Another of the draft kings is on the board with 2025 mock drafts as NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah just released his first set of first-round projections Saturday. Like many other mocks, Jeremiah has the Lions getting help alongside Aidan Hutchinson with the 28th overall pick.
In this mock, the Lions select Marshall Edge Mike Green. Green has plenty of speed off the edge and made a living getting to the quarterback last season, recording 17 sacks, leading the nation.
“It will be huge for the Lions to get Aidan Hutchinson back next season,” wrote Jeremiah. “Green would be a perfect complement with his speed and quickness off the edge. This team values production off the edge and Green had a ton of it during his college career.”
Green had at least one sack in 10 of the 13 games he played this season. He also had four games with multiple sacks, including a three-sack game on November 9 against Southern Miss.
A healthy Hutchinson — 7.5 sacks in five games this season — coupled with the speed of Green and their added depth would go a long way towards getting the Lions back in the game getting after opposing quarterbacks.
