Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueF NeedA- TradesA+ FutureA
The Lions turned the phones into found money: C+.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Lions would have aced it. Giles Jackson at Round 4, Pick 13 is 240 spots clear of where he belonged. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Castro. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 RJ Oben
In slot 28 they get juice off the edge, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick115 Rnd4 Giles Jackson
Giles Jackson at the 115th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick130 Rnd4 Davin Vann
They talked themselves into Davin Vann at pick No. 130, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick196 Rnd6 Torricelli Simpkins III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Torricelli Simpkins III in No. 196, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick244 Rnd7 Sebastian Castro
They robbed the room for Sebastian Castro here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
