After a season in which the Detroit Lions failed to meet their Super Bowl expectations, fans must have had a tense feeling going into this offseason. Additionally, the team lost two of its best coordinators, DC Aaron Glenn and OC Ben Johnson to head coaching positions.

The Lions front office will have many difficult choices to make this offseason, but they will be particularly responsible for creating a roster that can win when it matters in 2025.

Coach Dan Campbell and the team's decision-makers must now attempt to regain any lost edge through free agency and the 2025 NFL Draft.

In recent years, the Lions have used the draft to add a number of significant players to their roster, including Penei Sewell, Sam LaPorta, Jahmyr Gibbs and numerous other standouts. Detroit plans to keep expanding through the NFL Draft in 2025.
