Lions 2025 NFL mock draft round-up: Final projections include multiple rounds, trades

We are just days away from the 2025 NFL draft, where the Detroit Lions will look to add some young talent to an already stellar and increasingly expensive roster.

The Lions hold a total of seven picks in this year's draft, with at least one selection in every round but the fifth. The only round the Lions have multiple picks in is the seventh, where the team holds two.

Detroit is quickly entering the stage that most winning teams do, where extending key players is making things tighter financially. That makes nailing some picks in this year's draft even more important than normal for general manager Brad Holmes.

With the draft starting on Thursday night, we're taking one last tour of mock drafts for the Lions. In this edition, we look at single- and multi-round projections, and some of the mocks we pulled include one trade or more.
