The 2025 NFL Draft came to a close on Saturday in Green Bay, wrapping up 257 selections from all 32 teams.

The Detroit Lions made seven picks in this year's draft, selecting four offensive players and three defensive players. Here's a short breakdown of each player:

• Round 1, Pick 28: Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State
  • At 6'6", 334 pounds, Williams is considered to be the best run stuffer in this year's draft. With Alim McNeill's availability being up in the air for the start of the season, the former Buckeye may see the field right away. His pass-rush does need some work, but the 2025 National Champion has shown the ability to be a game-wrecker in between the tackles. 
    • "I do think that he’s got a lot of versatility in his game," Lions GM Brad Holmes said. "He has the physical skillset, and he’s got the power. He’s got the bend and the agility. He’s a very nimble athlete, but he’s incredibly instinctive too. In my opinion, he was one of the top two instinctive defensive tackles in this whole class. He doesn’t say a lot, he’s more about his business, but he fits right in not only from the physical qualities. He’s going to fit in with the other standards that we have around here."
    • "I had great talks with the Lions when I met with them," Williams said. "They explained that I could be a key piece to the defense, so it was definitely in the back of my mind that it was a spot I could land. I know I’ll become a three-down player. I’m ready to work."
• Round 2, Pick 57: Tate Ratledge, OG, Georgia
  • Detroit traded up three spots to select the two-time national champion and 2024 team captain. Ratledge, measuring 6'6" and 317 pounds, only allowed a 1% pressure rate (according to Pro Football Focus) in almost 2,000 snaps since 2022. While he has been "dinged" for using a considerably high-pad level, the first-team All-American has been praised for his strength and grit that will fit the Lions' culture right away.
    • "(He) played through some serious toughness and came back playing at the top level for a long time," Lions GM Brad Holmes said. "I don’t think enough can be said about that level of football that he’s played in. A tough kid and a great locker room guy. He’s got a little bit more versatility and rose more as the process went along because of his versatility that we were able to find out a little bit more about. I thought that he would fit in just like a glove here."
    • "I’ve always been a fan of Dan Campbell and the way he runs his program and the way his offensive line plays," Ratledge said. "Everything about the way he runs this team, I feel like, is a great fit.”
• Round 3, Pick 70: Isaac TeSlaa, WR, Arkansas
  • In another trade-up maneuver, the Lions selected the former Hillsdale College and Unity Christan High School product. TeSlaa's athleticism jumps off the page with one of the highest Relative Athletic Scores in draft history, measuring a 4.43 40-yard dash, 39.5-inch vertical jump, and 4.05 second shuttle drill. The Lions did give up a lot to move up 32 spots to select TeSlaa, but his consistent  hands and high yards-per-reception numbers show the massive potential.
    • "Obviously, I knew all about his story before I met him, but just to hear him walk me and Dan (Campbell) through it in terms of just him getting to Hillsdale and how that process worked and even his family and the connection there (was unique),"Lions GM Brad Holmes said. "(When he went) to Arkansas and the higher production the year before dipped down, his explanation from there I thought he handled it very professionally. We were excited to go up there and pick him because he’s big, he can run, he’s tough, he’s smart, he’s a hands catcher, he blocks, and he plays special teams. That’s why we were excited to go and get him.”
    • "I see myself as someone who can play both positions," TeSlaa said. "Obviously, I have a big frame – speed, size, everything. So, that’s outside receiver, but I can also be moved to the slot. I feel like I bring a lot of versatility. It’s been not only a dream to play in the NFL, but to play for my hometown team, the team I’ve rooted for since I’ve been a baby – it’s just an incredible feeling."
• Round 5, Pick 171: Miles Frazier, OG, LSU
  • Frazier brings some of the most experience of any offensive lineman in this year's class. The former Tiger and FIU Panther made 51 starts in his college career at three different positions. His physical and mental tools bring great depth for the Lions offensive line but still needs some time to fine-tuning some technique details. 
    • "Hank (Fraley) is great in that he’s going to cross train them at everything," Lions GM Brad Holmes said on the offensive line plans (including Frazier). "He’s just going to throw them out there because he’s an elite-level coach, so he’s going to cross-train those guys (at center). That versatility can do a lot of things for you from a roster standpoint, especially if they’re on the active and you’re trying to construct the gameday roster." 
    • "I would just say I’m more of a mauler-type offensive lineman," Frazier said. "My coach at LSU (LSU OL Coach Brad Davis) coaches a lot about style points, extra effort, knockdowns, pancakes, so I’m always looking to give that extra effort and extra finishes. I just want to take my – I just want to showcase that at the next level and just show that I’m very dominant, and that will reflect in my tape.”
• Round 6, Pick 196: Ahmed Hassanein, EDGE, Boise State
  • Becoming the first Egyptian player drafted in NFL history, Hassanein shows a unique element to passing rushing. While he lacks in orthodox technique, he makes up for it with his high-motor style of play. The former two-time All-Mountain West first team selection brings some much-needed depth to the Lions pass rushing unit.
    • "He’s going to do everything he can and he’s going to try to make sure that he’s going to maximize every single thing that he’s got in his body," Lions GM Brad Holmes said. "He’s going to be very, very coachable, the kid would probably sleep in this facility if he could. That’s kind of what his makeup is. He’s got some things to learn and a ways to go, but you can make up a lot of things if you’re playing with effort and toughness and physicality."
    • "I haven’t even reached anything in my top ceiling," Hassanein said. "I’m just ready to grow, ready to learn, and ready to help the team whatever they need because they believe in me. Whoever believes in me, that means the world to me, especially Dan Campbell. I would die for that guy.”
• Round 7, Pick 230: Dan Jackson, S, Georgia
  • Jackson was a former walk-on for the Bulldogs, earning a starting spot this past season. He was nominated for the Burlsworth Trophy, awarded to the best walk-on, in 2024 thanks to 64 tackles and two interceptions. While he has a smaller 5'11" frame, he makes up for it with sub 4.5 40-yard dash speed, aggressive downhill tackling, and great special teams experience.
    • "We’ve always had a liking for Dan Jackson just in terms of being a heady safety and who’s gotten his hands on the football," Lions GM Brad Holmes said. "A lot of it is above the neck, but he actually faster than what a lot of people think. He’s been at the Senior Bowl, so he put together a nice little year."
    • "I think the three main things that I’ve always prided myself on are I’m fast, I’m physical and I’m tough," Jackson said. "I think that’s why I was able to have the success in college that I had. I just can’t wait to be a part of the Lions’ culture that they’ve built, and I’m just extremely excited to be a part of that.”
• Round 7, Pick 244: Dominic Lovett, WR, Georgia
  • As the third Bulldog selected, Lovett gives the Lions more speed in the receiver room. While limited in size at 5'10" and 185 pounds, the Missouri transfer has developed great hands and route running skills in the slot. The All-SEC second team honoree in 2022 has a great chance to contribute for Detroit on special teams, where he played the role of gunner effectively at Georgia.
    • "(Lovett) is another one that I’ve been a fan of," Lions GM Brad Holmes said. "He has speed, and he can do a lot of stuff from the slot, but he’s a really good special teams player. We’re fired up to get him."
    • "Whenever you put me out on the field, I just plan to make an impact any way I can, any way possible," Lovett said. "It may be on special teams or it may be on a third down or first down. I’m okay with being a teams-tool guy, wherever they need me to be. I would say gunner, kick returner, punt returner, or wherever you want to put me, I’m okay with that. I just want to see the field."
