The Detroit Lions spent the offseason building up their roster to preempt a repeat of what happened in 2024.
Their presumptive depth chart following the 2025 NFL Draft includes at least a couple of rookies who are in line to see immediate playing time. Others will provide some depth and upside to positions already accounted for by veterans.
Following the Lions’ rookie signings and free agency moves to this point, here’s a look at where the depth chart stands post-draft:
