Breaking down Detroit Lions’ 2026 draft picks after David Montgomery trade

During the initial aftermath following the Detroit Lions trading running back David Montgomery to the Houston Texans, there was a bit of confusion surrounding the compensation. National reporters raced to get the news out first, only to have to edit their tweets after the fact. Eventually, they were able to get it right.

Joining me to set the table ahead of the start of NFL free agency next week is the host of the PODcast, Meko Scott. We discuss where the Lions’ nine draft picks are at the moment, as well as what kind of compensatory pick they are in line for after cornerback Carlton Davis signed with the New England Patriots last offseason. We also discuss the possibility of Lions general manager Brad Holmes doing what he did back in 2023, where he went a different direction than the general public thought he would.
