Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureC
The Lions robbed the room for Hubbard. Final grade: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Bray Hubbard slide, and the Lions were the ones holding the card at No. 164. Highway robbery. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The cost of the Hardy reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Ashton Hampton
In No. 23 they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Teitum Tuioti
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Teitum Tuioti. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89 Rnd3 Niki Prongos
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Niki Prongos well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126 Rnd4 Xavier Atkins
Value with a capital V on Xavier Atkins in the 126th overall pick, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick164 Rnd5 Bray Hubbard
They barely believed it either: Bray Hubbard still on the board at Round 5, Pick 25. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204 Rnd6 Brandon Baker
They robbed the room for Brandon Baker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Kam Franklin
Kam Franklin at pick No. 216 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222 Rnd7 Langston Hardy
Langston Hardy in the 222nd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jayden Bellamy
A slide stopped in pick 246, with Jayden Bellamy worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick254 Rnd7 Evan Johnson
Evan Johnson is a better player than pick No. 254 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
