Detroit Lions Eyeing Josh Sweat Signing, Evan Stewart for 2025 NFL Draft
By BVM Sportsdesk, 09/04/2024
Looking ahead to the 2025 NFL season, analysts are recommending moves for the Detroit Lions. Bleacher Report’s Matt Holder suggests signing Pro Bowl defensive end Josh Sweat from the Philadelphia Eagles and drafting Oregon wide receiver Evan Stewart. With potential voids in defensive end and wide receiver roles, both players align with the Lions’ physical style of play.
By the Numbers
Josh Sweat has 35 career sacks and 45 tackles for loss (TFL) over six seasons.
Evan Stewart is projected as a Day 2 draft pick, standing at 6-foot and weighing 175 pounds.
Yes, But
While adding Sweat and Stewart addresses key needs, it hinges on whether current players like Marcus Davenport and Jameson Williams can elevate their performance in 2024. Persistent injury issues and underwhelming seasons could shift the Lions’ strategy significantly.
State of Play
Marcus Davenport is on a one-year deal, raising concerns about the Lions’ defensive line depth.
Jameson Williams’ breakout performance is critical for the Lions’ wide receiver strategy moving forward.
What’s Next
Detroit is likely to focus their 2025 offseason efforts on solidifying the defensive edge and expanding their receiving options, particularly evaluating Sweat and Stewart as key additions, depending on the outcomes of 2024.
Bottom Line
The Lions must consider signing experienced players like Sweat and prioritizing skillful rookies like Stewart to enhance competitiveness and fill crucial gaps for future success.
