What the Detroit Lions' depth chart looks like right now, where they're done and where they need more help

We still have a very long way to go before the Detroit Lions have a real-life depth chart. But now is a good time to take a breath and look at what things can look like. Let's break down the Lions' depth chart as it stands right now.

Offense

The Lions aren't done on offense, but they're very close. In the draft, I would expect them to look for their next starting left or right tackle. We don't know where Penei Sewell is going, but he's staying on the right side until we're informed otherwise by the team itself.

The rest of the elkine looks a lot deeper than it did last year, and that is a big plus. The only other offensive position I can really see the Lions maybe adding to is running back. If they find someone in the draft that they can't say no to, I can definitely see them adding one.

Defense

The secondary is pretty well figured out. Maybe the Lions add one more cornerback in the draft who can compete. But they're set for the most part, and that should be a pretty solid unit in 2025.

Everywhere else needs a ton of help. Especially the edges. The Lions may look to add there in free agency. But they also need to add probably multiple guys in the draft. The Linebacker room needs depth, and they need to make sure their next Will linebacker is taken in the draft. Rodriguez is good and will be some premium depth, but he's not likely to be seen as the starter there.

A lot of work is clearly still left to be done for the Lions. We'll see how they attack all of this in the next month and a half.
