2nd Tier C Fits on B/R Big Board
With Graham Glasgow set to turn 34 years old ahead of next season, which will also be a contract year for him, center will be one of the Lions’ top draft needs this April.

Here, we’ll focus on a scenario where Glasgow returns as the starter in 2026 and note a few developmental centers in Detroit.
