With the 2026 NFL Draft approaching, the Detroit Lions are evaluating their interior offensive line needs. Last year, they addressed a major need by selecting defensive tackle Tyleik Williams in the first round. For the upcoming draft, the Lions' interior offensive line has a combined need score of 4/10, indicating moderate concerns. The projected starters include Cade Mays (27), who has a low medical concern, and Tate Ratledge (25), who showed signs of a possible neck issue but did not miss games in his rookie season. Other players like Christian Mahogany (25) and Miles Frazier (25) have had injury histories, but overall, the starters appear healthy. The Lions may look to draft a starting-caliber offensive guard in the first three rounds to bolster their line, particularly given the medical concerns of their backups. The team's strategy will hinge on maintaining player health and addressing any lingering issues as they prepare for the season.
