We're talking about the draft later than usual, but much sooner than anyone expected this year, now that we know where the Lions will pick in Round 1.

To that end, NFL Mock Drafter extraordinaire Mel Kiper, Jr. revealed his initial mock of the 2025 offseason. What do his selections look like as we come out of the Divisional Roun

The Bengals have bigger needs, regardless. The next pick in Kiper’s mock is a guard prospect in Armand Membou. The one after that is a safety, Nick Emmanwori. A few picks later, top tight end Colston Loveland. Later in the round? Pass-rusher Nic Scourton.

The Chicago Bears' biggest need entering the 2025 NFL offseason is more than a position; it's a position group. The Bears' offensive line has several holes, ranging from left tackle to both guard spots and center.

The Detroit Lions ' 2024 season is over, but the 2025 NFL draft buzz is just beginning. The Lions hold the 28th overall pick in the first round, after being the team with the best record of the four losers on divisional round weekend.

The Detroit Lions are in the midst of gearing up for the offseason faster than anyone wanted them to. That means it's time for futures deals. On Monday the Lions signed 11 players to deals and that continues today.
