Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Lions a B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named linebacker, a need the Lions walked right past. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Thornton Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The cost of the Jackson reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In slot 28 they get a disruptor off the edge, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 60th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in pick 130 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick196 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. slid further than he should have, and pick No. 196 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick228 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
They paid sticker price for Dante Trader Jr. in No. 228, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick244 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
A straight-up fair deal on Ty Hamilton at the 244th pick, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
