The Detroit Lions are preparing for the 2025 NFL Draft with a focus on offensive tackle prospects. With veteran Taylor Decker approaching 32 and dealing with injuries, the Lions may seek to bolster the offensive line. The team is not expected to draft an OT in every round but aims to identify potential fits for each selection. The draft's first three rounds will see the Lions picking at No. 28, 60, and 102, respectively.

Top prospects include Josh Simmons from Ohio State, who could slide due to his recent injury; Aireontae Ersery from Minnesota, known for his strong performance in the Big Ten; and Ozzy Trapilo from Boston College, who has experience playing alongside current Lions players. Each prospect brings unique strengths and weaknesses that could be leveraged to improve the Lions' offensive line.
