The draft of the NFL 2025 is on the horizon, and the Lions of Detroit have the possibility of finding an immediate impact player with the overall choice n ° 28 on the turn 1.
Detroit has one of the deepest lists of football, but the team still has some needs that could be met by draft, mainly Edge Rusher and Line offensive interior. Apart from Aidan Hutchinson, the Lions do not have a starting caliber passer on the list and released Za’darius Smith earlier in the offseason.
The Lions also have a need for guard because they lost the Kevin Zeitler right guard at the Tennessee Titans in a free agency.
Although Detroit can seek to select a rusher on board or an offensive line player with their first round choice, we should not exclude the possibility that the director general Brad Holmes grips another dynamic gateway for the quarter-rear Jared Goff of choice 28.
According to Ian Rapoport from NFL NetworkThe Lions welcomed the Texas Matthew Golden receiver for a visit during the weekend. Golden is a planned first -round choice which has a speed breaking speed and displayed 987 yards and nine affected for Longhorns in 2024.
If Golden or another fascinating broad receiver is available at n ° 28 in total, it would not be shocking if Detroit passes to meet his needs to Edge Rusher or Guard and takes a playmaker. During the screening combination in February, Holmes declared that the Lions were not going to write players only according to needs, Reiterating the importance of selecting the best available player.
“We are not an editorial team based on needs. Holmes said.” We just get the best football player for us. We are not really too fixed on the positions. “”
Holmes has history to put potential needs aside and take the best available prospect, especially in 2023 when he selected the Ballon holder Jahmyr Gibbs with the overall choice n ° 12.
Although most believe that the lions are ready to address the trenches in the first round of the draft, do not be surprised if the team decides to use the premium selection on a wide receiver to associate with Amon-Ra St.brown and Jameson Williams.
