With several 2024 Lions hitting free agency along the defensive line, shifting the draft-day double shot from the offensive line last draft (Giovanni Manu, Christian Mahogany) to the defensive side makes sense. Peebles can play anywhere from the 3-tech to 7-tech in whatever defensive front new coordinator Kelvin Sheppard desires to run.

Here is a Lions two-round mock draft after a week of practices down in Mobile, Alabama at the Senior Bowl. Offensive lineman Josh Conerly Jr. from Ohio State had a standout performance this year against Penn State's Abdul Carter that sent his draft stock soaring into the first round.

With their need along the edge, the Detroit Lions should have interest in Marshall edge rusher Mike Green, who had a sensational season in 2024. Green's stock is rising, especially after this impressive rep during Senior Bowl practice.
