The Detroit Lions have two picks scheduled Friday on Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft. They own the No. 60 overall pick late in Round 2 and the No. 102 overall pick to end Round 3.
Who might the Lions pick and what are their needs? We looked at 16 prospects who we think would interest general manager Brad Holmes and the Lions. And we all know that starts with a defensive end.
But here’s a few Day 2 mock draft predictions from draftniks.

Bob Baffert is back at the Kentucky Derby for the first time in four years, having served his punishment for Medina Spirit’s failed drug test and coming to the place where he’s won a record-tying six times.
He’s settled in at his old Barn 33, the signs boasting of his Churchill Downs triumphs again hanging on the outside wall.
“I’m going to have fun now that everything is behind me,” Baffert told The Associated Press in an interview this week.

This isn’t some grand conspiracy or anything like that.
The biggest story of the 2025 NFL Draft wasn’t the Jacksonville Jaguars’ massive swing to trade up for WR/CB Travis Hunter, it wasn’t the massive run on linemen in the first round.
It was, as always, a slide. A very prominent slide.
Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders was not picked in the first round of the draft, and it led to a lot of takes, on both sides of the coin:
ESPN shows that its Draft Day predictor thought there was a 96% chance Shedeur Sanders would go by the 21st pick.

Jaguars GM James Gladstone offers a poetic explanation for Travis Hunter pick
The 2025 NFL Draft began as expected, with the Tennessee Titans drafting quarterback Cam Ward out of Miami.
Then, everything changed.
While Travis Hunter Jr., the incredible two-way standout from Colorado and the most recent winner of the Heisman Trophy, was the second pick Thursday night his landing spot came as a big surprise. Rather than the Cleveland Browns standing pat and taking Hunter at No.

The goal is to normalize sobriety, and since 2019, this group has grown to 2,000-plus fans and counting.
When you think of the city of Green Bay, you probably think of the Packers. This week, you almost definitely think of the NFL draft, which will kick off at Lambeau Field on Thursday, Apr. 24.
One thing that probably doesn’t come to mind is sobriety.
In addition to cheese curds and bratwurst, Wisconsin is known for its beer. Breweries like New Glarus, Central Waters Brewing, and even the behemoth brand Miller are all brewed in Wisconsin.
Derrick Harmon’s plan late Thursday night was to go visit his mother Tiffany Saine after he was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first round of the NFL draft. He told reporters on a conference call about his plans and, well, it was heartbreaking.
Harmon’s mother was in the hospital Thursday night.
On life support.
So getting picked by the Steelers, signaling the possibility of a great NFL future ahead, was muted by the pain Harmon was feeling over his sick mother.
The Philadelphia Eagles have accepted an invitation to visit the White House, but quarterback Jalen Hurts doesn’t seem too excited about that.
Hurts attended the TIME 100 Gala on Thursday, where he was asked by a reporter from TIME if he would be going with his teammates to the White House. The team reportedly “enthusiastically accepted” the invitation to meet with Donald Trump back in March, and they will finally be able to make the visit happen on Monday the 28th.
However, they might be without their star quarterback once they go.

Diving into the latest 2025 NFL Draft rumors before the second round gets underway
The first round of the 2025 NFL Draft is in the books.
But with six rounds remaining, and over 200 selections to go, we are a long way from writing the full story. In a matter of a few hours, the Cleveland Browns will be back on the clock to open the second night of the draft, and given that, the rumors are still swirling around Lambeau Field.
Before the Browns are on the clock, let’s dive back in.
Not all New York Giants fans were happy with the team drafting quarterback Jaxson Dart during the first round of Thursday’s NFL Draft, including one of the morning show hosts from the team’s flagship station!
On Friday, Gregg Giannotti of The Boomer Esiason Show on WFAN and the CBS Sports Network went off… and I mean OFF on Dart, with the longtime morning show cohost even calling him a “pudgy, Utah clapper,” while also saying that Giants fans are obsessed with “sucking [Dart] off.
