Official depth charts often leave you wanting more, which is why I develop my own based on what I know about the players, projected expectations of roles, and first-hand observations from training camp and practices. Obviously, we’re still a long way away from practices, which is why this version of the depth chart is painted with a broad stroke, but as more information becomes available, I'll be publishing updated versions of this chart with more specifics on how players fit into this roster.
At this stage of the offseason, the Detroit Lions can have up to 90-players on their active roster, but for now, they only have 56 under contract—with one player expected to be released or traded any day now.
