With the 2022 NFL Draft in the rearview mirror now, the Detroit Lions roster is nearly complete for the year. Though there are likely going to be tweaks, signings, and maybe even a trade over the next couple months, the biggest moves have likely already been made.
So now it’s time to look forward and see what this brand-new roster will look like when they’re ready to compete in the regular season. Below I have our first 53-man roster for the 2022 season. This exercise is not so much to see if I can correctly predict what will happen four months from now but to get a better idea of how improved the team will be from last year’s initial 53-man roster.
