NFC North 2025 NFL Draft Grades: Analysis of Every Team's Picks

The Bears' red-hot offseason just keeps getting better. Snagging Colston Loveland, a smooth, athletic pass-catcher with shades of Darren Waller, was a masterstroke. He's tailor-made for the Sam LaPorta role in Ben Johnson's offense and gives Caleb Williams yet another weapon to play with. But Chicago didn't stop there—they doubled down on firepower.

Luther Burden might be the most electric receiver in the class, Ozzy Trapilo could soon be breathing down Braxton Jones' neck for that left tackle spot, and Shemar Turner is a raw but powerful interior presence with three-down potential. Sure, a running back earlier would've been ideal, but don't sleep on Kyle Monangai. The Rutgers bruiser runs angry and flashes sneaky wiggle, he could quietly become a tone-setter on early downs behind this beefed-up O-line.

The Lions tore up the draft value charts and did what they do best, build from the trenches with grit and grit alone. First-rounder Tyleik Williams may have raised a few eyebrows, but he's the top run stuffer in this class and fits Detroit's smashmouth identity. Tate Ratledge is another brawler up front and should get a shot to plug the gap at right guard. The wildcard? Isaiah TeSlaa.

Taking him early felt like a curveball, but his blend of size, speed, and versatility gives Jared Goff another chess piece. Bottom line: the Lions didn't care about internet mock drafts: they followed their own board and went all-in on toughness. Again.

Either they weren't sold on last year's receiving group or they’re betting big on strength in numbers. It's now up to Matt LaFleur to sort through the traffic jam and find the right mix for Jordan Love, but competition in the receiver room can only sharpen the edges.

While Green Bay may still be without a true alpha wideout, Golden brings breakaway speed and sure hands, while Savion Williams is turning heads with his Deebo-like versatility out of the backfield. The only gripe? The Packers may have kicked the can a little too far down the road when it came to adding juice to the pass rush.

The Vikings made one thing crystal clear this offseason: they're determined to keep J.J. McCarthy upright and out of trouble. After watching Sam Darnold's season go off the rails under heavy pressure, Minnesota bolstered its trenches by snagging the rock-solid Donovan Jackson to round out a revamped offensive line.

He'll join experienced new faces Ryan Kelly and Will Fries, forming a front that should give McCarthy the time he needs to settle in. Add in Tai Felton, a sure-handed Maryland standout who piled up 96 grabs for over 1,100 yards and nine scores, and you've got a rookie QB set up to hit the ground running.
