Detroit Lions Prepare for Key Decisions at 2025 NFL Combine
The Detroit Lions are gearing up for a pivotal offseason following their early postseason exit. As the team heads to the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, attention turns to maximizing their window of contention. General manager Brad Holmes, who has successfully navigated past drafts, holds eight picks in this year’s draft, with the first at No. 28 in the first round.
Holmes will speak on Tuesday, alongside head coach Dan Campbell, as they scout talent at the combine. The key focus for the Lions is strengthening their defense, especially with edge rushers. Early mock drafts have the Lions addressing this need, but they also have other positions to consider, such as cornerback, interior defensive line, and offensive line.
Notable decisions will be made about Tim Patrick’s contract situation at wide receiver and potentially adding depth at linebacker. The Lions are also eyeing the interior offensive line, with concerns over the future of key players like Kevin Zeitler and Graham Glasgow. As the Lions’ roster deepens, targeting specific needs at the combine could make the difference in their push for a Super Bowl.
