Heading into the 2025 NFL Draft, the prevailing thought was that the Detroit Lions would seek a pass rusher who would play opposite of star Aidan Hutchinson. But the organization has yet to address that need with their first three picks. "We're not going to chase a position," general manager Brad Holmes reiterated Friday.

The Lions’ newest guard is athletic as all get-out. Ratledge scored an unofficial 9.98 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) out of a possible 10.00, ranking fourth out of 1,592 offensive guards from 1987 to 2025.

The club used a second-round pick on offensive guard Tate Ratledge in the second round. The Lions have five picks remaining. The 2025 NFL draft coverage will be broadcasted across NFL Network, ESPN, ESPN2 and ABC. Cord cutters can also stream the draft live on NFL+, ESPN+ or Fubo, which comes with a free trial for new users.
