Lions eye versatile safeties as 2026 draft looms

Detroit’s 2026 draft outlook centers on adding versatile safeties to a deep group (Kerby Joseph, Brian Branch, Thomas Harper, Avonte Maddox, etc.) while monitoring Joseph’s knee recovery and Branch’s Achilles rehab. The top safety class features Caleb Downs as a potential early pick, with Emmanuel McNeil-Warren and Dillon Thieneman also in play. Five safeties who could fit Detroit: Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, Dillon Thieneman, A.J. Haulcy, Zakee Wheatley and Kyle Louis, offering in-the-box presence, range and ball skills to boost the defense in multiple roles.

Commanders 2026 Mock Draft Roundup Signals Defense-First Plan

Mock-draft roundups for Washington’s 2026 class keep defense as the priority: Rueben Bain (edge) and Caleb Downs (safety) are among the top targets at No. 7, with Sonny Styles (LB) also featured in several projections. Free agency already shored up the pass rush with Odafe Oweh, K’Lavon Chaisson, Charles Omenihu, Deatrich Wise, and Drake Jackson, so most mocks push Washington toward edge depth and defensive backs, while Jeremiyah Love (RB) and receivers like Carnell Tate appear as secondary add-ons in various scenarios, including trades up or down. The core message: a defense-heavy early draft, contingent on board and potential moves.

Thursday’s NFL Combine Highlights: Injuries, Chips, and Sprints Dominate Day One

On day one of the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, defensive backs and tight ends spoke to the media while DLs and LBs began workouts. Key takeaways: Jermod McCoy is fully recovered but will skip Indy drills and wait for his pro day; Emmanuel McNeil-Warren carries a big-chip from his small-school background; Avieon Terrell (A.J. Terrell’s brother) aims to top his sibling’s 40; Caleb Downs exudes confidence as a top defender; Mansoor Delane plans to skip workouts and let his 2025 tape speak for him (with a focus on improving ball production). These notes shape how teams may view the incoming draft class.

Buckeyes Could Lead NFL Draft with Four Players in Top Seven, Kiper Predicts

Mel Kiper Jr.’s ESPN mock draft has four Ohio State players projected in the top seven picks—Caleb Downs to the Jets at No. 2, Arvell Reese to the Titans at No. 4, Carnell Tate to the Browns at No. 6, and Sonny Styles to the Commanders at No. 7—an unprecedented four first-round selections from one school. The mock also includes Kayden McDonald at No. 26 to the Bears. If this holds, OSU would rewrite the record for most first-round picks from a single program in a single draft; the Buckeyes’ prospects will be in Indianapolis for the NFL Scouting Combine week.
