Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C
ValueF NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Lions: C.

The Lions bet big and early on Dylan Braithwaite, 309 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

Roberts at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

So much rides on Isaiah World that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Isaiah World
In the 24th pick they get protection for the quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Xavier Nwankpa
Value said wait; Xavier Nwankpa in pick No. 55 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick121 Rnd4 Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II in Round 4, Pick 21 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jalen Thompson
Jalen Thompson at slot 134 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick164 Rnd5 Dijon Johnson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dijon Johnson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick198 Rnd6 Dylan Braithwaite
Dylan Braithwaite in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts at the 218th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
