Joel Klatt, FOX Sports: James Pearce Jr., Edge, Tennessee
Why: I don't think the Lions need a ton, making this a luxury selection, but the window to win titles in the NFL is small and the blueprint is specific. You need to be able to get to the QB. Pearce would help Hutchinson in a big way.

Dave Helman, FOX Sports: Landon Jackson, Edge, Arkansas
Why: The Lions' pass rush looks solid on paper, but it comes with a lot of injury concern. I'd like to bump the depth there, not to mention add a player with some insane athleticism. Jackson's got the size and frame to contribute right now and could grow into a fun pass rush partner for Hutchinson.

Ryan Wilson, CBS Sports: Grey Zabel, OL, North Dakota State
Why: No one helped themselves more at the Senior Bowl than Zabel, who played primarily left tackle in 2024 for NDSU, but had experience at guard and center, too.

Michael Renner, CBS Sports: Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
Why: Walter Nolen is a butt-kicker in the run game at the three-tech position. That's the missing link on what is a terrifying Lions defensive line when healthy.

Kyle Stackpole, CBS Sports: Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan
Why: It was a major bummer that a hamstring strain kept Kenneth Grant from working out at the NFL combine, but he's still a massive, super athletic interior defensive lineman with a ton of room to grow.
