    Daily DLP: Seth Mclaughlin Scouting Report
    Jan 11 2026
    Detroit Lions Podcast: Seth McLaughlin Scouting Report The Signing and the Bet The Detroit Lions added center Seth McLaughlin on a futures reserve contract. It is a calculated bet. He went undrafted because he tore his Achilles in November 2024 while playing for Ohio State. The Cincinnati Bengals signed him after the draft and kept him on the practice squad. Now he is a Detroit Lion with a clean lane to compete at his natural spot. McLaughlin started at Alabama and Ohio State. Three years. Big stages. Pro style offenses. He handled pressure and tempo. That background fits what the NFL asks of a center. The Detroit Lions Podcast dives into why this move makes sense and what it will require. Strengths That Play on Sundays McLaughlin’s calling card is pre-snap recognition. He diagnoses fronts, calls out pressure, and sets protection. He gets linemen on the same page. That shows up snap after snap on his Alabama and Ohio State tape. His technique is crisp. He fires off the ball with square pads and tight hands. His placement sits right in the middle of the shoulder pads. When a bull rush jars him, his feet reset fast. He re-squares his shoulders and hips, stays engaged, and avoids getting too wide. He keeps his balance. He also brings a bit of snarl. In space, he finds work. On stretch runs, he tracks and cuts off the backside linebacker. That second-level timing is real. It translates to NFL run concepts the Lions use. Risks, Role, and Room for Growth The injury is the headline. An Achilles is unpredictable, and he missed his entire rookie season. The other constraint is position. He is a center only. Shorter arms and his build make guard a poor fit. He is more weight-room strong than road grader strong. There are technical blemishes. He had penalties. He had snapping issues, more at Alabama, with a couple at Ohio State. Some were poorly timed. He has worked to fix them. For a center-only player, clean snaps are non-negotiable. That must hold in Detroit. Draft View and Path to Detroit Before the injury, he profiled as a mid-round target. He was viewed as a top-100 caliber player if healthy, with top-75 talk in optimistic moments. He went undrafted because of the Achilles, landed in Cincinnati, and spent most of the year on the practice squad. The Lions now give him a shot to prove the traits survived the rehab. The evaluation track record around him adds context. In the same interior line study that highlighted McLaughlin, Tate Ratledge was pegged as a second-round pick for Detroit, and he wound up being that. The process here is consistent. For the Detroit Lions, this is a smart, low-cost swing at center. If the health cooperates, the NFL-ready mind and technique can pay off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL6CaCphL_0 #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #sethmclaughlin #detroitlionscenter #futuresreservecontract #undraftedfreeagent #cincinnatibengalspracticesquad #achillestearnovember2024 #ohiostatecenter #alabamacenter #pre-snaprecognition #linecallsandadjustments #second-levelblocking #backsidelinebackeronstretchruns #shortarmsatcenter #snappingissuesatalabama #tateratledgesecondroundpick Learn more about your ad choices.

    Daily DLP: 2026 NFL Draft Kickoff! - Detroit Lions Podcast
    Jan 10 2026
    Detroit Lions Podcast: Auburn Edge Faulk, Draft Needs, Playoff Picks Edge Urgency Defines Detroit’s Draft Lens The Daily DLP turns to the NFL draft, and edge help sits on top of the Detroit Lions’ board. Aidan Hutchinson carried a 91% snap load. That is unsustainable. The hosts noted only Hutchinson and Makai Wingo under contract at defensive end on the active roster. That reality frames every conversation. The Lions must add length, power, and fresh legs on the edge to speed up time to pressure and protect late-game leads. Mock Draft Shock: Auburn’s Faulk Lands in Detroit Jeff Risdon’s first Real GM mock draft slotted Auburn edge rusher Faulk to Detroit. Fans bristled. He explained his process. The goal is predicting what a team would do in that situation, not building a personal big board. In this range, edge aligns with Detroit’s needs and profile. Faulk reached the pick in the simulation. He might go higher in reality. With five of the top six teams still without head coaches, the board could tilt in unpredictable ways. Traits, Flaws, and Fit on the Edge Faulk checks Detroit’s trait boxes. Six-five. Two seventy to two seventy-five. Long. Strong. He plays the run and converts speed to power. One host called him a physical clone of Marcus Davenport, but healthy. The knocks are specific. He’s slow off the football. His hand usage comes and goes. The rush plan drifts. The phrase was blunt: consistent at being inconsistent. That said, those issues are coachable within Detroit’s development pipeline. The upside is real, and the fit is clean with what the Detroit Lions want from their edge defenders. The intent is simple. Take heat off Hutchinson. Add a crush-the-can pass rusher who can win early downs and close late in games. Rapid NFL Playoff Reads The conversation closed with quick NFL playoff picks. Seattle looks really good. Houston owns the best defense in football right now. D’Amico Ryans brings a mindset that mirrors Dan Campbell on the other side of the ball. The Texans are vulnerable, yet capable of winning it all if the offense holds up. Philadelphia lingers as a threat despite recent form. The reminder was simple: until you beat the man, you can’t be the man. The Detroit Lions Podcast will keep tracking the bracket while weighing how January outcomes ripple into April decisions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrh371VBt_8 #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #nfldraft #aidanhutchinson #kendrickfaulk #auburnedgerusher #marcusdavenportcomparison #timetopressure #speedtopower #handusage #slowoffthefootball #dailydlp #realgmmockdraft #makaiwingo #houstontexansdefense #seattleseahawks Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Detroit Lions Podcast: Lions Contact Mike Mcdaniel for Oc

    Detroit Lions Podcast: Lions Contact Mike Mcdaniel for Oc
    Jan 9 2026
    Detroit Lions Podcast: Lions Contact Mike McDaniel for OC OC Search Turns to Mike McDaniel The Detroit Lions fired John Morton. The Miami Dolphins fired head coach Mike McDaniel. Credible reports say the Lions contacted McDaniel about the offensive coordinator vacancy. The outreach reads like due diligence. He is a viable candidate with an inventive mind and a track record. The question is fit. Practice Tape and Scheme Mismatch Joint practices this summer left scars. McDaniel hardly engaged with players. Aloof and off putting came up around that field. Detroit just moved on from an OC players did not feel connected to. A repeat would be costly. The Dolphins offense landed bottom 10 in scoring and yards in each of the past two years and trended the wrong way. The usage did not match the roster. Tua was asked to throw short to the speediest wide receiving group in the game. The offensive line was asked to hold longer on routes he was not going to throw. That is a disconnect between talent and scheme. In the red zone the tells were obvious. You could read the call from the formation. That predictability helped stall drives. It mirrors a Detroit sore spot from this season. Detroit Context: Adapt or Fail Detroit at times called plays like Sam Laporta and Frank Rigg now were available. They were not. Results suffered. Miami’s issues looked similar. In those joint sessions the Lions defense beat the living hell out of Miami, especially the first day. Detroit knew what was coming. Think Tecmo Super Bowl when you pick the play and blow it up. Miami did not adjust. Players did not show fight. McDaniel stood and took it. That picture matters when you weigh scheme flexibility and sideline communication inside this NFL building. Alternatives and a Blough Path There is a workable path if Detroit believes in McDaniel’s concepts. Install him as OC and make David Blough the passing game coordinator. Let Blough learn the system for a year or two. Groom him. It is plausible. McDaniel has worked with dynamic offensive weapons. Devon A. Sheen compares to a smaller Jamir Gibbs. Jalen Waddle and Tyreek Hill thrived in space. Translating that speed and spacing to Detroit could hit, if the calls match the personnel and situation. Tua is not the answer for Detroit over Jared Goff. That is clear here. Todd Monken remains out there, technically still employed by the Baltimore Ravens. He is interesting and has had success in a variety of spots. The Lions need adaptability, clarity, and player connection. That should drive the hire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i89gfyp3uvU #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #mikemcdaniel #offensivecoordinatorvacancy #johnmorton #miamidolphins #jointpractices #lionsdefense #redzoneoffense #davidblough #passinggamecoordinator #tua #jaredgoff #samlaporta #frankriggnow #toddmonken Learn more about your ad choices.
