2025 NFL Combine Preview: Lions’ Draft Strategy and Prospects

The 2025 NFL Combine is underway, marking a significant milestone in our NFL Draft coverage. Last week, we published a positional preview of key positions expected to be addressed in the draft. On Sunday night, we released our comprehensive review of the event.

To kick off the discussion, we examined the Lions’ long-term needs and identified which positions are likely to be prioritized early in the draft. We also debated whether top-20 prospects should be on the radar for the team. Given GM Brad Holmes’s track record of making moves in the first round, there’s speculation that he might make a surprise pick in Round 1.

The media sessions during the Combine offer valuable insights into the team’s coaching staff and front office. We’ll be listening for specific comments from Dan Campbell, Brad Holmes, and coordinators regarding their draft strategy and expectations. Conversely, certain topics may be off-limits for discussion.

Our final segment introduced some of our favorite 2025 NFL Draft prospects and shared our predictions for how they’ll perform during Combine week. Will these players make a strong impression with their on-field skills? Can they demonstrate the character traits that matter most to the Lions?

The full preview is available now, offering a detailed analysis of the Lions’ draft approach and key prospects.
