Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Lions.

Nobody had Thor Griffith this high, and it is not close. The Lions reached 64 spots to get him at No. 246. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The Gordon II pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Mike Green
In No. 28 they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tre Harris
A quiet steal in slot 60: Tre Harris for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
They paid up for Jared Wilson at pick No. 101 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick133 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
Circle this one: Carson Schwesinger at pick 133 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at the 198th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
They will replay Ollie Gordon II at Round 7, Pick 9 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at slot 230 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick246 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Thor Griffith. A minor need, but a need all the same.
