After a disappointing finish to their best season ever, the Detroit Lions aimed to add talent to their roster to prevent making the same mistake again in 2025. The biggest obstacle the team had to overcome last season was the numerous injuries, and depth was more important to them than any other team in the league. While the holes on the roster heading into the first round were visible, the team overall didn’t have major needs.
For years, Lions fans looked forward to the NFL Draft to begin their hopeful journey in wanting Detroit to become a relevant team that was competitive in the division and a Super Bowl threat.
