Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
The Lions cashed the board's mistake on Sanders: B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Raheim Sanders had no business being available in the Round 7 slot, and the Lions did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

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

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In No. 28 they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick No. 64 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick79 Rnd3 Tre Harris
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tre Harris in pick 79, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in slot 96 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They barely believed it either: Jake Majors still on the board at the Round 4 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick194 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Circle this one: Smael Mondon Jr. at the 194th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at Round 7, Pick 9 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick228 Rnd7 DJ Campbell
No edge and no loss on DJ Campbell in the 228th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick244 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Steal is underselling it; Raheim Sanders at the 244th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
