There are usually a fresh batch of mock drafts released post-Combine after the measurements, medical evaluations, on-field drills and team interviews are all in the books coming out of Indianapolis.
What do the latest mock drafts have the Lions doing with the No. 17 overall pick in next month's NFL Draft? The consensus so far is Detroit bolstering the line of scrimmage on either side of the football with an offensive tackle or an edge rusher.
Here's a look at who the latest set of mock drafts have the Lions selecting at No. 17:
Daniel Jeremiah, NFL.com: T.J. Parker, EDGE, Clemson
Why: Parker had an underwhelming 2025 season, but he bounced back in a big way at the Senior Bowl. I think he's climbing draft boards once again.
Charles Davis, NFL.com: Akheem Mesidor, EDGE, Miami
Why: I keep eyeing Alabama OT Kadyn Proctor here, as he feels like a Detroit Lion to me. Mesidor fills another pressing need, though, helping Pro Bowl edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson in a big way.
Lance Zierlein, NFL.com: Kadyn Proctor, T, Alabama
Why: Proctor could step in and compete for a starting job at guard right away before bouncing back outside to tackle whenever Taylor Decker hangs 'em up.

Jordan Reid, ESPN: Akheem Mesidor, EDGE, Miami (No. 17)
Why: He's a heavy-handed rusher with nonstop effort who wears down blockers. He finished last season with 12.5 sacks and 17.5 tackles for loss for the Hurricanes and would be an ideal edge pairing with Hutchinson.
Jadarian Price, RB, Notre Dame (No. 50)
Why: After trading David Montgomery to Houston, the Lions need a bigger back to team up with Jahmyr Gibbs. Price is a strong runner who complemented Jeremiyah Love at Notre Dame and can do the same with Gibbs.
Mel Kiper Jr., ESPN: Zion Young, EDGE, Missouri
Why: Detroit has to address the lack of depth on the edge. Young has strong hands and good quickness, and he had 6.5 sacks and 46 pressures last season.
Dane Brugler, The Athletic: Kadyn Proctor, T, Alabama
Why: Proctor has the talent to give Detroit immediate depth at both tackle and guard, especially after the release of Graham Glasgow. He'd be a long-term building block.
Nate Davis, USA Today: Monroe Freeling, T, Georgia
Why: Freeling, who's 21, may be the best pure left tackle prospect in this draft, and his potential was evident in Sunday's drills.
Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz, USA Today: Akheem Mesidor, EDGE, Miami
Why: Between his hard-charging style and advanced arsenal of moves, the 6-3, 265-pounder would fit well along a Lions line looking for a long-term running mate for Hutchinson.
Trevor Sikkema, Pro Football Focus: Cashius Howell, EDGE, Texas A&M
Why: Howell was one of the top pass rushers in college football over the past three seasons, bringing a tenacious and relentless rush style, and would pair nicely with Hutchinson.
Tom Fornelli, CBS Sports: Kadyn Proctor, T, Alabama
Why: It may make more sense to go defense here as it's a more pressing need, but Proctor is an enticing prospect who could begin his career at guard while being groomed as Decker's long-term replacement.
Ryan Wilson, CBS Sports: T.J. Parker, EDGE, Clemson
Why: I think Parker is a much better player than the media have portrayed during the pre-draft process. Some of that has to do with Parker -- and the entire Clemson team -- not living up to lofty expectations in 2025. Still, he finished with a flourish and reminded everyone at the Senior Bowl that he can take over games when he's locked in.

Mike Renner, CBS Sports: Caleb Lomu, T, Utah
Why: Lomu is a crafty, smooth pass protector. His biggest knock is play strength, but that's a trait that can be improved at the next level.
Josh Edwards, CBS Sports: Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson
Why: Terrion Arnold has struggled to stay healthy, and Ennis Rakestraw Jr. has been a non-factor since the team double-dipped in the draft. Rock Ya-Sin and others in depth roles are slated to hit free agency. Terrell provides immediate support.
Luke Easterling, Athlon Sports: Monroe Freeling, T, Georgia
Why: Finding a successor for Decker at left tackle has to be a top priority for the Lions, and Freeling has the athleticism and toughness to be the ideal fit.
FOX Sports staff: Francis Mauigoa, T, Miami
Why: [The Lions] plan for the future with a tackle that many have as the best offensive lineman in this class.
Brent Sobleski, Bleacher Report: Keldric Faulk, EDGE, Auburn
Why: Auburn's Faulk is a 21-year-old ball of clay. He'll need plenty of work to realize his immense potential, which seems oxymoronic when slotting the defensive lineman to an organization in the Detroit Lions that finds itself in win-now mode. However, the 6'6", 276-pounder has the physical profile and right attitude to slide relatively seamlessly into the Lions' lineup, even if it's not as a full-time player at the onset of his career.
Yahoo Sports: Caleb Lomu, T, Utah
Why: While Giovanni Manu is still interesting to me, Lomu gives the Lions their Decker succession plan (and insurance for the 2026 season). Lomu has to continue to get stronger, but he has light feet, clean hand usage and the overall athleticism to stay on the left side and be a plus-blindside protector.
Vinnie Iyer, Sporting News: Cashius Howell, EDGE, Texas A&M
Why: The Lions need to have a physical thumper to better complement Hutchinson at end in their 4-3. Howell, like Rueben Bain Jr., got knocked a little for arm length at the Combine, but he is too devastating of a producer from another top college defense to think he won't translate well as a No. 2.
