If immediate fan reaction was any indication, the Detroit Lions’ moves on Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft were about as polarizing as you can get. While many praised the selection of Georgia guard Tate Ratledge in the first round—82% of Pride of Detroit readers gave it an “A” —fans were clearly not as enthusiastic for Detroit’s pick (and significant trade up) of Arkansas receiver Isaac TeSlaa—58% of Pride of Detroit readers gave it a C or lower.
When we look at the national perspective of the Lions’ Day 2 picks, it’s very similar.
