Despite fans hoping for a splash signing to complement Aidan Hutchinson, general manager Brad Holmes and the front office have opted for patience. And if a recent mock draft is any indication, they may be playing the long game with their sights set on a high-upside draft addition.<\/p>\n<p>In a new mock draft by FOX Sports analyst Ralph Vacchiano, the Lions are projected to move down from their original spot in the 2025 NFL Draft. In the scenario, Detroit trades with the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles and slides back to the 32nd overall pick. The Eagles, looking to secure an offensive tackle, reportedly leap up for Josh Simmons\u2014while the Lions still get their man: explosive Marshall EDGE Mike Green.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/detroitsportsnation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2024-12-21-at-9.19.22-PM.png?ezimgfmt=rs%3Adevice%2Frscb151-1\" sizes=\"auto, \" srcset=\"\" alt=\"Detroit Lions Pull Off Trade, Land Stud EDGE in 2025 NFL Mock Draft\" width=\"1336\" height=\"1014\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"h-green-brings-the-heat\"><strong>Green Brings the Heat<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Green may not come from a powerhouse program, but his production speaks for itself. Green led the FBS with 17 sacks last season, creating havoc off the edge with a relentless motor and sharp instincts. His ability to disrupt plays and generate pressure in key moments has turned heads, especially among teams that value grit and upside\u2014like the Lions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis 6-3, 251-pounder plays with an edge that Dan Campbell is just going to love,\u201d Vacchiano noted. \u201cIt\u2019s a big leap from the level of competition he\u2019s played at, but his ceiling might be high.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-the-fit-in-detroit\"><strong>The Fit in Detroit<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s no secret about the Lions\u2019 need for help opposite Hutchinson. The release of Za\u2019Darius Smith and the injury concerns around Marcus Davenport have left Detroit thin at a crucial spot on the defense. While Green may need time to adjust to the NFL level, his raw tools and relentless play style are tailor-made for the culture Dan Campbell has built in Detroit.<\/p>\n<p>Trading back and still securing a player of Green\u2019s caliber would be a win-win scenario. Not only would it give the Lions added draft capital, but it would also fill a major need with a player who fits the team\u2019s identity to a tee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you think he will be available at this pick?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19314,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19313","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 -
