Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 89th pick lands the Lions a B-, Seaton and all.

When a board-topper like Jordan Seaton slides to pick No. 89, you do not overthink it, and the Lions did not.

The Tuioti reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Teitum Tuioti
In pick 25 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Ashton Hampton
Ashton Hampton at Round 2, Pick 25 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jordan Seaton
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Seaton at pick No. 89 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jackson Bennee
Jackson Bennee at No. 126 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Nicholas Rodriguez
Fair-plus on Nicholas Rodriguez, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick204 Rnd6 Dezz Ricks
Good price on Dezz Ricks in slot 204, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick216 Rnd6 Mason Curtis
Mason Curtis in the 216th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246 Rnd7 Niki Prongos
Niki Prongos at the 246th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jordan Faison
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jordan Faison in the Round 7 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
