2025 Detroit Lions Draft Picks & Results

2026 NFL DRAFT

RD	PICK		PLAYER	TRADE FROM
1	17	Lions	Blake Miller Miller isn’t as agile or powerful as some of the top-rated tackles higher on my board, but as a rare four-year starter who faced elite competition every day in practice, he’s as safe as a Subaru. Miller has a somewhat gangly frame and upright stance that isn’t always the most aesthetically pleasing, but he’s quick, smart and has excellent hands to steer and sustain. Clemson, T · POS RK 5	-
2	44	Lions	Derrick Moore In a class full of Swiss Army knife rushers, the 6-foot-4, 255-pound Moore is the hammer, utilizing a pro-caliber bull rush to bully would-be blockers on his way to the quarterback, generating 10 sacks in 12 games for Michigan in 2025. Michigan, DE · POS RK 10	DAL, NYJ
4	118	Lions	Jimmy Rolder Showing Jedi-like instincts and picture-perfect tackling technique, Rolder jumped from 26 tackles as a reserve in 2024 to leading the team in stops in 2025. Run-stuffers like Rolder aren’t as valued in today’s pass-happy NFL, so it’s possible he slips into Day 3, but I see a future starter who will ultimately outplay his draft slot. Michigan, LB · POS RK 10	-
5	157	Lions	Keith Abney II Everything about the 5-foot-10, 187-pound Abney looks average except his tape — he’s among the most tenacious and competitive players in this class. Arizona State, CB · POS RK 9	-
5	168	Lions	Kendrick LawKentucky, WR	BUF
6	205	Lions	Skyler Gill-HowardTexas Tech, DT · POS RK 27	JAX
7	222	Lions	Tyre WestTennessee, DT	CLE
