Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC FutureA+
Larceny in No. 249 lands the Lions a B, Muhammad and all.

The board owed the Lions one, and it paid up: Jabbar Muhammad, the No. 227 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 7 slot like a gift left on the doorstep.

A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Kalen King
The board had Kalen King higher than the 60th pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jermaine Burton at pick No. 73 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at No. 91 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick123 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Batty at pick 165, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Nothing to complain about; Curtis Jacobs went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
They will replay Jabbar Muhammad at the 249th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
