Bish & Brown Live: 2026 NFL Draft Q&a - Detroit Lions Podcast

Detroit Lions Podcast — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 03:14:00 GMT

Draft-Eve Plans and Live Coverage

Draft eve in Detroit. The Detroit Lions Podcast went live with Russell Brown, Scott Bischoff, Chris, and Jeff Risdon. The crew laid out a busy week and took questions. Brown will be on WJR with Anthony Collins and Lomas Brown from 6 to 7 PM on Thursday. It could run longer. If timing allows, he may jump back with Chris, Jeff, and Dion to react in real time. Friday brings WJR again, then a reset of the board. After that, Brown will join Fantasy Pros from picks 35 to 48. He plans to step off to watch the Detroit Lions make their move, then return to the Detroit Lions Podcast to break it down. Day three is lighter. A 7 AM coaches meeting and a baseball game sit on the calendar. He usually misses one game a year. It is almost always day three of the NFL Draft.

No. 2 Overall: David Bailey vs Arvel Reed

The conversation centered on the Jets at pick two. Two names led the talk: David Bailey and Arvel Reed. The hosts are not enamored with Bailey’s full profile. They acknowledged his explosive, linear pass rush. That first step stresses college tackles. It can stress NFL tackles too. But they see a lacking run defender. That is a concern at the top of the board. Reed’s profile is different. He comes from Ohio State and is not a finished product. He tested like a premium athlete. Around 240 to 241 pounds. Speed in the mid 4.4s. He flashes when he rushes, but the room sees him starting as a stacked linebacker. The Micah Parsons talk does not land for them. If he must begin off the ball, they questioned if that is a player you take second overall. Smoke remains thick. Maybe it is Bailey. Maybe the Jets have played months of misdirection. Other names were mentioned as possible wild cards, from Mansoor Ford Delaney to downs. If the card read Caleb Brown, it would make sense to them. One more wrinkle: Bailey’s media hits, including SNY, did not sound like deep pre-draft engagement beyond a dinner. Even so, a final mock tonight would still slide Bailey to the Jets.

What It Means for the Detroit Lions

Detroit’s plan starts with what happens at two. If the Jets choose Bailey, the board tilts one way. If they choose Reed, it tilts another. A stacked linebacker at two reshapes the early run at edge rusher. A true linear edge at two affects the second wave of offensive and defensive options. The hosts plan to reset the board Friday and react fast. Coverage spans radio, national hits, and live podcast windows tied to picks 35 to 48. The aim is simple. Track the Jets’ decision, map the fallout, and target the best path for the Detroit Lions. The NFL turns quickly. The Detroit Lions Podcast will be there as the board breaks.

ALERT: Could Detroit Lions’ Proctor Pursuit be Massive SMOKESCREEN? Brad Holmes’ Strategic Game?

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 20:40:29 GMT

Detroit Lions face crucial draft decisions as rumors swirl about trading up for Alabama tackle Kadyn Proctor. Is this all a smokescreen, or will Brad Holmes pull off a bold move to secure his preferred offensive lineman? Matt Dery breaks down Peter Schrager’s and Daniel Jeremiah’s insistence on Detroit’s Proctor interest, weighing the steep potential cost against a deep tackle class featuring prospects like Monroe Freeling, Blake Miller, and Max Iheanachor.

Brett Whitefield of FantasyPoints.com joins the show to spotlight the Lions’ options at pick 17 and beyond, from possible trade scenarios to sleeper picks at edge and cornerback. The conversation explores the fit of prospects like Sonny Styles, Vega Ioane, and D’Angelo Ponds, as well as under-the-radar day-three targets. Key themes include Detroit’s emphasis on scheme fit, team identity, and the unpredictable approach of GM Brad Holmes. Will the Lions make the big move, or surprise everyone yet again? #firstlisten

Draft Eve Plan: Five Paths, No Trades

The Detroit Lions Podcast hit draft eve with a focused exercise: five no-trade scenarios mapping picks 17, 50, 118 and 128. The NFL Draft is in Pittsburgh tomorrow. The show will live stream the draft with you and Chris. The purpose here is clarity. Keep Detroit at each slot. Explore real options. Invite mix and match from the board.

Scenarios at 17 and 50

Scenario 1 opened with Blake Miller, offensive tackle from Clemson, at 17. Pick 50 followed with an edge option, and later a TCU linebacker, Caleb Elamzor, in the fourth. All matched the Lions’ size and style targets.

Scenario 2 pivoted to Monroe Fraley, Georgia offensive tackle, at 17. Anthony Hill, Texas linebacker, fits the Alex Anzalone role if Detroit seeks a successor. The fourth round stacked traits with Kieran Crawford, Auburn edge, and Sam Rausch, Stanford tight end. Rausch brings some Ebron-like movement but can block. He must catch the ball better.

Scenario 3 went defense first with Kendrick Falk, Auburn edge. Calling him only an edge undersells him. He can play inside in the roles held by John Kaminski, Josh Paschal, Clark Davenport and Onwuzurike. At 50, Reader on Stuard, a defensive back from Arizona, profiles as a safety slash corner in the Branch and Avonte Maddox mold. Offense returned at 118 with Demetrius Brown, Texas A&M offensive tackle, a project that would require Larry Horton to hold right tackle while Sewell moves to the left side, a switch Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes have discussed. Tyler Onyedim, Texas A&M defensive tackle, rounded it out.

Trenches and Fourth-Round Value

Scenario 4 pressed a tackle run with Colon Proctor at 17. Decker Hatten, Penn State edge, landed at 50. Packers beat writers love Danica Sutton at 52, so this track would get over on a rival slot. The fourth-round focus was run defense with Dante Corleone, Cincinnati’s Godfather, as a stout run stopper, plus BJ Payne at safety. A small trade-up into the 90s could be needed for Payne, though the exercise held Detroit in place.

Scenario 5 circled back to tackle with an Arizona State option at 17. It assumed a rookie might be pressed into action early if a veteran is not ready.

How to Use the Board

The exercise locked picks 17, 50, 118 and 128. No trades. The point is to map Detroit Lions options and let fans assemble their own card. Audio listeners were urged to catch visuals on YouTube. The top of this NFL Draft remains murky at two, three and four. There will be moves before Detroit is on the clock. These scenarios keep the Lions steady and prepared.

Live Mock Draft to the Lions at 17 Detroit Lions Podcast

Detroit Lions Podcast — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 01:57:47 GMT

A No-Trade Board Starts With a Shock

The Detroit Lions Podcast fired up a manual, no-trade mock draft and pointed the map toward pick 17. The board went sideways immediately. The Raiders claimed quarterback Fernando Mendoza at No. 1. No trades. No hedging. Just a clean card and a surprise start that scrambled every plan behind it.

Confusion defined the exercise. After the first selection, consensus vanished. Teams blurred. Needs collided with traits. The room acknowledged it had not seen an NFL draft this murky in years. That uncertainty matters to the Detroit Lions. Chaos at the top can send premium talent sliding toward 17. It can also yank scheme fits off the board before Detroit is ready to pick.

Debating Pick No. 2: Traits vs. Production

At No. 2, the debate locked onto edge defenders. David Bailey’s get-off, length, and pass-rush juice drew early support. The counterargument centered on setting the edge. Could Bailey anchor against the run and earn the right to rush in an NFL front that demands discipline on early downs?

Arvel Reed brought a different profile. A true multi-tool defender, he blitzed more than he played traditional edge in college. The versatility intrigues, but there were questions about immediate production if he is not a full-time rusher. Sonny Styles surfaced as a data point. In limited rush chances, Styles stacked sacks at a higher rate, which sharpened the focus on how Reed actually wins.

Scheme fit hung over the table. The conversation circled the priorities coaches place on run force, edge integrity, and pressure. The tie broke with the need for day-one impact. The card at No. 2 read David Bailey.

Cardinals at No. 3 Hold the Top-10 Keys

Arizona stepped into the on-deck circle with options everywhere. Reed made sense. So did a pure rusher like David Saylors. The Cardinals also had a clear offensive path. With Chris Johnson Jr. at left tackle, right tackle help fits cleanly. Maui Noah checked that box. So did names like Ruben Payne and Francis Allen for line help.

The twist came from the owner rumor mill. A running back that early is risky, but the floor can be high. Recent hits at the position were cited. The room understood the appeal while disagreeing with the value. No matter the direction, the third pick felt like a fulcrum. Move it, and the entire top 10 tilts. Keep it, and the board settles for a beat before the next surprise.

For the Detroit Lions, that turbulence is the story. A quarterback at one, Bailey at two, and a wide-open Arizona decision compress talent pockets and confuse runs at specific positions. The path to 17 will be carved by how teams prioritize edge force, right tackle certainty, and whether ownership leans into a splash at running back.
