With the conclusion of the 2025 Senior Bowl, discussions surrounding the upcoming NFL Draft are gaining momentum. Standout performances in Mobile, Alabama, have prompted analysts to revise their predictions, with the Detroit Lions once again making a strategic first-round selection.

In Justin Melo’s latest mock draft for The Draft Network, the Lions are expected to pick Princely Umanmielen, an EDGE rusher from Ole Miss, with the 28th overall selection. Umanmielen’s draft stock has surged following an impressive Senior Bowl week, particularly during weigh-ins, where he measured in at 264 pounds and showcased an impressive wingspan with arms exceeding 34 inches.

Why Umanmielen is a Good Fit for Detroit

Detroit struggled with pass rushing last season, especially after injuries to key players like Aidan Hutchinson and Alim McNeill exposed their lack of depth on the defensive line. With Hutchinson set to return at full strength in 2025, bringing in a dynamic and powerful edge rusher like Umanmielen could significantly enhance the Lions’ defense.
