The Lions managed to achieve one of the finest regular seasons in team history in 2024, yet significant post-season triumph continues to evade them.

After coming up short early in the divisional round, Detroit has made a few moves in the margins. It now has used the 2025 NFL Draft to address needs to remain atop the extremely competitive NFC North.

Lions NFL Draft needs

• Offensive line: Successful squads stay ahead by enhancing their performance up front, with backup options along the interior offensive line being crucial for a Lions team that thrives by dominating opponents through running plays. They might consider selecting a successor to 32-year-old guard Graham Glasgow as early as the first or second round.
• Pass rush: The series of unfortunate injuries last year highlighted the critical importance of having strong defensive backup options during a playoff campaign. While Aidan Hutchinson’s comeback will be significant, bringing in additional players who can pressure the quarterback will ensure that Detroit’s defense remains at the top tier and help maintain Hutchinson’s stamina throughout the crucial end-of-season stretch.
• Secondary: The team’s defensive depth extends beyond just the pass rush. The secondary is equally crucial and holds the same level of significance as the pass rush, making it another area the Lions are very likely to focus on addressing in this year's draft.
