Overall B-

ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-

The Lions robbed the room for Jones. Final grade: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Logan Jones at the Round 4 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick17 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling

In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.

Pick50 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas

They paid sticker price for Gabe Jacas in Round 2, Pick 18, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.

Pick118 Rnd4 Julian Neal

Julian Neal at No. 118 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.

Pick128 Rnd4 Logan Jones

They will replay Logan Jones at the 128th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.

Pick157 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard

Fair-plus on Skyler Gill-Howard, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor itch, scratched.

Pick181 Rnd5 Zane Durant

Zane Durant in slot 181 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
