Video: Early names to know for the Lions potential first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft

Video breakdown of some early names to know for the Lions potential first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft

One of the byproducts of the Detroit Lions being a Super Bowl contender is that the NFL Draft has quickly become an in-season afterthought for most fans. The potential prospects and draft options aren’t nearly as pertinent when there’s a realistic chance for Detroit to be picking at No. 32 instead of No. 2.

Brad Holmes and his scouting staff aren’t forgetting about the 2025 NFL Draft. They’ve been hard at work evaluating prospects all over the country.

In conjunction with the Detroit Lions Podcast, here’s an early list of players who seem to fit what the Lions are looking for in a prospect who could wind up being the team’s first pick in the upcoming draft. It’s far from a complete list, but these are players that Detroit fans should at least be familiar with as the college football regular season rapidly approaches its end.

By popular demand, we’re holding off on any mock drafts until after the college regular season ends.

We’re looking at an updated three round NFL mock draft for all 32 teams after the first wave of free agency

The Ravens are still in the crux of a potential Super Bowl window. Still, they’ll look drastically different on both sides of the football after undergoing massive changes to player personnel and the coaching staff. Eric DeCosta started the off-season with urgency, signing Justin Madubuike, one of the league’s best defensive linemen, to an extension.

The talented running back could earn $20 million throughout the deal. All wasn’t perfect, as the Ravens suffered significant free-agent losses. Patrick Queen (Steelers), Geno Stone (Bengals), and Gus Edwards (Chargers) were among eight free agents to sign elsewhere. Baltimore also traded Morgan Moses to the Jets and released Tyus Bowser in a cost-cutting move. With the second wave of free agency set to begin, we’re looking at an updated three-round mock draft.
