The trio dissected the team’s recent draft selections, evaluated rookie performances, and discussed the broader implications for the upcoming season.
Draft Class Under the Microscope
The Lions’ 2025 draft class has sparked diverse opinions. Analytical models, such as those from The Athletic, assigned the class an ‘F’ grade, citing perceived “reaches” and questionable trade values. However, the Lions’ front office remains confident in their selections, emphasizing fit and potential over consensus rankings.
Rookie Minicamp Highlights
Rookie minicamp offered the first glimpse of the new additions in action:
Tyleik Williams (DT): The first-round pick from Ohio State was limited in participation due to a pre-planned regimen but showcased his imposing size and versatility during walkthroughs. Isaac TeSlaa (WR): The undrafted free agent turned heads with his athleticism and route-running, making a strong case for a roster spot.
