roster, particularly in the defensive and offensive trenches. With both immediate needs and future depth in mind, general manager Brad Holmes will have a pivotal role in steering the draft strategy to optimize these late-round selections.
