Draft Grade — Lions
Overall D
ValueF NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Lions to a D.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Lions took Ty French a full 293 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

Getting Belton where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and linebacker is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In the 28th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tai Felton
Tai Felton in pick No. 60 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick102 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jared Wilson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Ty French
A real head-scratcher, Ty French in pick 130 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jaylin Smith
Value said wait; Jaylin Smith in No. 152 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick196 Rnd6 Joe Huber
Joe Huber at Round 6, Pick 20 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Alijah Clark
Alijah Clark at the 228th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick244 Rnd7 Anthony Belton
They barely believed it either: Anthony Belton still on the board at pick No. 244. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
