The guys wonder if the Lions are in trouble with the latest news surrounding CB Terrion Arnold.
Does the Terrion Arnold news add another position of need to the Lions' offseason plans?
Valenti and Rico hear from a few of the people on Terrion Arnold.
Thursday testing sorts the board for Detroit The edges, defensive tackles, and off ball linebackers hit Lucas Oilfield and brought clarity. Several headliners crushed testing and pushed firmly out of Detroit Lions range at 17. Sonny Styles had a day. He looked like a top-two selection after the work he put in. Arnold Reed will not be there at 17 either. David Bailey's surge put him on wish lists, not draft boards in the teens. Not everyone went. Room Maddox did not work out. Akeem Mesador sat as well. Kendrick Fox did not run the 40, and another Jones skipped a key portion too. The top of this NFL class made itself scarce for Detroit, and that matters. For a Lions roster looking to add juice on the edge and speed in the second level, Thursday underlined how the board may force a different path. Malachi Lawrence puts himself on the Lions radar UCF edge Malachi Lawrence delivered the kind of profile the Detroit Lions covet. He clocked a 1.58 10-yard split, leapt 40 inches in the vertical, and posted a broad jump just shy of 11 feet. That burst showed up in every drill. His get-off was immediate. His hands stayed active. He won with speed first, then mixed in power. The overall athletic score matched the eye test. The Lions have talked to him, including prior to Indianapolis. He is not a pick-17 projection. He looks like a second-round target who could line up across from Aidan Hutchinson and change the cadence of Detroit's four-man rush. He is not the cleanest finisher and the tackling consistency needs tightening, but the traits translate to the NFL. Put his name in ink on the board of realistic upgrades. Day-three value from Iowa: Max Allen's clean work Max Allen from Iowa is a different kind of find. Tall and angular, he moved with surprising smoothness. In the position drills he stayed on schedule. No extra gather steps. No wasted feet. He looked like a power-based edge who can kick inside when asked and win over either shoulder of a tackle. The profile echoes Romeo Oquara. Allen is not an exceptional tester, but he is good enough and well coached. Fourth or fifth round feels right. For the Detroit Lions, that is the sweet spot to fortify the rotation with a versatile, durable piece who brings baseline strength and sound mechanics. TJ Harper reframes a rocky year TJ Harper owned the room at the podium. He entered 2025 as a potential number one overall pick. The season did not deliver the numbers. He explained the context clearly and maintained he played better, which his tape supports. It was direct and measured, the kind of response teams want when the stat line dips. For the Detroit Lions Podcast audience, Thursday in Indy underscored two truths. The elite rose out of reach. The smart value sits right where Detroit can strike. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9m0rF9mCM3o #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #malachilawrence #nflscoutingcombine #2026nfldraft #tjparker #jackkelly #maxllewellyn #terrionarnold Learn more about your ad choices.

Inside a Quiet Combine Day for the Lions Jeff Risdon checked in live from Indianapolis on the Detroit Lions Podcast. Thursday at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine brings the first on-field work across the street. Wednesday was lighter. For the Detroit Lions, it was mostly defensive podium sessions. Useful, but limited. You learn how prospects communicate. You hear how they talk football. You watch poise and clarity. You do not get many hard answers. What Detroit Looks For in Combine Meetings The NFL churns on the question, did you meet with the Lions? It is a weak tell. Teams meet for different reasons. The Detroit Lions use those rooms to learn the person. Competitiveness. Ability to be coached. How a player meshes with coaches. The whiteboard matters, but less than with some clubs that grill pure X's and O's. Others will demand a defensive tackle recite gap fits from a specific snap. Detroit more often probes mindset and fit. Do not overread formal versus informal. Kirby Joseph had only an informal visit at the Combine and left thinking the Lions were not all that interested. He became a Detroit Lion anyway. There is also a player from this regime who was drafted with no Combine meeting at all. On the flip side, a prospect two drafts ago helped himself with a strong interview. The door swings both ways. Timing matters too. Podium appearances happen before many meetings. Prospects stay in town through workouts. A player who says he has not met Detroit yet on Wednesday might sit down with them Thursday night. Keep that context in mind when the meeting lists hit social media. Kelvin Shepherd's HC Interview Was Real One media session cut through the noise. The Dolphins GM discussed their head coach search after moving on from Mike McDaniel. Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Shepherd interviewed for that job. Some dismissed it as a box-check. The GM made it clear Shepherd was a serious candidate. That resonates in Indianapolis. It reflects how league decision-makers view Detroit's staff after back-to-back ascents. It also underscores why interviews at this NFL event are about people as much as plays. There is broader chatter. Miami's situation drew side-eye. Questions linger about Tua. There was even speculation about who will play quarterback for the New York Jets. Kyler Murray's name came up. It is not a great year to need a quarterback. None of that changes Detroit's plan this week. Watch. Learn. Separate signal from noise. The Combine is about stacking small edges. The Lions are sticking to it. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #nflscoutingcombine #indianapolis #podiuminterviews #formalmeeting #informalvisit #whiteboardx'sando's #defensivetackle #abilitytobecoached #kirbyjoseph #dolphinsgm #mikemcdaniel #tua #kylermurray #newyorkjetsquarterback #kelvinshepherdheadcoachinterview Learn more about your ad choices.
