Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Lions for Jackson Jr.: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Lions were there to profit. Darrell Jackson Jr., the No. 65 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 118. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Neal reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
Cashius Howell at pick 18 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick50 Rnd2 Julian Neal
Julian Neal at No. 50 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick118 Rnd4 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. in Round 4, Pick 18 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jude Bowry
Jude Bowry at the 134th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick158 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
A running back of that caliber at slot 158 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick182 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick199 Rnd6 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels in pick No. 199 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jordan Castell
A conviction pick on Jordan Castell at the 217th overall pick that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
