A lack of depth prevented the Detroit Lions from overcoming an abundance of injuries to conclude their 2024 campaign.

The Lions own the No. 28 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft. With new coordinators on both offense and defense, the Lions must maximize their eight scheduled selections to both capture continuity and improve their back-end depth. We’ve conducted a seven-round mock draft that achieves that.
