Overall:
Lions need to develop players for the future. Decker, Zeitler, Skipper are over 30 on the last year of their contract. Glasgow is over 30. Both interior line and tackle makes sense throughout the draft.
Interior Line
Centers
Guards
Guys I like:
1st round
Graham Barton OG Duke 6053 311 33" arms 22 years old
Started at left tackle the last three years (34 games). Arm length moves him in side where he can play center or guard. He started 5 games as a freshman at center. Gives me Frank Ragnow vibes. Not quite the athlete but a tough, strong competitor. I would draft him at #29.
Jackson Powers-Johnson OC Oregon 6032 326 32 5/8" arms 21 years old.
One year starter at center. Very strong and nasty. Gets to the second level. Fits in with Lions.
Troy Fautanu OG Washington 6037 320 34 1/2 arm 24 years old
29 starts at left tackle. Lak of height moves in him inside. Great feet. Really stood out at the combine. Unlikely to make it to #29 but would be a good pick for the Lions.
2nd Round
Zach Frazier OC West Virginia 6024 315 32 1/2 arms 23 years old
38 starts at center. Tough kid who played through injury. Might have trouble at guard.
Christian Haynes OG UCONN 6026 320 33 1/2 arms 24 years old
Nasty player. Would really fit in the Lions mold. A little old for developing player. 49 starts at right guard.
Cooper Beebe OG KSU 6032 322 31 1/2 arms 23 years old
48 college starts including 26 at left guard. His short arms make him a guard only. Tough run blocker with Lion toughness. Not a great athlete might knock him down the board.
Mid Rounds
Chris Mahogany OG Boston College 6033 314 33 12" arms 24 years old
34 starts at guard. Strong player who likes to derive block. Missed 2022 with a torn ACL. Should be a starter early in his career.
Dom Puni OG Kansas 6051 317 33 3/8 arms 24 years old
43 college starts with 13 at left guard. Excellent feet and a powerful punch. Old for a back up prospect who sit for a least a year.
Mason McCormick North Dakota State 6041 309 33 3/4 arms 24 years old
57 starts in college at guard. Great combination of strength and feet. Three time team captain.
Late Rounds
Jarrett Kingston OG USC 6042 308 32 1/8 arms 24 years old
Excellent athlete with 37 college starts. Strong with good feet. A project.
Brady Latham OG Arkansas 6051 305 32 3/4 arms 24 years old
47 starts in college. Excellent quickness. Probably needs to play center.
Tackles
Guys I Like
1st Round
Amarius Mims Georgia 6067 344 36 3/4" arms 22 years old
A project with only 8 starts. 4.33 short shuttle at 340 lbs is astounding. Measurables that coaches dream of. A projection but the Lions have time.
Later Rounds
Brandon Coleman TCU 6036 316 34 7/8 arms 24 years old
Has the skills to be a good NFL Lineman.
Patrick Paul Houston 6074 332 36 1/4 arms 23 years old
44 starts at left tackle. Strong with long arms. A bit limited in his quickness. two time team captain.
