While the Detroit Lions might not have hit on few more recent draft picks under general manager Brad Holmes, he certainly hit it out of the park on one pick from 2025: right guard Tate Ratledge.
The rookie was immediately thrust into the starting lineup after camp and sitting out of the preseason, growing into one of the team's more consistently solid offensive linemen by the end of the season.
Ratledge currently sits at 10th overall amongst guards in run blocking on PFF, and has a 69.7 grade overall on the site. That's not too shabby for a rookie who was tested at both guard and center in the offseason.
