Derek Newton, our 220th ranked tackle, is best suited to be a depth backup. We project he will end up with the Detroit Lions because they could use a player of this quality to play tackle. The Lions currently have only 1 healthy tackles, and none are rated better than Newton.
The Lions currently have no tackles under contract beyond the 2027 season, so Newton may only be getting a short term deal, considering his age, with the team.
