We're talking about the draft later than usual, but much sooner than anyone expected this year, now that we know where the Lions will pick in Round 1.

The Detroit Lions ' 2024 season is over, but the 2025 NFL draft buzz is just beginning. The Lions hold the 28th overall pick in the first round, after being the team with the best record of the four losers on divisional round weekend.

The Detroit Lions are in the midst of gearing up for the offseason faster than anyone wanted them to. That means it's time for futures deals. On Monday the Lions signed 11 players to deals and that continues today.

Now, the Lions are also starting over at both the offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator positions on their coaching staff, with OC Ben Johnson being hired to be the next head coach of the Chicago Bears and DC Aaron Glenn being hired to be the next head coach of the New York Jets.

Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn has been involved in the NFL in some capacity. From a 15-year playing career at cornerback after being drafted by the Jets in 1994 to his impressive transition into coaching.

A person with knowledge of the hiring says the New York Jets and Aaron Glenn have agreed to terms on making the Detroit Lions defensive coordinator their head coach.
