Mike Payton breaks down why the #DetroitLions may be approaching linebacker very differently than expected in the 2026 #NFLDraft. With Alex Anzalone gone, many assumed Detroit would simply draft a WILL linebacker to replace him. But recent signs suggest the Lions may already have that answer on the roster in Derrick Barnes. Instead, Detroit could be looking to move Barnes into Anzalone’s role and target a new SAM linebacker in the draft. Mike explains how visits with Michigan’s Jaishawn Barham and Michigan State’s Quindarius Dunnigan could reveal what Brad Holmes and the Lions are really planning on defense.
