Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Lions won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

The Lions spent real capital to be 66 picks early on Eric Gentry, and the board is going to hold them to it. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Riley Moss deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In pick No. 30 they get a building block for the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Sam Hecht
A wild overpay on Sam Hecht in the 50th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick62 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
Gabe Jacas at slot 62 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Caden Curry
Caden Curry at pick 94 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick108 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
They talked themselves into Kyle Louis at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick118 Rnd4 Hezekiah Masses
They paid up for Hezekiah Masses at No. 118 when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick155 Rnd5 Sam Roush
No drama and no debate, Sam Roush went about where he belonged in No. 155. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Bud Clark
They paid sticker price for Bud Clark in the 186th overall pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Keyron Crawford
They left a pile of value on the table to take Keyron Crawford this early at slot 203. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at the 212th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jalen Catalon
A conviction pick on Jalen Catalon at pick No. 222 that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
