Best Pick: OG Miles Frazier, No. 171 Overall
What We Liked: The Lions continue their emphasis on size after solid results. Tyleik Williams is a big hog molly who can handle double teams with ease and should help build out a line that is hopefully less ravaged by injuries this year. Tate Ratledge and Miles Frazier build out a set of interior offensive linemen that could push to start as soon as the beginning of the season if Christian Mahogany doesn't pan out. It feels like the Lions found their needs early and stuck to their size requirements.
Not Sure About: Trading up with a future third-rounder to get Isaac TeSlaa feels like a classic Lions overthink. They love giving up lots of capital to get guys that weren't even on my radar as potential possibilities, and TeSlaa is no exception. A raw overaged wideout is not worth multiple Day 2 picks, and I don't think he'll do much with the limited time he'll have at his disposal in the Lions' wide receiver room. Ahmed Hassanein is also not a great fix at edge rusher.
