The players the Detroit Lions are targeting in a rumored trade in Round 1 of the NFL Draft have been revealed in a new report.
Heading into this week’s draft, there are an unusual amount of trade rumors flying around this year’s event. Since this year’s quarterback class is weak, there are several teams in the top 10 that are willing to move down to obtain more draft assets for this year and 2027. This provides franchises with a chance to acquire better players than they originally expected in the teens and 20s.
According to ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler, the Lions are “making trade calls” ahead of Round 1 tonight, and he added that “some teams are looking at Detroit as a trade-up threat.” However, it was unclear what the team that failed to make the playoffs in 2025 might be looking for that they couldn’t find when they were at pick 17.
Detroit Lions target offensive lineman in rumored Round 1 trade

Well, fellow NFL insider Jordan Schultz shed some light on the Lions’ targets on Thursday afternoon. “Looks like a lot of teams in their teens and 20s are trying to take small steps to secure the OL before the race begins. The Lions are one of those teams,” he wrote on X.
This year, there is no clear No. 1 offensive lineman in this year’s class. Therefore, some offensive line prospects who are going high in one NFL mock draft are going to be in others later on. Either way, the Lions are probably looking to move into the late top 10 or early teens.
At that range they’ll likely target Georgia’s Monroe Freeling, Utah’s Spencer Fano, Penn State’s Olivavega Ioane or Miami’s Francis Mauigoa.
