Would guess Lions look much later in the draft than where Price will go. Plenty of quality late Day 2/Day 3 guys
Jordan Reid from the espn.com has the Lions going for Price in the 2nd round of his two round mockage.
Reid this mock
Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame
The Saints hit at quarterback with
Tyler Shough last year, so let's get him a backfield mate to grow alongside. I believe that Love is the best player in this draft and could succeed
Alvin Kamara, who will be 31 next season and in the last year of his contract. The Saints had the lowest percentage of 10-plus-yard runs last season (7.8%). Meanwhile, Love had 39 runs of 10 yards or more in 2025, fourth best in the FBS. He also had two 90-plus-yard touchdown runs. Adding him would not only give coach Kellen Moore an explosive runner but a capable pass catcher, too.
Jadarian Price, RB, Notre Dame
After
trading David Montgomery to Houston, the Lions need a bigger back to team up with
Jahmyr Gibbs. Price is a strong runner who complemented Jeremiyah Love at Notre Dame and can do the same with Gibbs.
Malachi Fields, WR, Notre Dame
The Broncos get quarterback Bo Nix some help here with Fields, a big perimeter presence who's capable of winning down the field. He also plays with enough physicality to garner tough targets in intermediate areas.
