Detroit Lions 2025 NFL Draft Odds: Who Will The Lions Select At 28?

The Detroit Lions had a regular season to remember in 2024, going 15-2 overall, winning the NFC North, and coming in first place in the NFC. However, it was a shocking end to the year when the Lions were eliminated in the Divisional Round by the Washington Commanders.

Despite losing in the playoffs, the Lions should still be a top team in 2025, and with QB Jared Goff and head coach Dan Campbell leading the group, look for the team to bounce back and take another run at the Super Bowl.

The Lions have the No. 28 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and will get the chance to scoop up a nice prospect. With the draft looming, Bookies.com veteran oddsmaker Adam Thompson has put together hypothetical NFL odds for who the Lions could choose.
