Jeff Iafrate’s FINAL Detroit Lions 2025 NFL Mock Draft 8.0!

41 comments

1. I would LOVE this draft BUT… according to PFF only picks 60,102 and 130 would be there. The others are all gone. While you missed Zabel by just 3 spots, the final 3 were WAY off. Mondon is ranked 155 and you somehow think he will be there at 244? Hancock is 151… and the worst one is thinking Robinson will be there at 228 when PFF has him at 120!

2. Man, I kept thinking about BPA from Brad's perspective and all the 30 visits and I did a wild card move. 1st round the Lions select Jalen Milroe, when I did that all the 30 visits fell perfectly in a line into the later rounds. It sounds insane but I can't shake the thought now after seeing how everything else lines up and Brad is a BPA guy first.

3. Great draft Jeff- all needs and best player available.

4. Sickos 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love it

5. Imagine us getting a edge rusher from North Dakota State

6. I want that Walker kid from central Arkansas 💯

7. Zable 4 sure

8. Josiah Stewart is fucking ASS, I would rather J.T Tui from Ohio State he gives us way more

9. I like Donovan Jackson over Grey Zabel myself. I think Zabel's best position is C and i dont think Rags retires soon. I absolutely love the double dip getting both J Stewart AND Sai'vion. Id take Sanker at 130 if available as Pat Bryant should fall further. Hancock at 196 is good value. I Just prefer Sanker. Love the 7th rounders too. Your best draft by a mile. Great job.

10. #28- Mykel Williams DE, #60- Jayden Higgins WR, #102– Jack Sawyer DE, #130– Malachi Moore S, #196– Jackson Slater G, #228– Ty Robinson DL

11. Everyone taking a guard in the first is a joke

12. Thats a Great Draft 👍

13. Overall pretty good draft, we could certainly do better than Josiah Stewart though.

14. Great picks if they fall Jeff. Grade B++

15. Really like the Sai’vion Jones pick!

16. Works great for me

17. What's the deal with Pearce, he looks great. Size- speed- production…. What's wrong with his character? I haven't seen any definitive answers on his character except for some speedy traffic problems. Nice draft Jeff.

18. Kenneth grant mocked to ravens at 27

19. Great mock! I got
    Jayden Higgins wr
    Mason Taylor te
    Ashton Gillotte Ed
    Hollin Pierce ol
    Cam Jackson dt
    Craig Woodson safety
    Justin walley cb

20. Great draft love it

21. Darius Alexander. Big time athlete, correct age, versatile, and strong as an ox. This is your guy, and you can likely get him at 28.

22. I have Holmes moving up to get Zabel… the son of the Lions O-line coach Hank Fraley played with Grey Zabel.

23. Nice draft Jeff! I hope we get some of those players

24. Every year the media seems to forget how Brad drafts players , not by need, but by the player .😊

25. What kept the Lions from a deep run in last years Playoffs were injuries on Defense. I like Zabel but they need an impact player on Defense.

26. Do you promise this is your last mock draft!?🤞🏾

27. DONT forget (I think) Hank Fraley kid plays with zabel at NDST

28. Lions new Defensive Coordinator played for L.S.U so he has an inside track to their program . Wouldn't be surprised by that pick .

29. I think there is no way the Lions do not walk out of this draft without getting an Guard, and a Safety. Lions love rolling 3 safeties out there and right now we don't have the guys to do that.

30. Love Josiah Stewart! He's small for an edge, but he has burst and speed off the edge and he can play SAM in coverage or against the run.

31. love the mock, ty wont be there at 228, would def tho

32. Central Michigan had #1 pick years ago!!

33. Outside of Hancock and Mondon. I had the same mock a couple weeks ago. Great draft Jeff.

34. Really good draft without trades which BH is going to do. He'll either trade up or down. If he trades up, I'd like him to get Mykel Williams if he's still at around 20. Josiah Stewart is a dawg I would love if the Lions drafted him because he's versatile.

35. I wouldn't complain if the Lions got these players. It's just a matter of them falling to the Lions and if/when Brad Holmes does trades.

36. Offere

37. Offense isn’t the problem. You can get an o-line stud in the second round. Arguably . Lions need help at DT and DE. I think first two picks will include a DT and a DE

38. Lions will trade up and get elite DE. YOU BUILD THROUGH THE TRENCES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL. JOSIAH STEWART WILL BE THE SECOND COMING OF JAMES HOUSTON

39. Have to disagree on Pat Bryant. He does not block well in my opinion.

40. 60 is way to high for josaiah stewart. More like 4th or 5th round area

41. My nipples can only get so hard! Would love for this to be our 2025 draft class
