The Detroit Lions have had an eventful first two days of the NFL draft, and they'll have a flurry of picks to finish off their draft April 26.
After selecting Tyleik Williams in the first round of the draft on April 24, the Lions took Georgia's Tate Ratledge and Arkansas' Isaac TeSlaa in the second and third rounds, respectively, on April 25. The Lions are scheduled to make five selections April 26, holding picks in the six and seventh rounds.
While the key prospects have already been drafted, Lions GM Brad Holmes hopes to round out his Super Bowl-caliber roster with his selections April 26.
The final day of the 2025 draft kicks off April 26 at noon, with rounds 4-7 taking place. The final rounds will be broadcasted on NFL Network and ESPN.
Here is the important info about the Lions draft schedule today:
Round 6: 6th pick (182nd overall)
Round 6: 20th pick (196th overall)
Round 7: 12th pick (228th overall)
Round 7: 14th pick (230th overall)
Round 7: 28th pick (244th overall)
The Lions, who had the 28th overall selection in the draft, own their original seventh-round pick.
Detroit traded its fifth-round pick to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for pass rusher Za'Darius Smith just before the 2024 trade deadline on Nov. 5. The Lions released Smith on March 10, though a reunion is still possible.
The Lions traded their 2025 sixth-round pick at the 2023 trade deadline to Cleveland for wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones, a former Michigan wideout. However, they received a sixth-round pick from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a trade for cornerback Carlton Davis in March 2024.
Detroit's second-to-last pick is courtesy of the Dallas Cowboys, who sent a seventh-round pick to the Lions as part of a trade-up that landed the Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold. The Lions' final pick is their own seventh rounder.
On April 25, the Lions made these two moves:
Round 2: The Lions traded up three spots from No. 60 to No. 57 to take Georgia guard Tate Ratledge. The Lions gave the Denver Broncos Pick No. 60 and a fourth-round choice (No. 130) in the deal, and also acquired a seventh-round pick (No. 230) in the deal.
Round 3: The Lions traded up 32 spots from No. 102 (the last pick in the third round) to No. 70 to take Arkansas receiver Isaac TeSlaa. They gave the Jacksonville Jaguars two third-round picks in 2026 − the Lions have an extra third-round compensatory pick next year for losing Aaron Glenn to the New York Jets − and received two sixth-round picks back, No. 182 this year and a sixth-rounder in 2026.
