Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureC+
The Lions cashed the board's mistake on Carroll: B-.

The Lions' one glaring miss is cornerback, a need they left exactly as they found it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Carroll. The Ayomanor pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In the 16th pick they get a problem off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick122 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
They went early on Elic Ayomanor in pick 122, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick125 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in pick No. 125 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A slide stopped in No. 160, with Jamon Dumas-Johnson worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Quinn Carroll
Somehow Quinn Carroll was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 27, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at the 230th overall pick is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Terion Stewart
Good price on Terion Stewart in the Round 7 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
