Executive producer and analyst for NFL Matchup and senior producer at NFL Films Greg Cosell has been kind enough to break down the Lions' draft class for detroitlions.com in each of the past 12 seasons, and has agreed to do so for a 13th year.

Cosell's opinions are based on countless hours watching film and evaluating these prospects. He is one of the most honest evaluators in the business, and is well respected among NFL circles.

Here's what he had to say about the Lions' 2025 draft class:

(Note: Cosell evaluated five of Detroit's seven picks in detail in this year's draft cycle.)

DL Tyleik Williams, Ohio State, Round 1 (No. 28 overall)

Cosell: "Williams' 2023 and 2024 tape showed a highly talented defensive tackle prospect with all the traits needed to be a quality and at times dominating interior defensive tackle with his desirable combination of strength, power, quickness and athleticism that showed up both as a 1-gap and 2-gap interior defensive lineman.

"Williams had dominant flashes throughout his tape in which he beat offensive guards with quickness off the ball and short stroke power with strong heavy hands to displace and drive back. Williams showed all the necessary traits demanded to play as both a 1-gap defensive tackle and 2-gap defensive tackle with the issue and the concern being his inability to play to those high-level traits with the consistency you would ideally like to see.

"Williams predominantly lined up at 3-technique and 4i with the question being whether that is where he will project and transition at the next level or will he be seen more as an athletic 1-technique and 2i given his size and mass.

"At his best, Williams can be an effective 3-technique showing the kind of lateral and gap quickness demanded of that alignment but there will be NFL teams that will see him as a 1-technique and 2i defensive tackle with his short stroke power and point of attack strength with heavy hands and powerful grip strength to deconstruct blocks and displace interior offensive linemen."

IOL Tate Ratledge, Georgia, Round 2 (No. 57 overall)

Cosell: "Ratledge's 2023 and 2024 tape showed a consistent and efficient right guard prospect who executed all the responsibilities demanded of him in the Georgia run game and pass game although there were concerns at times with one-on-one pass protection in which he struggled to control and sustain at times, having balance and body control issues.

"Ratledge was at his best as a run blocker executing base and drive blocks with short-area strength and power and finishing with a competitive edge. Ratledge's tape showed an offensive guard prospect whose identity and profile was that of a physical and competitive player whose aggressiveness and finishing traits consistently stood out, but he must continue to improve his balance and body control both as a run blocker and in pass protection."

WR Isaac TeSlaa, Arkansas, Round 3 (No. 70 overall)

Cosell: "TeSlaa's 2024 tape showed one of the most intriguing wide receiver prospects in the 2025 draft class with his outstanding height/weight/speed profile and athletic testing measurables that few receivers in the class possess. TeSlaa, at Arkansas, was almost exclusively a slot receiver (80 percent of targets in 2023 and 2024 came inside in slot alignments) and his tape showed that he effectively worked between the numbers at all three levels of the defense with the speed to run the vertical seam.

"TeSlaa showed strong hands and outstanding body control snatching the ball easily away from his frame and making high difficulty catches, including going up and high pointing the ball when demanded. While TeSlaa was predominantly a slot receiver at Arkansas, his projection and transition to the NFL could be more expansive depending on team and scheme.

"While it is not likely (certainly early in his career) that TeSlaa would become a boundary X receiver – although that could happen over time with his traits profile – he could line up as an outside receiver in offenses that feature reduced splits as a foundation of their pass game. Plus he is an excellent blocker which is increasingly important in run games where wide receivers are aligned tight to the formation."

IOL Miles Frazier, LSU, Round 5, (No. 171 overall)

Cosell: "Big frame with solid mass and thick dense build with good arm length for an offensive guard. Looks the part of an interior offensive lineman. In pass protection, (he) got out of stance quickly setting his base, balance and body control in position to block. Pass protection snaps in which he showed efficient mirror ability with lateral movement and active hand usage. Pass protection snaps with awareness and accelerated vision recognizing and reacting to stunts and pressures.

"Deployed as puller at times in gap scheme run game and while not plus athlete showed strong force on contact. Strength on contact as down blocker generating power with his lower half. (He) kept feet moving to sustain blocks. He showed the lateral movement and core strength to execute front side reach blocks. (He's) able to get his hips turned.

"Zone run game snaps in which he showed functional lateral movement to execute back side cut off blocks. Strong snaps of combo blocks then climbing to second level. (He) stayed balanced with the power to generate force. Outstanding playing personality. Competitive and physically tough with nasty finishing traits. Attitude player.

"Not a plus athlete for the offensive guard position – lateral agility and re-direct versus quickness off the ball and counters. Possesses very small hands for an offensive lineman at only nine inches. A critical factor that could be prohibitive for some NFL teams. Tendency as run blocker to come off the ball too high which negatively impacted power generation on contact.

"Frazier's 2024 tape showed all the needed attributes demanded to develop into a quality starting offensive guard at the next level."

WR Dominic Lovett, Georgia, Round 7 (No. 244 overall)

Cosell: "Lovett's tape at both Missouri and Georgia showed a quicker than fast wide receiver who was outstanding working out of the slot in the quick-timing passing game and who was often featured on manufactured touches like tunnel screens and jet sweeps to take advantage of his natural twitch and quickness as a dynamic run-after-catch weapon.

"Lovett at Georgia in 2023 was deployed in specific ways and was highly effective in the context of their passing game but you did not see a lot of routes versus man coverage where he had to separate at the top of his route stem although he did more of that in 2022 at Missouri, including running by slot corners and safeties on vertical routes. There is no question he has the natural quickness to do that.

"In 2023, Lovett was almost exclusively a space player rarely challenged off the line of scrimmage or through his route stem when he did release vertically with the question being whether that is the way he will best project to the next level which then limits how he can be deployed or will we see a more expanded role in 2024 to give a larger picture of what he can be in the NFL.

"In 2024, Lovett was again predominantly deployed as short, quick game receiver with a high percentage of his routes coming within five yards of the line of scrimmage or on manufactured touches but there were snapshots of route running from the slot in which he showed separation quickness at the top of the route stem.

"Lovett consistently showed excellent run-after-catch traits with a strong combination of elusiveness and shiftiness and short-area burst, which allows an offense to feature him on tunnel screens and quick game throws in which he has space.

"My sense watching Lovett is that there is much more to his game than what he was asked to do at Georgia and there were snapshots of that. At the next level, he can be deployed in multiple ways including as a movement receiver and the manufactured touches that were predominant in college and as much more of an intermediate route runner with both separation and route quickness."
