Draft Grade — Lions
Overall D+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureA
The Lions bet the future on Daniels. The board says D+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Eyabi Okie-Anoma; the Lions did not wait, grabbing him 33 spots ahead at Round 7, Pick 12. The math is unkind, and the D+ follows.

So much rides on Jayden Daniels that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Lassiter. The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, offensive lineman very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 15th pick they get their quarterback of the future, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick29 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In slot 29 they get a premier pass rusher, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson is a better player than pick No. 61 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick92 Rnd3 Kamari Lassiter
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Kamari Lassiter in No. 92, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
They read the board right and Tykee Smith was the payoff at the Round 5 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
They robbed the room for Cornelius Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
They reached a country mile for Eyabi Okie-Anoma at pick 232, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Logan Lee
Good price on Logan Lee in the 247th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It adds depth where they could use a little.
