At long last, the Detroit Lions will make their first-round selection in the 2026 NFL Draft. The Lions currently own nine picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, including the No. 17 overall selection in Thursday night's first round.

Will the Lions go offensive tackle as expected? Or, does Detroit add an explosive pass rusher opposite Aidan Hutchinson?

Could it be a different direction entirely? We'll know by night's end.

As the first round rapidly approaches, here's a look at a final NFL mock draft roundup for the Detroit Lions' No. 17 overall selection:
