The Detroit Lions sat idly by watching other teams make picks in the fourth and fifth rounds on Day 3 of the 2025 NFL draft after not having selections in those rounds following some trades.However, the Lions did manage to make a trade up with the New England Patriots that got them back into the fifth round.

Miles Frazier played 2 seasons of left tackle at Florida International and made starts at RT, RG and LG in 3 seasons at LSU

The Lions doubled up on offensive guards for the first time since taking Jonah Jackson and Logan Stenberg in 2020, taking Ratledge in Round 2 and Frazier in Round 5. They dipped into the same training group as Frazier and Tate Ratledge and spent time together during the pre-draft process under the guidance of offensive line guru Duke Manyweather.
