Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 62 lands the Lions a B, Trice and all.

The board owed the Lions one, and it paid up: Bralen Trice, the No. 39 name on the board, sitting there at Round 2, Pick 30 like a gift left on the doorstep. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in the 30th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
They barely believed it either: Bralen Trice still on the board at Round 2, Pick 30. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
They took Christian Haynes at par in the 73rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick93 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Davis. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick167 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at pick No. 167 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick208 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at slot 208 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick251 Rnd7 BJ Mayes
They will replay BJ Mayes at pick 251 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
