Detroit Lions prepare for 2025 NFL Draft with key picks in focus

The Detroit Lions, with a strong 15-2 record, will watch the playoffs from home. They are preparing for the 2025 NFL Draft, where they hold the 31st, 63rd, and 129th picks. In the first round, the Lions may select edge rusher Shemar Stewart from Texas A&M to strengthen their defense alongside Aidan Hutchinson. In the second round, they could pick offensive guard Tate Ratledge from Georgia to bolster their offensive line. For the fourth round, the Lions might choose defensive back Malachi Moore from Alabama, who has significant SEC experience. This selection would continue their trend of drafting Alabama defensive backs in recent years.
