Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Lions: B-.

The Lions torched the value chart for Eric Gentry, taking him 64 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They banked enough surplus on Pregnon to cover a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In No. 17 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
They let Emmanuel Pregnon come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick118 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
Bishop Fitzgerald slipping to Round 4, Pick 18 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick155 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
Value said wait; Patrick Payton in the 155th overall pick says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
A reach for Trey Zuhn III in pick 186; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
A real head-scratcher, Eric Gentry in the 203rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jordan Hall
A big swing on Jordan Hall at the 212th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jack Velling
By-the-book stuff, Jack Velling at the 222nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
