With just three total games remaining in the 2024 season, many teams have turned their focus to the offseason. This includes the Detroit Lions, which were eliminated by the Washington Commanders in the NFC Divisional Round. The Lions currently hold the 28th pick in the NFL Draft. While the premier talent may be off the board by the time they pick, there are plenty of options that could suit Detroit's needs. Here's my first prediction for how the first round plays out in the 2025 NFL Draft. Picks No. 29-32 are not finalized, as they will be determined by the results of the conference championship games and the Super Bowl.
