Detroit Lions 2025 Mock Draft Roundup: Focus Remains on the Trenches
With free agency slowing down, mock drafts are providing a clearer picture of what teams might do in the 2025 NFL Draft. For the Detroit Lions, projections remain scattered, with analysts linking 17 different prospects to Detroit across 43 mock drafts. However, a clear trend has emerged—most experts believe the Lions will prioritize the trenches.
On the offensive line, names like Texas’ Kelvin Banks, Alabama’s Tyler Booker, and Ohio State’s Donovan Jackson have been popular picks, as Detroit looks to reinforce its dominant front. On the defensive side, interior disruptors like Walter Nolen (Mississippi) and Derrick Harmon (Oregon) have been linked to the Lions, while edge rushers Mykel Williams (Georgia) and Mike Green (Marshall) could provide an explosive presence opposite Aidan Hutchinson.
Skill position players like Missouri WR Luther Burden III and Ohio State WR Emeka Egbuka have also been mentioned, but with Detroit’s strong roster, GM Brad Holmes is likely to stick to his best-player-available philosophy. With so many options, expect plenty of intrigue as the draft approaches.
