The Detroit Lions selected Texas Tech defensive tackle Skyler Gill-Howard with the 205th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft on Saturday.
Gill-Howard started his career at Northern Illinois before making the move to Texas Tech, playing for a Red Raiders squad that made the College Football Playoff.
Gill-Howard appeared in just six games last season, making 13 tackles, 2½ tackles for loss and half a sack.
"Gill-Howard is an undersized one-gapper using suddenness and leverage to elude the clenches of bigger players," NFL analyst Lance Zierlein said in his breakdown. "He plays with a non-stop motor and palpable sense of urgency, creating wins off the snap against the run and pass. He gives blockers no reps off. His secondary effort and block counters keeps him in the play longer. Gill-Howard lacks functional size and length, which will make him both scheme- and matchup-dependent as a pro. He needs to major in disruption and chaos to find a long-term home as a rotational, upfield tackle.
The Lions addressed their greatest needs during the first two days of the draft, selecting Clemson offensive tackle Blake Miller in the first round and Michigan edge defender Derrick Moore in the second.
On Day 3, the Lions started off by picking Jimmy Rolder, a second straight Wolverine, then picked Arizona State CB and Kentucky WR in the fifth round.
Skyler Gill-Howard was drafted in the sixth round as the 205th overall pick.
In his last season at Texas Tech, Gill-Howard appeared in six games, recording 13 tackles, 2½ tackles for loss, and half a sack.
NFL analysts noted that Gill-Howard is undersized but uses suddenness and leverage to evade larger players, demonstrating a strong motor and urgency on the field.
