With the No. 28 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Lions are expected to select EDGE Mike Green from Marshall.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/detroitsportsnation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-02-at-7.37.30-AM.png\" alt=\"2024 Detroit Lions Schedule Kaden Davis Detroit Lions Rookie Minicamp Detroit Lions Breakout Player Detroit Lions Depth Chart\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-pass-rush-still-a-major-need-for-lions\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pass Rush Still a Major Need for Lions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Brooks notes that the Lions&#8217; lack of pass rush down the stretch of the 2024 season could prompt general manager Brad Holmes to invest heavily in strengthening this critical area. \u201cThe lack of a pass rush down the stretch could prompt general manager Brad Holmes to invest heavily in this area, giving Aidan Hutchinson some support once he returns to health,\u201d Brooks writes.<\/p>\n<p>Hutchinson, who missed a large portion of the 2024 season with a fractured leg, is expected to return to full health by the start of the 2025 season. While Hutchinson is undoubtedly one of the top pass rushers in the NFL, it\u2019s clear that the Lions can\u2019t rely on him to carry the entire load. Adding a dynamic pass rusher like Mike Green would allow the Lions to significantly improve their defensive line and provide Hutchinson with the support he needs to excel.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-why-mike-green-could-be-the-answer\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Mike Green Could Be the Answer<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Green, a natural quarterback hunter, is rapidly emerging as a top talent in the draft. With his speed and ability to apply pressure on opposing quarterbacks, Green is an ideal fit for the Lions\u2019 defense. Brooks highlights Green&#8217;s potential, noting that the young pass rusher is a force to be reckoned with and would be an asset to any team needing a boost in the pass-rush department.<\/p>\n<div class=\"td-a-ad id_inline_ad1 id_ad_content-horiz-center\"><\/div>\n<p>For the Lions, Green could be the missing piece to create a more formidable defensive line, complementing Hutchinson and helping to take the team\u2019s defense to the next level in the 2025 season. The addition of a player like Green would address one of the biggest needs on the roster and could have an immediate impact on the field.<\/p>\n<p>As the 2025 draft approaches, Detroit will be keeping a close eye on how their pass rush develops and whether they can land the playmaker that will elevate their defense. Green\u2019s selection would certainly go a long way toward accomplishing that goal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please enable cookies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12180,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12179","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-detroit-lions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
