The 2025 NFL Draft is complete, and teams are now looking to get their draft picks, undrafted players and tryout players on the field for rookie minicamps across the league before they join the veterans for OTAs. The four teams in the NFC North certainly believe they are better today than they were early last week thanks to the new infusion of young talent via this year's draft.
Now that the dust has settled on the draft, let's take a look at who Detroit, Minnesota, Green Bay and Chicago added to their rosters and how it might impact the division moving forward:
DETROIT
Draft picks: Rd 1- DT Tyleik Williams (Ohio State), Rd 2 – IOL Tate Ratledge (Georgia), Rd 3 – WR Isaac TeSlaa (Arkansas), Rd 5 – IOL Miles Frazier (LSU), Rd 6 – EDGE Ahmed Hassanein (Boise State), Rd 7 – S Dan Jackson (Georgia), Rd 7 – WR Dominic Lovett (Georgia)
Most impactful pick: The Lions were ecstatic to get Williams at No. 28 and think he can be an instant impact player, especially with Alim McNeill potentially not ready for the start of the regular season due to a torn ACL suffered in mid-December. Williams is a big, strong interior defender with plus quickness and speed for his size.
He didn't have a ton a pass-rush production in college (11.5 sacks), but that had a lot to so with Ohio State's scheme and what they asked Williams to do, according to Buckeyes defensive line coach Larry Johnson. The Lions expect that to be a bigger part of his game at the NFL level as they already consider him to be a plus run stopper from the get-go.
Sleeper pick: The Lions return a veteran wide receiver room led by Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Tim Patrick and Kalif Raymond, but Detroit expects third-round pick Isaac TeSlaa to be a contributor on offense and on special teams from the onset. He's got a terrific frame at 6-foot-4 with 4.4 speed and the ability to extend the defense. New Lions offensive coordinator John Morton will find ways to get TeSlaa in space and special teams coordinator Dave Fipp will have a good plan for him on teams too.
Twentyman: One of the things that stands out the most about Detroit's draft class is its athleticism. It ranks in the top Top 10 in RAS (Relative Athletic Score) among all draft classes. Typically, teams want to come out of the draft with three starters or key contributors, a couple depth players, and then in the late rounds draft some players who have a chance to compete and make the roster based on skillsets and athleticism. That was certainly the case with Detroit's class.
Williams and Ratledge have a chance to start, TeSlaa, Frazier, Hassanein and Jackson could bring depth to their positions groups, and Lovett could make a special teams impact. Overall, Lions general manager Brad Holmes got his type of players with the athleticism and mindset that fit the Lions.
MINNESOTA
Draft picks: Rd 1 – OL Donovan Jackson (Ohio State), Rd 3 – WR Tai Felton (Maryland), Rd 5 – EDGE Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins (Georgia), Rd 6 – LB Kobe King (Penn State), Rd 6 – TE Gavin Bartholomew (Pittsburgh).
Most impactful pick: Jackson slots in right away as the starting left guard for the Vikings and should make an immediate impact upfront for them from Day 1 as he rounds out their offensive line. J.J. McCarthy looks to be the starting quarterback for the Vikings in 2025 and it's never a bad investment to shore up the offensive line in front of a young signal caller.
Sleeper pick: Felton is entering a great situation in Minnesota with Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and Jalen Nailor already in the room. There's not a lot of pressure to make an immediate impact. He's got a good frame at 6-foot-2 and caught 96 passes for 1,124 yards and nine touchdowns last season for Maryland. What can he do with all the single coverage he's going to see in that offense with those returning players at receiver?
Twentyman: Minnesota came into this draft with just four total picks, the fewest of any team, and was able to add one more via a trade with the Rams. General manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah had to be precise in his approach to adding young talent and came away filling a few needs on both sides of the ball. One need they didn't address was in the secondary so don't be surprised if that's addressed via free-agent signings or a trade before the start of the season.
GREEN BAY
Draft picks: Rd 1 – WR Matthew Golden (Texas), Rd 2 – OT Anthony Belton (North Carolina State), Rd 3 – WR Savion Williams (TCU), Rd 4 – EDGE Barryn Sorrell (Texas), Rd 5 – EDGE Collin Oliver (Oklahoma State), Rd 6 – DL Warren Brinson (Georgia), Rd 7 – CB Micah Robinson (Tulane), Rd 7 – OL John Williams (Cincinnati).
Most impactful pick: The Packers needed a legit No. 1 receiver and they hope Golden provides that for Matt LaFleur's offense. It's a tough ask of a rookie, but Golden is a game-breaker and paired with Green Bay's other weapons on the outside he's going to get every opportunity to be a big-play receiver in their offense.
Sleeper pick: Oliver missed most of last season with a foot injury but in 2023 was an All-Big 12 performer with 15.5 tackles for loss, 6.0 sacks and four forced fumbles. He's extremely athletic at 6-foot-2, 240 pounds with a 1.57 second 10-yard split, 39-inch vertical and 10-foot-6 inch broad jump. He could surprise some people in camp.
Twentyman: The Packers loaded up on weapons and big men. Not bad. Overall, Green Bay added competition at some key spots. They have given the offense a jolt of speed with Golden and a Swiss-army knife piece with Williams. They added physical presence upfront along the offensive line and some intriguing pass rushers they can work with. It certainly wasn't a typical Green Bay draft, but there are some nice players to work with there.

CHICAGO
Draft picks: Rd 1 – TE Colston Loveland (Michigan), Rd 2 – WR Luther Burden III (Missouri), Rd 2 – OL Ozzy Trapilo (Boston College), Rd 2 – EDGE Shemar Turner (Texas A&M), Rd 4 – LB Ruben Hyppolite II (Maryland), Rd 5 – CB Zah Frazier (Texas-San Antonio), Rd 6 – IOL Luke Newman (Michigan State), Rd 7 - RB Kyle Monangai (Rutgers).
Most impactful pick: New head coach Ben Johnson coached tight ends in Detroit before becoming the offensive coordinator and that position plays a big role in his offense. Now he's got two pretty good ones to work with in veteran Cole Kmet and the rookie Loveland, who fits Johnson's scheme perfectly and could have the same impact in Chicago that Sam LaPorta had in Detroit as a rookie.
Sleeper pick: I was a little surprised Burden slipped to Day 2. He's got a chance to play an important role in Chicago's offense as a slot and run-after-catch playmaker. Could he play the St. Brown role in the Bears' offense?
Twentyman: Chicago made some key veteran acquisitions in free agency that allowed them the flexibility to pick best available on their board when it came to the draft. Picking the best available players allowed the Bears to stock up on depth and increase competition across the roster, especially on offense. If that revamped offensive line can be as good as the Bears hope, they can be a scary offense and have a chance to be one of the NFC's biggest risers from last season.
