The Detroit Lions addressed two of their greatest needs during the first two days of the 2026 NFL Draft, selecting Clemson offensive tackle Blake Miller in the first round and Michigan edge defender Derrick Moore in the second.

“We’re all about building from the inside, out,” general manager Brad Holmes said Friday, April 24. “When you get the guys you love and they happen to play the trenches as well, that’s just a little bit of added bonus. We’ll definitely sleep good at night.”

When Holmes and the rest of the Lions’ executives wake up Saturday, they’ll have the opportunity to strengthen other sectors with their six remaining picks. Positions where they could seek reinforcements include safety, defensive tackle, tight end, running back and linebacker.

Here are 10 names to watch on Day 3:

Gracen Halton, Oklahoma DT

CARLOS MONARREZ: Derrick Moore has important role to play with Detroit Lions

Halton was never a full-time starter at Oklahoma. But when he was on the field, he was a disruptive force. Last season, he produced 3½ sacks and 30 pressures – the second-highest total on the Sooners. He was also a reliable run stopper. He could conceivably fill the void left by Roy Lopez, a rotational interior lineman who rejoined the Arizona Cardinals in March.

• The Milwaukee Wave defeated the San Diego Sockers 7-2 to force a decisive championship game.
• Milwaukee scored seven unanswered goals, with Alex Sanchez scoring the game-winner in the third quarter.
• The Sockers played without three players who were suspended for disciplinary reasons and another who was kicked out of the league.

After rallying to win its first two series in the MASL playoffs following losses in Game 1, the Milwaukee Wave will have an opportunity to do it one more time.

This time the championship is on the line.

The Wave scored seven unanswered goals – albeit three of them into an untended net in the final 78 seconds – in beating the short-handed San Diego Sockers 7-2 on April 24 at Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California.

Midfielder Alex Sanchez scored what proved to be the winning goal midway through the third quarter when he booted the ball over the Sockers wall on a restart from the top of arc.

Game 2 box sore: Wave 7, Sockers 2

“I think just a change in attitude and mentality,” Wave goalkeeper Jerry Perez said in a television interview regarding the difference in Game 2 compared to the 5-4 loss in the series opener. “Them coming to our home and just taking over at our place, we wanted to do the same coming to theirs.

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – A Minneapolis city audit is raising new questions about how police responded when Davis Moturi was shot in the neck by his neighbor in 2024.

Audit findings raise concerns about police response

What we know:

The audit found Minneapolis police officers appeared to misunderstand whether they could legally enter the home of Moturi’s neighbor, John Sawchak, after the shooting. Some officers argued “the risk to officer safety was too great” to justify going inside for what they believed was a misdemeanor offense.

It took police five days to arrest Sawchak, who was later deemed mentally ill in court. The audit also noted that many of its recommendations are already being addressed by the department, and it specifically recognized the police for their situational awareness, empathy and professionalism with victims.

Moturi, who was shot in the neck, told FOX 9, “If they’re too scared to do anything, how does how do they think I feel? How do they think I’m supposed to exist? Or what about the rest of the community, if they can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen. That’s why we hired you to risk your life, to go in and put yourself in front of the citizens. What happened to serve and protect?”

The audit also pointed out that Police Chief Brian O’Hara initially appeared to blame Moturi in part for the shooting, using language the auditor described as harmful.

Moturi said, “I’m glad they highlighted the chief victim-blaming, and I know he claimed he received the wrong information. That begs the question, OK, well, where’s the information coming from?”

Chief O’Hara’s response and department changes

What they’re saying:

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara addressed the audit’s findings, saying, “Escalating neighbor disputes can leave people feeling trapped in their own homes, living with ongoing fear and uncertainty. No matter the circumstance, those who reach out for help deserve the very best from the City of Minneapolis and our police department.”

O’Hara later said in October 2024 that police failed Moturi and has since apologized publicly.

However, Moturi told FOX 9 he has not received a direct apology from the chief.

The audit has led to ongoing changes within the Minneapolis Police Department, with leadership expressing support for its recommendations and after-action review.

The audit’s findings have sparked a broader conversation about police protocols and how officers respond to dangerous situations in the community.
