Detroit Lions updated depth chart: Post-2025 NFL Draft

Here’s an updated look at the Detroit Lions’ depth chart following the conclusion of the 2025 NFL Draft.

With the 2025 NFL Draft behind us, it’s an ideal time to take a look at the Detroit Lions roster and project where the team’s new players fit into the depth chart. During the draft, the Lions acquired seven new draft picks to their roster, and another reported 11 undrafted free agents—though that will put the team at 91 players, meaning one is reported incorrectly or a roster transaction is imminent.

This version of the Lions depth chart lists/ranks all the players on the current roster but also highlights the team’s current projected starters (bolded) and new rookies* (asterisked).

Quarterback (3)

Jared Goff
Hendon Hooker
Kyle Allen

The Lions didn’t acquire a rookie via the draft or the UDFA market, but they will host Eastern Michigan’s Cole Snyder—who was at their local pro day—on a tryout at rookie minicamp.

Running back (6)

Jahmyr Gibbs
David Montgomery
Craig Reynolds
Sione Vaki
Kye Robichaux* — Reported UDFA
Anthony Tyus* — Reported UDFA

With all four of their backs returning from last season, the Lions only reportedly brought in two UDFAs who will help take the load off during camp and could be competing for a spot on the practice squad.

Wide receiver (11)

Amon-Ra St. Brown
Jameson Williams
Tim Patrick
Kalif Raymond
Isaac TeSlaa* — Third-round pick
Dominic Lovett* — Seventh-round pick
Tom Kennedy
Antoine Green
Ronnie Bell
Jackson Meeks* — Reported UDFA
Jakobie Keeney-James* — Reported UDFA

The Lions spent two draft picks on receivers in TeSlaa and Lovett while also reportedly bringing in two more UDFAs in Meeks and Keeney-James. The Lions gave up three third-round picks to acquire TeSlaa, so he’s almost assuredly sliding into a WR5 role, but Lovett will need to work to earn the WR6 role. At this time, I am projecting him into that role because of his special teams, but Meeks could certainly challenge him—while also being a developmental WR-X option.

Tight end (6)

Sam LaPorta
Brock Wright
Shane Zylstra
Kenny Yeboah
Caden Prieskorn* — Reported UDFA
Zach Horton* — Reported UDFA

With their top three tight ends returning from last year and the addition of Yeboah in free agency, the Lions felt content to stick to the UDFA market to acquire more talent. Prieskorn is an interesting prospect who could challenge for the TE3 role in camp.
