If you have been following Pride of Detroit for a while now, then it’s probably no secret that I personally do not love mock drafts like so many others do. I think sometimes we as fans and analysts can get too wrapped up in them, and that they can skew fact from fiction ahead of…

The 2025 NFL Draft is just a few days away and while Green Bay is hosting this year’s event, Lions president Rod Wood isn’t too concerned Detroit’s hosting job last year will be rivaled.

Brad Holmes was more than happy to spend his 18th overall selection in 2023 on Jack Campbell, a move widely panned that turned into vindication quickly in Campbell’s…

For the past several offseason, the Detroit Lions have targeted the cornerback position as both a short and long-term position of need. Now, in 2025, it seems they are well set up for both.
