Heading into the 2025 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions didn't have too many pressing needs. Defensive and offensive line depth were up there, and so was wide receiver and safety depth, but nothing too jarring.
The team addressed the D-line, O-line, and receiver with their first three picks, respectively, with Tyliek Williams, Tate Ratledge, and Isaac TeSlaa, further cementing the roster as one of the league's most talented and impressive. With needs out of the way, the later rounds presented them with an opportunity to swing on general unknowns.
Well, when that unknown leads the Georgia Bulldogs in receiving yards and moonlights as a special-teams ace, it's relatively easy to make the phone call.
