CHI may jump on Byram, but they've drafted D with their last few top picks, they need to start looking at Towes replacement (which Turcotte would fit perfectly). COL also doesn't need D, they've got a plethora in the NHL very young, plus a few in the minors. They need Cs, Cozens or Dach (or maybe Zegras). LAK needs everything, so they'll go BPA. It's conceivable that Byram makes it to 6. Either way, one of these 4 that would interest DET will be available at 6: Byram, Turcotte, Cozens, and Dach (and probably in that preference order). Either way, Byram isn't an immediate NHL player (probably only Hughes and Kappo will be this year).
But, in your lineup, no Hronek, who is basically guaranteed a top 4 spot? .5 PPG as a Calder eligible player, without sheltered minutes, a positive Corsi (50.3 on a bad defensive team), and an unlucky PDO (98.3, which means he was unlucky but could have better numbers).
