Breaking down the 2025 Detroit Lions roster, biggest position battles ahead, and assessing the team’s depth at each position.
With the 2025 NFL Draft in the rearview mirror, most of the Detroit Lions ’ roster acquisition is done. There will still likely be a signing or two before training camp, but what you see with the Lions 2025 depth chart is pretty much what you’re going to get this season.
So on this week’s episode of the PODcast, we’re taking inventory of the entire roster. Where are the Lions the strongest? Where are they the most vulnerable? Where are they set up for the future? And where do they still need to ensure they find long-term solutions?
Plus, we dip our toe into the spots on the 53-man roster that are still up for grabs. While the core of this team is stronger and deeper than ever, there are still those roles—like TE3, OL10, WR6, S3—that will be won and lost in training camp. And there are even a few starting positions (see: guard) that will be determined in the upcoming months.
Overall, the exercise is to assess each position, but to also underline that this Lions roster is robust. Yes, it’s not perfect—no roster is. But in terms of the amount of blue-chip players, quality depth, and shrinking amount of needs from 1 to 53, the Lions are in a pretty darn good spot.
