During the initial aftermath following the Detroit Lions trading running back David Montgomery to the Houston Texans, there was a bit of confusion surrounding the compensation. National reporters raced to get the news out first, only to have to edit their tweets after the fact. Eventually, they were able to get it right.
The Lions are trading Montgomery in return for the Texans’ 2026 fourth-round pick, a 2027 seventh-round pick, as well as offensive lineman Juice Scruggs. And while I would imagine many Lions fans were sad to see Montgomery leave Detroit, that is a pretty decent haul for a running back that will be 29 by the time the 2026 NFL season is underway.
Joining me to set the table ahead of the start of NFL free agency next week is the host of the PODcast, Meko Scott. We discuss where the Lions’ nine draft picks are at the moment, as well as what kind of compensatory pick they are in line for after cornerback Carlton Davis signed with the New England Patriots last offseason. We also discuss the possibility of Lions general manager Brad Holmes doing what he did back in 2023, where he went a different direction than the general public thought he would.
You can watch the entire video right. Do you think Holmes will consider moving up or down in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft? Let us know in the comments what you think.
